Velodyne MicroVee X
Velodyne’s MicroVee X delivers cinema-scale bass from an exceptionally compact aluminium cube, combining a 6.5-inch driver, dual passive radiators and 300W RMS amplification for startling impact. HIFI.DE found its output far larger, deeper and more forceful than its dimensions suggest, while the remote makes room calibration refreshingly simple. A formidable space-saving choice for blockbuster dynamics.

Pros
Delivers remarkably deep, voluminous and powerful bass for such a compact subwoofer, with especially convincing home-cinema impact.
Produces large-scale, hard-hitting dynamics that make soundtrack drum impacts feel dramatically oversized.
Included remote control makes level, phase and crossover calibration convenient from the listening position.
Cons
Music playback can lack the final degree of precision, control and rhythmic finesse, with its punch occasionally proving excessive.

What Reviewers Are Saying
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Bass
92/100
HIFI.DE says the compact MicroVee X delivers a "serious punch" and can "easily outperform much larger subwoofers," with an unusually large, deep and voluminous presence for its dimensions. Its output and movie-theater impact are repeatedly praised, although music playback can lack the final degree of precision, control and rhythmic finesse.
Integration
50/100
The review says the remote makes calibration to the system and room pleasantly easy, but it does not report whether the subwoofer blends seamlessly with speakers, avoids localization, or remains free of boom and overhang in a complete system. Features ≠ Integration; the available review evidence does not establish the resulting blend.
Dynamics
87/100
The MicroVee X is described as anything but shy, with sound volume that greatly exceeds its compact cabinet. HIFI.DE found that Danny Elfman's drum hits sounded "larger than life," while demanding electronic material let the subwoofer really cut loose.
Build Quality
50/100
The supplied review does not offer meaningful commentary on cabinet construction, finish quality, amplifier reliability, or long-term durability.
Features Usability
83/100
The included remote is specifically praised for making calibration to the listener's system and room pleasantly easy. Beyond that useful setup aid, the review provides little hands-on discussion of controls, connections, or day-to-day operation.
Value for Money
85/100
At roughly 1,399 to 1,799, the MicroVee X is a premium-priced compact subwoofer. The review strongly praises its room-filling output relative to its size, but does not directly compare its asking price with competing models or make an explicit value judgment.

Manufacturer's Description — Velodyne
Velodyne Acoustics MicroVee X
Impressive low frequency response, minimal space requirement
Amazing bass performance in a compact size:
The MicroVee X combines Velodyne Acoustics’ patented technologies in a living room-friendly enclosure.
The MicroVee X from Velodyne Acoustics was designed
to deliver the best music and home cinema experience from the smallest possible enclosure.
At the same time, the subwoofer can be placed discreetly in nearly any home. The Digital Drive Control System (DDCS) and the powerful Class AB amplifier ensure precise and low-distortion bass reproduction.
The Features
- A 6.5-inch active driver combined with two side-mounted passive radiators delivers powerful, musical bass.
- Velodyne Acoustics’ Subwoofer Direct feature optionally bypasses the internal crossover, for best performance in any system.
- With 800 watts peak power, the classic Class AB amplifier offers extreme performance levels with very low distortion and precise bass.
- DDCS reduces distortion to 1/6 of the values of comparable subwoofers
The ultra-compact MicroVee X
ombines patented core technologies from the subwoofer experts at Velodyne Acoustics. For example, the Digital Drive Control system and the Energy Recovery System fit into the smallest space and enable impressive low-frequency reproduction with minimal space requirements. With dimensions of 23 x 23 x 25 cm and a 6.5 inch driver, the subwoofer is one of the smallest from Velodyne Acoustics – but with precise bass, it comes up big.
Great sound in a small space
Measuring 22.9 x 22.9 x 24.4 cm with a 6.5-inch driver, the subwoofer is one of Velodyne Acoustics’ smallest – but with precise bass, it comes up big.
