Morgan Hill, Calif. – Powered-subwoofer supplier Velodyne

brand of powered subwoofers to multiple regional distributors in
the U.S. and Canada to better reach custom installers, the company announced.
The brand, launched
in May 2008, was originally developed by Velodyne to target national catalog
distributors, who remain the core of the business, the company told TWICE. The
products include in-room and in-wall subwoofers. The also share the same,
performance, technology, quality and specifications as Velodyne-branded
products, the company said.
The new distributors are

preapproved by Velodyne, a spokesman said.
“With our recent distribution partnerships, installation
professionals now have greater access to our Chrysalis brand of products,” said
Velodyne president Bruce Hall.
Chrysalis offers
four series: the Install Advantage series of in-wall subs; the Photon series of
small, Class-D-powered in-room subs; the Bass Matrix series of DSP-equipped
