What customers say
Audiophiles highly praise the Voxativ PI Dipole Woofer System for its exceptional speed and articulation. Reviewers emphasize that the dipole design delivers remarkably fast, natural bass, completely free from cabinet resonances and the typical box sound. This system achieves a cohesive, single-source soundstage when paired with full-range drivers, making the integration virtually undetectable. The bass is consistently described as organic and effortless, providing foundational weight without ever sounding slow. Build quality reflects meticulous German engineering. While the ultra-premium price and specific room placement requirements are noted, the overwhelming consensus is that this woofer sets a benchmark for musicality and transient accuracy in high-fidelity bass reproduction.
Know before you buy
Unlike conventional subwoofers that use an enclosed box to pressurize air, the PI Dipole system is an open-baffle design. By combining Ripol® and Acoustic Stealth Technology®, it moves significantly less air volume, which results in a faster, more natural bass response that avoids the 'boxy' coloration often found in traditional designs.
Yes. The system utilizes two 12" Neodymium woofers specifically engineered to match the transient speed of Voxativ wideband drivers. This ensures that the bass integration is seamless and avoids the lag often heard when pairing high-speed full-range drivers with slower, conventional subwoofers.
The integrated 250W Class AB amplifier features dedicated controls for level, crossover frequency, bass boost, and phase. These adjustments allow you to fine-tune the output to compensate for room modes and ensure the bass perfectly complements your main speakers.
While it is designed to perfectly complement Voxativ loudspeaker systems, its adjustable crossover and phase controls make it highly versatile. It can be integrated into most high-end stereo systems that allow for a line-level connection.
Because the system is a dipole, it radiates sound differently than a front-firing subwoofer. You will achieve the best results by experimenting with the distance from your front and side walls, as the open-baffle nature interacts more directly with the room's acoustics.
The system is rated for a frequency response of 20 Hz to 150 Hz. This allows it to handle the deepest sub-bass frequencies while providing enough range to cross over smoothly with your main speakers.
