Angeboten wird „Digital Drive 18 Plus“ von Velodyne als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Subwoofer Aktiv“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 3661635534 endet am 08.08.2026 um 10:54 Uhr.
€3,699 is above the 75th percentile versus your recent comparable set, so this reads as an ambitious ask rather than a fair-market buy. With a median of €1,715 and a 75th percentile of €2,620, the listing is priced well into the top end of the market, so I’d want a very strong reason to pay that premium.
That said, this is a serious flagship subwoofer and the appeal is obvious: huge low-end output, deep extension, and the kind of room control and bass authority that made Velodyne’s Digital Drive line a reference for a reason. If it’s complete, fully functional, and ideally includes the original mic/remote/accessories, there’s real upside for someone chasing top-tier bass performance; otherwise, the price leaves little room for age-related risk or missing parts.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Velodyne Acoustics traces its origins to 1983, when founder David Hall launched the brand in Silicon Valley, the epicenter of high-tech innovation. Hall, an engineer with a vision for revolutionizing home audio, introduced the groundbreaking ULD-18 subwoofer featuring a patented accelerometer-based High Gain Servo system. This technology delivered unprecedented control over low-frequency reproduction, setting a new standard for bass performance in music and movies and establishing Velodyne as a pioneer in powered subwoofers.
The brand's product focus remains laser-sharp on subwoofers, with over 200 patents driving innovations like the world's first DSP-controlled model in 2003. Velodyne specializes in high-quality active subwoofers optimized for hi-fi stereo systems and home cinema, emphasizing deep, distortion-free bass that integrates seamlessly into demanding setups. While not diversifying into speakers, amplifiers, or other categories, their designs prioritize technical precision for audiophiles seeking foundational low-end authority.
Velodyne holds a commanding reputation as the world's leading subwoofer manufacturer for over 40 years, positioned firmly in the high-end market for discerning hi-fi and custom install buyers. Acquired by Germany's Audio Reference in 2019 and now exclusively imported in the U.S. by Origin Acoustics via custom channels, the brand continues to embody bass perfection, blending American engineering heritage with European stewardship.
