HGS-10X, HGS-12X and HGS-15X
Since 1983, when Velodyne revolutionized subwoofers with
its patented High Gain Servo
™ technology, reviewers and
consumers have praised their superior performance. The
tradition continues with the HGS-X Series – delivering
Velodyne’s world-famous powerful, accurate, low distortion
bass from incredibly small, easy to place or custom install
cabinets. The High Gain Servo system controls Velodyne’s
unique Dual Tandem Voice Coil drivers powered by a Class
D amplifier that delivers more than 3000 watts of peak
power. Without question, the HGS-X Series are the most
powerful, precise and affordable servo-controlled subwoofers
on the market today.

ERS ™ Amps - Unprecedented Power
To power these incredible subwoofers, Velodyne uses a “digital” switching
amplifier, capable of producing 1250 watts RMS and over 3000 watts peak.
Unlike conventional designs, the HGS-X Series incorporates Velodyne’s
patented Energy Recovery System that converts over 95% of the incoming
current to usable power with minimal heat buildup.
High Gain Servo - Lowest Distortion
Only Velodyne’s High Gain Servo technology can deliver less
than 1% distortion all the way down to 20 Hz and below. This
patented Velodyne technology utilizes a tiny sealed
accelerometer that is mounted to the voice coil, measuring the
actual motion of the speaker cone 3,500 times a second. The
data is fed into a processor where it is compared to the input
signal and any discrepancies are corrected instantaneously. The
distortion that produces the boomy, muddy bass of competitive
subwoofers is virtually eliminated in the HGS-X Series. The
result is deep, dynamic bass that you can actually feel.
