For this reason, woofers are also significantly larger than the midrange and tweeter drivers within the rest of the system. Especially when the focus is on a slim design for floor-standing or bookshelf speakers, there is no room for large woofers or mid-bass drivers in the cabinet of 3-way or 2-way speakers. The situation is similar for the very popular on-wall speakers from the home theater sector: the often flat design is optimal for installation, but the lower cut-off frequency is not sufficient to reproduce explosions or massive techno tracks in full bass intensity.<br \/>\nThe solution for a precise and even piercing low-frequency sound is therefore a properly dimensioned specialist: the subwoofer. Properly integrated, it brings more liveliness and perceptible dynamics to music and movies and also supports the main speakers of the system.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;warum-sub-akk-section&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]For this, frequencies above a set value, the cutoff frequency, are passed along to the subwoofer. Depending on the configuration, it then takes over the low frequency below 60-100 Hertz and the other speakers can fully concentrate on the sounds above. If you want a subwoofer that plays particularly low in the living room or home theater, the lower cutoff frequency is important &#8211; this also indicates in the unit Hertz how far down the special woofer can climb in the frequency range.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"single_image wpb_content_element align-left    \" data-animation=\"none\" data-delay=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/velodyneacoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/subwoofer-und-standlautsprecher-en-450x213.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"213\" alt=\"subwoofer-und-standlautsprecher-en\" title=\"subwoofer-und-standlautsprecher-en\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_image=&#8221;780&#8243; bg_color=&#8221;#f7f7f7&#8243; text_color=&#8221;light&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;100&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;100&#8243; row_id=&#8221;subwoofer-direct&#8221;][vc_column column_center=&#8221;true&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;]<div class=\"iconbox  wpb_content_element iconbox-style-3 icon-color-accent color-dark\"><img src='https:\/\/velodyneacoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/icon-subwoofer-direct-white.png' class='iconimg' alt='Subwoofer Direct' \/><h3>Subwoofer Direct<\/h3><p>Subwoofer Direct is just one of many exclusive technologies from Velodyne Acoustics.

The best example is the listening room at the dealer: Here the speakers are placed in a perfect stereo triangle in a demonstration room with very good acoustics. At home, things look different again. Window surfaces and open living rooms make life a bit more difficult for interested hi-fi enthusiasts here and often require compromises when it comes to placement. This makes a wide audience area with precise bass a real challenge. Here again, the subwoofer comes into play. Depending on the location, it can reproduce the low frequencies for all channels, calibrate them and solve some acoustic problems with a suitable cutoff frequency. In practically every case, the subwoofer thus helps to create a better system and charms listeners with its tactile, authentic reproduction.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;100&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;100&#8243; class=&#8221;warum-sub-testimonials&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"underline-center\">What experts say<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"minti_carousel testimonial-slider grab-false dots\" data-columns=\"2\" data-tabletcolumns=\"1\" data-nav=\"true\" data-pagination=\"false\" data-autoplay=\"false\" data-animationtime=\"4000\"><div class=\"testimonial-wrap wpb_content_element\"><div class=\"testimonial\">&#8220;Especially in the home theater, the reproduction benefits enormously from a subwoofer. The bass in action-packed blockbusters becomes clearly feelable and turns movie enjoyment into a real experience. In addition, a particularly balanced and maximally authentic low-frequency range can only be achieved with the right combination of room optimization, loudspeakers and one or even several subwoofers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.areadvd.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.areadvd.de<\/a><\/div><div class=\"testimonial-author\">Philipp Kind<span>Editor AreaDVD<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"testimonial-wrap wpb_content_element\"><div class=\"testimonial\">&#8220;In a system with an active subwoofer, living room integration is particularly easy.
