The bass makes
the music; you’ll really feel
it. The Blaupunkt sound systems
put rich sound into any vehicle. All
the components are matched with one
another – designed to deliver maximum
performance. The amplifiers operate
like turbo chargers, the subwoofers
like racing engines, and you are the
sound pilot sitting in the cock-
pit. So, just sit back and
enjoy bass power at
its best.

Perfect sound quality has a name: Velocity. The sub-
woofer, component and coaxial systems with the
triangular emblem guarantee music enjoyment of the
highest quality. Made for anyone who is unwilling to
compromise and always looking for perfection. If you
want a concert stage on wheels, the Velocity speaker
systems will get you where you want to go.
Optimal flexibility – all Velocity subwoofers have an impedance of
2 x 2 ohms to offer a wide range of connection configurations.

No room in your car for separate tweeters and woo-
fers? No problem – the Velocity coaxial systems offer
everything for optimal sound quality that you would
otherwise only expect of component systems.
Vx 662
A separate, particularly compact 12 dB
frequency crossover provides for
precise separation between tweeters and
woofers in all the coaxial systems.
It’s all about the impedance. All the Velocity coaxial and
component systems have an impedance of 3 ohms. The
advantage: You can get up to 30 % more power out of
your amplifier compared to conventional 4-ohm systems.
And don’t worry – there won’t be any problems, even if
the system is connected directly to the car radio!
Superior sound, elegance and acoustics that will
blow you away: The best thing about the components
systems in the Vc Series is not their black carbon look.
They also shine with a multitude of other elaborate
details. And anyone who thinks that top-quality sound
has to cost a lot will be pleasantly surprised by this
series.

Input
The direct line – the Velocity
amplifiers are also equipped
with Blaupunkt’s unique
“Direct Aux input”. Which means
that you can connect such
portable devices as MP3 players,
iPods or navigation systems
to the audio systems you have
without an Aux input.
Perfect sound doesn’t come
from nothing – a look into
the interior of the VPA amplifier
shows you where brilliance
begins.
Would you care for a second
helping of power? The “link
function” lets you have it,
connecting two VPA 1500 Pro
amplifiers to create one
powerhouse. The result:
up to 5000 watts at 1 ohm!

This giant will drive any subwoofer to its limits. Thanks
to its uncompromising 1-ohm stability, it delivers up
to 1.5 kW of continuous power or 3 kW of maximum
power. And if that’s not enough, you can also connect
two of these amps to virtually quadruple your power.
Listening to music is good, feeling it is a lot better. The
ideal pre-requisites are provided by amplifiers with
great power reserves that don’t give up even when
the going gets tough. The amplifiers in the Velocity
series are able to meet even the most demanding
requirements. With no compromises. Excellent sound
and top-rate workmanship were combined to create a
unique work of art with a rich feature package.

Great sound with no trouble: The drive concept of the
TH Series impressively displays how compact high-
quality vehicle speaker systems can be today. Don’t
waste any more time on thinking about how your
factory-installed speakers can be replaced by a better
system. And certainly don’t worry about the installat-
ion – because the TH Series fits just about anywhere.
Extremely flat design – easiest installation
Low-resonance membranes made of injected polypropylene
(IPP) in an elegant “black brushed metal look”
Rear-ventilated voice coils for optimized heat dissipation and
higher electrical power handling
Woofer magnets integrated in the steel basket for optimum
stability (Integrated Magnet System)
Designer covers with metal application included
Two particularly compact active subwoofers and a passive
version for the spare-wheel well
Top-rate sound made so
simple – the TH Series.
Elegant and extremely easy to install – the THc 662
pursues this philosophy right to the end. Whether it’s
the low installation depth of the woofer of just 46 mm,
the compact tweeter with its swivel mounting or the
extremely small 12 dB frequency crossover – every-
thing is optimized for the best sound with the smallest
footprint.
THc 662
Perfect climate:
The many vents in the
basket do not only ensure
optimal cooling for the
voice coil, they also
prevent any compression
effects.
Flat intelligence:
The special geometry of
the low-resonance mem-
brane made of injected
polypropylene (IPP) makes
for the particularly flat
design of all the TH speakers.

