Velodyne MiniVee X High-gloss White and made of transparent acrylic
One of the most impressive subwoofers from German specialist Velodyne Acoustics GmbH, the Velodyne MiniVee X, is now available not only in black, but also in high-gloss white. As a strictly limited edition, it is also available in transparent acrylic.
- Velodyne Acoustics GmbH is now presenting the Velodyne MiniVee X not only in high-gloss white, but also as a special limited edition model in transparent acrylic.
The Velodyne MiniVee X is certainly one of the most impressive subwoofer systems from specialist Velodyne Acoustics GmbH. Of course, it is by no means the largest and therefore by no means the most powerful model from the company, but it is one of the most compact, which nevertheless has an astonishing depth and corresponding power for a commanding performance.
Velodyne Acoustics GmbH therefore speaks of the Velodyne MiniVee X as a solution that can be easily integrated into any room without compromising on quality, but rather is rewarded with a rich, dynamic, precise bass.
An ultra-compact, flexible subwoofer
The Velodyne MiniVee X should prove to be an ultra-compact all-rounder that can be easily integrated into almost any living space, according to the manufacturer’s promise. The focus here is on a compact, closed housing that is very robust thanks to its stable MDF construction, in order to prevent any resonances from the outset.
8-inch woofer, Class D amplifier and DSP-based signal processing
The woofer used here is an eight-inch long excursion driver with dual ferrite magnet motor and two-inch voice coil, which is supported by an eight-inch passive driver.
The active woofer is powered by a Class D amplifier module that can deliver 350 watts of nominal power and up to 800 watts of peak power.
For optimum performance, the Velodyne MiniVee X relies on DSP-based signal processing and can be fully automatically adjusted for the respective room using the Velodyne Acoustics Auto EQ app for Apple iOS and Google Android in conjunction with a microphone included in the scope of delivery.
The panel of the Velodyne MiniVee X is well equipped with all relevant controls and the Velodyne MiniVee X also offers everything you need for HiFi and home cinema applications with RCA stereo inputs and outputs, XLR sockets for stereo in and stereo out as well as high-level inputs in the form of solid screw terminals.
The Velodyne MiniVee X measures 30 x 29 x 29 cm and weighs 15 kg, for the sake of completeness.
Previously only available in black – now available in high-gloss white and as a special model in transparent acrylic
Until now, Velodyne Acoustics GmbH has only offered the Velodyne MiniVee X in black, in high-gloss black. For ISE 2025 in Barcelona, the company is now announcing two further design variants, firstly in high-gloss white, and also a very special model with a transparent acrylic housing that allows a view of the inner workings. However, it should be emphasised that this is a limited edition design variant.
Prices and availability
The Velodyne MiniVee X in high-gloss white will be available immediately from specialist retailers, for which the price remains unchanged at € 999,- compared to the still available model in high-gloss black. It is not yet known when and at what price the transparent acrylic version of the Velodyne MiniVee X will be available.
Getting to the point
It is extremely pleasing that Velodyne Acoustics GmbH is now offering the particularly compact and therefore particularly flexible Velodyne MiniVee X subwoofer not only in high-gloss black, but also as an alternative in high-gloss white. It is also exciting that the Velodyne MiniVee X is also available in transparent acrylic, although this is only a strictly limited special model.
