Velodyne CHT-15Q Subwoofer

The older model from the popular CHT-Q series is equipped with a 15-inch (380 mm) driver of proprietary design. The driver has a front location and operates in a bass-reflex design with a slot-type port. The built-in digital amplifier is endowed with a serious power of 1.5 kW.

To correct the sound and implement a system of automatic tuning for a specific room, the subwoofer is equipped with a correction unit with a powerful DSP processor. In addition to the Auto EQ auto-calibration system with a remote microphone, it has four audio presets (Movies, R&B/Rock, Jazz/Classical, Games) for optimal reproduction of a specific musical genre.

First of all, this subwoofer amazes with absolute sound universality and the ability to legibly reproduce almost any complexity of the material. Bass is perfectly damped in the main band, fast and has an accurate attack. Closer to the lower boundary, the articulation is slightly lost, which is not too noticeable even for the trained ear. Sometimes the body starts to play along, but it happens at critical volume levels. In general, Velodyne CHT-15Q is worthy of praise for the faithful transfer of the structure of a composition and incredible potential when working in a cinema system - here it is almost second to none.
