Tiny Subwoofer Rocks The Joint

Anyone with a surround sound system will know how vital a subwoofer is but, the problem for many is that they tend to be quite big and difficult to place unobtrusively in the living room. The term sore thumb applies. Velodyne, experts in all things subwoofer, think its latest tiny woofer is the perfect solution.

Measuring around 9ins [22.9 x 22.9 x 24.4cm], this little box promises an explosive 1200 Watts of dynamic power, or around 600 Watts RMS. Thats enough to shake the foundations. The company describes it best as “room-pounding bass from a room friendly box. Despite its diminutive size though, the privilege of owning something that will not leave an unsightly bulge behind the curtain will cost you around £575. Full specs after the jump.-Martin Lynch
