A $399 subwoofer that delivers deep, precise lows to elevate your audio experience.
Excellent performance from a low cost subwoofer. It makes multiple subs in a room an affordable possibility. Or Try a proximity sub behind your listening chair. Or go nuts and build a "wall o' subs" for an impressive visual backdrop to your audio system.
At the heart of the Caldera 12 lies a formidable 12-inch driver, driven by a robust 500-watt Class D amplifier. This potent combination ensures authoritative bass reproduction, reaching depths as low as 22Hz at -3dB, adding a profound foundation to your music and movies. We as Tweek Geeks will say that they do sacrifice sheer volume for lower level, precise and low distortion bass. That means, if you want high quality and high output bass, multiple subs would be needed. But at this price, one can afford more than one.
Design and Build Unheard Of At This Price
Encased in a beautifully crafted cabinet featuring real rosewood veneer with black edgework, the Caldera 12 seamlessly blends into any décor. Its dimensions are thoughtfully designed to balance presence and placement flexibility, measuring approximately 16 inches in width, 14 inches in height, and 15 3/4 inches in depth. Despite its substantial performance capabilities, it maintains a manageable weight, allowing for easy integration into your existing setup.
Seamless Connectivity and Control
The Caldera 12 offers versatile connectivity options, including line-level inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio systems. User-friendly controls for gain, crossover frequency, and phase adjustment allow for precise tuning to match your main speakers and room acoustics, delivering a cohesive and immersive listening experience.
Experience the Vanguard Caldera 12 and feel the difference that precision engineering and powerful performance can make in your audio system. Elevate your soundstage with bass that is not only heard but felt, bringing your favorite music and movies to life with unparalleled depth and clarity.
The Caldera 12 sub near field measurement (mic at vent exit plane and 10mm from cone) shows a -3dB F3 of 23Hz.