THb 210 A
This is how small great performance can be: The THb 210 A
is particularly compact (only about 9 liters of net volume),
but still has all the power of a big, fat subwoofer. Saving
space is one of its specialties. No need for a separate
amplifier, because a powerful output stage is already
integrated into an extremely robust enclosure made of
die-cast aluminum. With automatic power-on and speaker
inputs, the THb 210 A is an ideal addition to any existing
original car audio system.
The electronics on the inside
of the THb 210 A with the
powerful 240 W amplifier gives
the right drive to the woofer.
THb 200 A
Flat, but packs a powerful punch: with only 71 mm of
installation height, the subwoofer is so compact that
it fits under the front seat in many different vehicles.
Still, the THb 200 A delivers its best sound performance
when it’s installed directly under the dashboard in the
front-seat passenger footwell.

An ideal couple – the THA 1250 PnP
(not included) fits perfectly into the
recess in the THs 6902.
THs 6902
Get your head “round” this! Now you can tuck your
subwoofer away in a space that is usually left unused
in many vehicles – in the spare-wheel well. And thanks
to the hole in the center of the subwoofer enclosure, it
doesn’t matter if you can’t remove the central bolt that
holds the spare wheel in place. With its two oval 6" x 9"
woofers, the THs 6902 delivers rich, full-bodied bass
sound from a flat bass-reflex box. Pairing this sub-
woofer up with the THA 1250 PnP amplifier makes for an
ideal combination: there’s a recess designed to accom-
modate the amp integrated right into the subwoofer
enclosure.
TH coaxial system sizes:
100 mm, 130 mm, 165 mm and 4" x6".
TH triaxial system sizes:
6" x 9".
TH component system sizes:
130 mm and 165 mm.
TH subwoofer sizes:
200 mm ultra-flat, 200 mm, 2 x6" x9".
Technical specifications, see Page 45.
It doesn’t get any easier than this:
out with the spare wheel – in with
the THs 6902 subwoofer!

Plug’n’Play for Rock’n’Roll –
the THA-PnP amplifiers.
More and more vehicles are now equipped with ra-
dios from the factory that can be upgraded with other
systems some time down the line. And then there
are leasing vehicles that you can’t alter, making ret-
rofitting with new sound systems virtually impossi-
ble. Now there’s a solution for more power – thanks
to Blaupunkt’s new THA Plug ’n’ Play amplifier series,
almost any vehicle can be fitted with powerful am-
plifiers without having to cut a single original cable.
The installation is child’s play in the truest sense of
the word and can usually be finished in less than
30 minutes. The only thing that can be faster is you
making your decision.

Our motto is: Save space. Thanks to their
extremely compact dimensions, the THAs
can be easily installed virtually anywhere.
Gone are the days when amplifiers almost
always had to be installed in the trunk
because of their size. Center console,
glove compartment, under the front seats
or behind the dashboard are the convenient
installation locations of the future.
THA 475 PnP
Simply strong – despite its particularly compact enclo-
sure, the THA 475 PnP is a real powerhouse. Intelligent
circuitry has made it possible to reduce its dimensions
by about 65 percent compared to conventional am-
plifiers in its class. And its innovative Plug ’n’ Play con-
nection technology makes installation incredibly easy.

Say goodbye to bulky tool kits: Up to now, anyone
wanting to install an amplifier needed a whole range
of different pliers, screwdrivers, special wrenches and
often even a soldering iron at the ready. Nowadays,
sometimes all you need are the mounting brackets to
remove the original radio. And thanks to the vehicle-
specific adapters, you don’t need to be an electronics
engineer.
Six steps
to more power:
Remove the radio. Plug the correct PnP adapter
into the radio.
Connect the original wiring
harness to the PnP adapter.
Connect the PnP extension
cord to the PnP adapter.
Connect the PnP extension
cord to the amplifier.
Mount the amplifier and return
the radio to its original position.

A connection for any car: There are 40 different adap-
ters to choose from, which means that you can easily
connect a THA PnP amplifier to factory-installed radios
in close to 1500 vehicle models built by European,
Asian and American manufacturers.
The THA-PnP amplifier is available in four different ver-
sions: 1-channel, 2/1-channel, 4/3/2-channel and 5/4/3-
channel systems.
Technical specifications, see Page 46.
Lots of power – low on “thirst”. In order to supply the
THA PnP amps with power through the original wires,
their power consumption has to be minimal. Thanks to
the enormous efficiency of the PnP amplifiers, almost
all of the input power is transformed into music –
and not into heat. Don’t worry: the PnPs won’t get the
wires smoking – but your ears might.

