Velodyne Acoustics VI-Q 12

A VIRTUOSO IN BASS PERFORMANCE

VI-Q Series distills over 40 years of Velodyne subwoofer mastery into three sealed-box designs—each app-controlled for precision, power, and seamless integration. From finely textured low-end to room-shaking impact, VI-Q delivers articulate, controlled bass that transforms music, movies, and games into fully immersive experiences.

VI-Q 12

This sealed 12” subwoofer features a triple-vented carbon fibre driver with dual-ferrite motor, four-layer 76mm copper voice coil, and 500W RMS (900W peak) Class D amplification. Measuring 480 x 410 x 410mm, VI-Q 12 pairs deep extension and fast transient response with app-based DSP control—delivering bass that’s as disciplined as it is dynamic.

ENGINEERED FOR EXCURSION

A high-excursion carbon fibre cone, dual-ferrite magnet motor, and four-layer copper voice coil form a power plant capable of up to 28mm of linear travel. Triple motor ventilation ensures consistent output without heat compression—maintaining authority and nuance at any level.

COOL UNDER PRESSURE

Triple-stage motor ventilation—beneath the spider, through the pole plate, and via six rear voice-coil vents—keeps heat at bay during the most demanding passages. By reducing power compression and maintaining magnetic strength, VI-Q sustains peak output without sacrificing clarity or control.

AMPLIFIED WITH INTENT

VI-Q’s DSP-controlled Class D amplifier delivers up to 650W RMS and 1,200W peak power (model dependent). With MOSFET output stages, anti-clipping, and thermal protection, it maintains composure under pressure—supplying clean, efficient drive that keeps distortion at bay.

CABINETRY FOR CONTROL

VI-Q’s sealed HDF enclosure is reinforced with a massive 50mm front baffle and internal bracing to eliminate cabinet resonance. With matte finishes to prevent light reflections, it delivers clean impulse response and tight, controlled bass at reference-level playback.

DIALED IN

Rear-panel controls give you hands-on command of phase (0°/180°), crossover (50–180 Hz), and volume, plus the ability to engage DSP mode at will. Combine these tactile adjustments with app-based fine-tuning, and VI-Q responds precisely to your room, your system, and your taste.

DEPTH THAT DEFIES

Reaching as low as 18 Hz (±10 dB) in the 15” model, VI-Q delivers bass that’s not just heard, but felt—pressurising the room with infrasonic weight while preserving speed and definition. Whether it’s a cinematic earthquake or the fundamental of a pipe organ, the foundation is rock-solid.

TUNED TO YOUR FREQUENCY

Using the iWoofer™ Pro app, VI-Q offers automatic room correction, 25-band parametric EQ, and adjustable crossover slopes up to 48dB/octave. Fine-tune gain, phase, delay, and bass extension from your listening position for a seamless blend with your main speakers.

CONNECTED ON EVERY LEVEL

From modern AV processors to vintage stereo amps, VI-Q integrates with ease. With RCA, XLR, and high-level inputs, plus trigger in and USB power output for Velodyne’s wireless system, it supports any setup—and daisy-chains effortlessly for multi-subwoofer systems.
