All V1 models use the C125 aluminium cone driver to handle the range up to 3kHz. Mounted on soft silicone rubber o-rings in the proprietary cast resin enclosure, structural resonance is kept to a minimum allowing these patented drivers to deliver an exceptional mid-range transparency along with an articulate bass common to all Vivid products.
High frequencies are handled by the patented D26 in a variant specially adapted to sit at the apex of a shallow waveguide unique to the V1. Not only does this perfectly time align both frequency ranges but also affords directivity control to match that of the mid-range through crossover, a frequently overlooked issue in two way designs, resulting in the smoothest power response.
Specifically designed for wall mounting, the V1w includes a versatile and easy-to-use ball and socket bracket which allows 30 degrees of rotation in any direction.
Being a two-way design the V1s exploits the benefits of a contoured baffle to preserve time alignment of the drivers as well as improve efficiency and directivity of the D26 tweeter. Pair the V1w with a high quality subwoofer and you can extend the low frequency range and output of the system considerably.
