Redline, UK distributors of Velodyne subwoofers, Artison loudspeakers and Moon Electronics, are set to show the £11,000 Velodyne Digital Drive 1812 Signature Edition subwoofer at this years CEDIA show.

"When Velodyne announces a new subwoofer, the earth trembles - literally." Stereophile's Guide to Home Theater. This flagship product, the Digital Drive 1812 Signature Edition, is the industry's first two-way, all digital, High Gain Servo controlled subwoofer. It is the most powerful subwoofer ever built. The Signature 1812 can recreate the power and force of bass you feel in your stomach along with the speed and tightness you get from the snap of a kick drum. This benchmark in subwoofer technology is also the first to incorporate Velodyne's patent pending Digital Drive room analysis and correction system.