Black is beautiful –
the GT Series.
Hardly another speaker series currently on the market
has been as successful over the past few years as the
GT Series made by Blaupunk t. Thanks to regular model
updates, these masters of sound have been able to
consistently provide optimized performance year after
year. As a result, the 2009 generation with its 17 dif-
ferent models and sizes is now more uncompromising
and elegant than ever before. The acoustic properties,
which have been enhanced yet again with new cones
and gold-plated connectors for maximum service life,
are unique, not only in this price segment.
Low-resonance membranes (Injected PP) in all GTx,

ticularly elegant appearance. Sound and workmanship
are also in a class of their own, and not only in this
price segment.
What glistens here really is gold
– the connector contacts on the
GT speakers have been covered
with a layer of the precious metal
to provide for optimal resistance
to corrosion.

Going separate ways for perfect sound harmony – the
component systems in the GT series make it possible
to separately install the tweeters at the acoustically
most suitable location. And if that is not enough, their
swivel mounting even allows you to tweak the posi-
tioning to provide for impeccable sound.
The ideal solution for individualists. The parameters of
the GTw subwoofer systems were chosen so that they
provide for impressive deep bass sound in sealed as
well as in bass-reflex enclosures.

Even really successful models can still be tweaked and
optimized. That’s why the new GTA amplifiers were
treated to a full power makeover. Both versions now
deliver more power under all kinds of conditions to
provide for greater sound enjoyment. What has stayed
the same, of course, are the outstanding workman-
ship and legendary reliability. The new amplifiers are
real GTAs, there’s no doubt about it – they’re built for
success!

If your budget is low, but your expectations are high,
it’s time to take a look at the new EM Series. Many of
the elements and ideas that have made the GT Series
so successful have been incorporated into this new
concept. Because the series concentrates on the most
popular sizes, these speakers deliver the right sound
for many vehicles. The small, active EMb 800 A sub-
woofer is the highlight of the series; it can be added
to the system quickly and inexpensively to provide a
richer bass foundation.

prerequisites to afford lots of music quality. The only
cheap thing about this speaker is the price – with no
compromises made in terms of reliability or sound.

The small bass sensation – the compact EMb 800 A is
the ideal way to dramatically upgrade sound systems
that are a little weak on the bass in smaller vehicles.
Its active electronics deliver a lot of power to the wide-
excursion 200-mm chassis, which is built into a solid
bass-reflex enclosure.
The right settings make the critical
acoustic difference. Parameter level,
cut-off frequency and phase – only
when all three are infinitely variable
is it possible to perfectly integrate
an active subwoofer into an existing
speaker system. And that’s why
we have made no exception with the
EMb 800 A.
EMb 800 A
EMb 1200
30 – 27 – 35 – the EMb 1200 has the “ideal figure” for
a powerful bass blizzard. Its 30-cm woofer works in a
27-liter wood enclosure, supported by a bass-reflex
aperture tuned to 35 Hz. So that you not only hear the
music, you can feel it, too.
The tunnels for more pressure – both
EMb subwoofers are supported in the
deep bass range by precisely tuned bass-
reflex channels on the top side of the
enclosure. The generously dimensioned
cross sections minimize unwanted noise.
The EM coaxial system is available in the following sizes:
100 mm, 130 mm and 165 mm.
The EM triaxial system is available in the following sizes:
165 mm and 6"x 9".
The EM subwoofer is available in the following sizes:
200 mm and 300 mm.

exactly the right choice. By concentrating on the most
important functions and ample power reserves, the
amplifiers prove once again that genuine Blaupunkt
quality is available in every price segment. Rich sound
and the legendary reliability are just as much a part of
the package as the high-quality appearance in elegant
titanium silver.

features.
EMA 460 EMA 260
The EMA amplifiers are convincing proof, visually as
well as technically, that cutting corners is absolutely
taboo, even in the entry-level segment. Solid heat
sinks with a brushed, anodized surface on the outside
along with well-engineered technology on the inside
guarantee long product service life with great sound
properties.
A half pint ? No way ! Compared to its bigger colleague,
the EMA 260 is equipped with only two channels and
half the total power, but has all the same features.
