Design and Sound Quality
With its impeccable bass, transparent midrange, and extended highs, the VR.thirty delivers an exceptional listening experience with no discernible sweet spot—allowing for optimal performance throughout the room. This makes it a versatile choice for any audiophile or music lover.
Foundation Hybrid Bass System
The Foundation Hybrid Bass System elevates bass performance by integrating an 800-watt Foundation amplifier dedicated to powering the woofers. Unlike DSP-driven systems, the Foundation Bass System operates entirely through an analog crossover network, preserving the tonal character of your preferred amplifier while offering enhanced dynamics and precise bass optimization. This system ensures that listeners can enjoy greater flexibility in speaker placement without compromising sound quality.
The system allows for optimized bass response within a room, reducing irregularities in low-frequency output that often impact overall tonal balance. This results in a more natural, accurate soundstage that reflects the intentions of the recording engineer.
Triple-Wall Quiet Cabinet
Von Schweikert's Triple-Wall Quiet Cabinet construction is a hallmark of the brand’s commitment to reducing cabinet resonance. Developed in collaboration with Cal Tech in 1994, this construction features three layers:
- Outer layer: High-Density Fiberboard (HDF)
- Middle layer: Synthetic stone
- Inner layer: Dense woven damping material
This composite structure effectively cancels unwanted vibrations and energy, ensuring that the speaker’s performance is not compromised by cabinet resonance, providing a clean, focused sound.
Rear Soundfield Creation
The Rear Soundfield Creation system, developed by Albert Von Schweikert, uses an ambient retrieval ribbon driver to recreate a natural, immersive soundstage. By mimicking the spaced omni-microphone technique used in concert hall recordings, the system enhances the perception of space and depth, making every recording sound as though it was meant to be heard in a live acoustic environment. This ensures a consistent, lifelike sound regardless of recording techniques or microphone types.
Drivers & Crossovers
The VR.thirty utilizes Accuton ceramic drivers for midrange and bass frequencies, known for their lightweight, stiff cones with exceptional damping properties. This choice ensures minimal distortion and superior impulse response, delivering superior clarity and bandwidth.
The Danish beryllium tweeter handles high frequencies, offering exceptional power handling, detail, and dispersion. Combined with Von Schweikert's proprietary crossover design, the beryllium tweeter produces one of the finest high-frequency responses in the industry.
Custom Cabinet Finishing
Each VR.thirty speaker is finished by Fausto Reyes, a renowned artisan with a background in custom guitar finishes. Fausto’s expertise in applying multi-coat finishes gives the VR.thirty a luxurious, high-quality appearance. His craftsmanship ensures that every speaker leaving the factory is not just a high-performance audio tool but also a piece of art. The cabinets are built by second-generation American craftsmen, ensuring a product of unmatched quality and craftsmanship.
The VR.thirty represents the perfect synthesis of cutting-edge technology, meticulous craftsmanship, and superior materials, making it a standout in the high-end loudspeaker market. Whether you choose the passive version or the upgraded Foundation Hybrid Bass System, the VR.thirty delivers a listening experience that’s both dynamic and immersive—designed to bring your music to life.
