Velodyne F-1200-B Servo Controlled 12″ Active Subwoofer – Fully Serviced, Working Perfectly, Very Good Cosmetics

Deliver deep, controlled bass with the Velodyne F-1200-B—a legendary servo-controlled subwoofer from the 1990s that remains a benchmark for tight, musical low-end reproduction. Professionally serviced and working perfectly, this unit is in very good cosmetic condition and ready to anchor any serious audio or home theater system.

The Velodyne F-series represented the pinnacle of servo-controlled subwoofer technology for its era. The servo accelerometer feedback system continuously monitors driver movement and applies real-time corrections, virtually eliminating distortion and lag—resulting in bass that is exceptionally fast, tight, and accurate. Music lovers praise Velodyne’s servo designs for their musicality and precision, making them equally at home with vinyl jazz and orchestral recordings as with movie soundtracks.

This cubic enclosure houses a 12-inch long-throw driver powered by a 100-watt Class A/B amplifier in a sealed-box design that extends down to 20Hz with authority. The servo control delivers output that rivals modern subwoofers with far more amplifier power—a testament to Velodyne’s elegant engineering and the efficiency of proper servo feedback. Adjustable crossover frequency (40–200Hz) and phase control allow perfect integration with any speaker system.
