Velodyne VI-Q 15 Active Subwoofer

The Velodyne Acoustics VI-Q 15 is the flagship powerhouse of the VI-Q series, designed to deliver uncompromised, earth-shaking bass. Encased in a massive, resonance-free 22mm HDF chassis with a 50mm front board, it houses a formidable 15-inch carbon fiber driver backed by a 3-inch four-layer voice coil. Driven by an incredibly robust Class-D amplifier generating up to 1200 watts of dynamic power, the VI-Q 15 descends to a visceral 18Hz, ensuring audiophile-grade bass for top-tier home cinema systems.

Key Features

– 15-Inch Carbon Fiber Cone: Delivers massive air displacement with ultra-low distortion and an exceptionally fast response.

– 1200W Class-D Amplification: Employs a highly efficient switching power supply to generate 650W RMS and 1200W dynamic peak power.

– iWoofer App Integration: Unlocks a 25-band parametric EQ and automated room acoustic optimization directly from your smartphone.

– 50mm Plywood Front Baffle: Features a rigid 21-layer plywood structure that eliminates structural colorations and unwanted cabinet resonance.

– XLR and RCA Connectivity: Provides professional balanced XLR terminals alongside traditional RCA and high-level inputs for zero-noise signal transfer.

The Velodyne Acoustics VI-Q 15 utilizes a massive closed-box configuration that trades boisterous port noise for absolute acoustic precision. At its core lies a front-firing 15-inch driver constructed from an ultra-rigid carbon fiber composite, backed by a 3-inch voice coil. The entire moving assembly is anchored within a heavy-duty cabinet featuring a solid front face engineered from 21 layers of plywood. This 50-millimeter-thick structure dampens mechanical feedback, ensuring that even under heavy loads, you hear pure, tightly disciplined bass energy.

The layout of the VI-Q 15 terminal block ensures seamless compatibility with both vintage stereos and modern multi-channel processors. The chassis features balanced XLR inputs to prevent ground loop hum over long cable runs, stereo RCA ports, and dedicated LFE channels. High-level binding posts are also included, allowing users to draw a pristine signal directly from regular stereo power amplifiers. This comprehensive connectivity array secures the subwoofer’s place as a versatile foundation for any high-end audio ecosystem.
