Velodyne MicroVee Subwoofer

Velodyne subwoofers always differ by non-standard technical solutions and advanced functionality. This also refers to even such a baby like MicroVee. Its body is made of MDF, not of aluminum profile, and has a ribbed anodized surface. Fabric grills on the left and right sides hides 17-cm passive radiators. The main driver with a concave aluminum diffuser on a rubber suspension, designed for big amplitudes, has the same caliber.

Connection on low level is possible through RCA or 3,5-mm jack, providing a two-way connection with iPod docking station. Signal for speaker systems can be brought to spring terminals and removed - from filtered at 120 Hz outputs. Velodyne traditionally uses amplifiers of D class and here it has a truly monster power - 2 kW! Band is adjusted from 50 to 200 Hz, filter bypass is provided. Phase is changed discretely.

This micro subwoofer gives not a micro bass at all. Bottom is powerful, "wide" that is rarity for compact subs and, at the same time, unified and quite punctual, not tight. But MicroVee has favorite notes. We can't say that it falls into strong resonance with some frequencies, found in a phonogram, but harmonic clarity slightly loses due to this.

But Velodyne MicroVee is able to rumble impressively by theatre effects. Kick is felt in the drums.
