Sonance VP66-SST/surface

The VP66-SST/SUR is a speaker that can operate in stereo mode (a single speaker to obtain a stereophonic sound) or in surround mode (as part of a home theater setup).

The design of the new VP speakers has been computer-modeled to ensure a consistent frequency response and sound signature at any sound pressure level while significantly minimizing distortion at high volumes. The tweeter is equipped with a compression chamber that lowers its resonance frequency, reduces the pressure on the tweeter dome, and allows the use of a lower crossover frequency than the woofer while reducing distortion near the said frequency.

The sound dispersion cone has a much wider opening than “standard” speakers (± 60°), which offers more flexibility in terms of installation, as it is possible to offset the speaker without compromising the perceived audio quality.

The woofer is designed to move 3 times more than that of a standard speaker, thus delivering more present and precise low frequencies. Both the woofer and tweeter benefit from low diffraction. Moreover, the drivers have been positioned further forward to reduce acoustic reflection issues and increase the precision of the acoustic image. The die-cast aluminum baffle increases the rigidity of the speaker and the sonic clarity.
