Velodyne SCIWDVR (Black/White)

Velodyne SubContractor Series In-Wall Subwoofer

549999102

More and more homeowners are opting for in-wall and in-ceiling loudspeakers to give their homes that uncluttered look. Traditionally, that has worked pretty well with stereo-speaker systems or surround sound front, center, and rear speakers. But what about the sub? Subwoofers with their big, booming bass requirements generally are too large and unwieldy to be easily accommodated to in-wall installations. Well, that was true until Velodyne's introduction of its SCIW in-wall subwoofer.

Requires Velodyne SC1250 Amplifier And SCIWBB Back Box For Proper Installation

In-Wall Is Out Of Sight!

Few subwoofers qualify as pretty. Most lurk in the corner of your living room like a mini-fridge with intent to kill. Subtlety, never their strong suit. The Velodyne SC-IW is the first in-wall to fit flush in a 2x4 studded wall and deliver reference quality performance. The patent-pending 4" x 14" rectangular SC-IW driver fires vertically in the wall for maximum throw and minimal vibration to reproduce the most demanding home theater audio and music with authority, accuracy, and low distortion. With a unique 2-piece cabinet design and SC-IWBB back box accessory (sold separately) to further reduce vibration,, the SCIW is easy to install whether it's for new construction or retrofit.

The Technology

The innovative, vertically firing T-shaped driver is specifically designed to maximize the SCIW's performance while significantly reducing wall vibration. The driver uses a quad spider design using a patent-pending drive shaft, a neodymium motor structure and a thick composite drive surface. These enhancements enable an extremely long throw driver sporting more than one inch peak-top-peak travel while exhibiting exponentially less wall vibration than traditional in-walls that fire in and out. Complementing the cutting-edge driver technology is the enclosure, also specifically designed for in-wall installations. The enclosure utilizes a propriety multilayer sandwich material that is laminated under high pressure. This yields an extremely rigid cabinet that has the density and performance of traditional high-end enclosures while having very thin walls allowing for maximum internal driver air volume.

Custom Is Coming Of Age

Velodyne Acoustics broadens its support of the fast-growing custom installation market with the introduction of the SCIW subwoofer, an in-wall subwoofer able to fit flush in a standard 2 x 4 wall, show less than 5" high of grill area, and deliver reference quality bass performance. It features a unique two-piece cabinet design with separate driver and back box enclosures. The SCIW subwoofer can be used for either new construction or retro-fit installations. In new construction, the back box can be mounted at the rough-in stage at very little cost to the installer, while the driver module is installed at the trim-out stage. In retrofit situations both enclosures are mounted together. The SCIW is the ideal solution for installations that demand an easy-to-install subwoofer with an unobtrusive design that won't compete with a room's decor while delivering deep, accurate and visceral bass performance with minimal wall vibration.

Get Invisible

The SCIW includes both a 14-inch high standard grill for easy installation and servicing and a sub-five inch high grill for the absolute minimum of visible grill area. Both grills can be painted to match your room's decor, and each features a 90-degree scoop that enables the vertically firing woofer to project bass into the room. Watch them disappear, then listen to them fill the room.
