The series includes a 10-inch sub at $800 and a 12-inch at $900. Considering the company’s top-of-the-line subs go for upwards of $3300, these new additions will likely have the ears of home theater enthusiasts on a budget perking right up.
The new Wi-Q line is not Velodyne’s first or even least expensive wireless subwoofer offering, but it is certainly the most feature-rich and high performance-oriented. The sub comes with some of the company’s best tech, including an automatic EQ which instantly tweaks the sub’s settings to optimally match any main speakers via an exclusive, built-in processor.
You’ll still need to set up the sub in a location where its power cable can reach an outlet, but other stand-alone subs (near the Wi-Q’s price-point) with “wireless” technology are in the same boat, and many of them aren’t natively wireless — they require (often expensive) add-on accessories to achieve the same level of freedom from the main speakers.
Other notable features include Velodyne’s exclusive distortion-limiting system and dual-layer large copper voice coils, specifically matched with 7.40-lb. magnets for what we’re confident will be some hard hitting bass with plenty of finesse.
Velodyne’s Wi-Q line is available now, and you can find out more at the company’s site right here.
