SC-600 IF/IC User’s Manual - 1

PROdUCT OVERViEW

Congratulations on your purchase of a Velodyne Impact subwoofer system. This system represents the state-

of-tThe SC-600 IF/IC is an affordable in-ceiling or in-floor subwoofer that offers outstanding performance and 

value. The SC-600 IF/IC sports a powerful 12” driver and slot-loaded, bass reflex cabinet enabling maximum 

performance to reproduce the most demanding home theater and music with authority, accuracy and low 

distortion. The SC-600 IF/IC is easy to install whether it’s for new construction or retrofit – four adjustable 

brackets are included that can be attached anywhere on the cabinet surface. The SC-600, a rack-mountable 

amplifier that powers the SC-600 Series, features 400 watts dynamic / 200 watts RMS power.

The SC-600 IF/IC can be installed in a variety of locations and positions for a given installation. The SC-600 IF/

IC can be used in-floor, in ceiling, or in other applications – all that is required is a sturdy stud frame to mount 

to and a way to mount the SC-ICG (In-Ceiling) Grille or decorative grille. The woofer cabinet is 14” wide so 

ideally installs with 16” joist spacing. However, spacer boards can be used to adapt the SC-600 IF/IC to other 

applications.

This document provides the detailed process for properly installing the SC-600 IF/IC. The user’s manual for the 

SC-600 subwoofer amplifier provides the details on connectivity and proper configuration of the SC-600 IF/IC 

after installation.

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT ONLY THE SC-600 AMPLIFIER BE USED WITH THE SC-600 IF/IC, 

DUE TO THE SPECIFIC EQ CURVES AND AMPLIFIER CUSTOMIZATION IN THE SC-600.

A Word About Grilles

The SC-600 IF/IC comes with a permanently attached protective metal grille. This is intended to protect the 

driver from debris falling into it in in-floor installation situations. No register or decorative grille is provided – the 

installer must determine the location of the subwoofer and what is to be used as a register or other decorative 

grille to hide the subwoofer enclosure after the installation is complete.

Velodyne does offer, as an option, a paintable, perforated metal 12” ceiling grille, the SC-ICG.
