The Velodyne VA-1215X is a high-performance powered subwoofer designed for home theater and audiophile applications. It includes a 12-inch forward firing woofer with a 2-inch voice coil and a 55 oz magnet, paired with a 15-inch downward firing passive radiator to enhance low-frequency output. The built-in amplifier delivers 250 watts RMS power, with peak power handling up to 750 watts. The frequency response ranges from 22 Hz to 120 Hz ±3 dB, providing deep and accurate bass reproduction. It features adjustable low-pass crossover (40 to 120 Hz) with bypass option and selectable high-pass crossover at 80 or 100 Hz, allowing integration with various speaker systems. Additional controls include variable volume, phase control from 0 to 180 degrees, and a two-position audio/video listening selection switch that adds +3 dB output in video mode. The subwoofer is magnetically shielded for safe use near video equipment and includes line-level and speaker-level inputs and outputs with 5-way binding posts. It also has signal sensing auto turn on/off with bypass option, gain compression and input overload protection circuits, and thermal power sensing to protect the woofer's voice coil. The cabinet dimensions are approximately 18" x 19" x 19" (W x H x D), and the unit weighs about 67 lbs. It comes with a two-year warranty on parts and labor. The VA-1215X is well-regarded for its powerful, deep bass and robust build quality, though some users note a slightly boomy character in certain setups.
