Construction Details The Music | Vienna Acoustics Klimt Series

enclosure is a solid alloy shoe. This single piece alloy shoe attaches to the Music Center´s cabinet in two points in the front and a single point in the rear. To further eliminate the potential for extraneous mechanical information to reach up from the bass cabinet, the aluminum shoe is similarly attached through one large alloy connection point in the rear and a single point in the front. The overall goal with this sophisticated design is to allow the entire Music Center to be positioned at its optimal height and position while also being completely isolated mechanically from the bass cabinet.

Caution: Under no circumstances should the speaker be carried or moved by holding the Music Center. The result can be permanent damage to the adjustment mechanism.

1.3 Construction Details – The Music

Unlike most typical bass cabinets, the bass cabinet of The Music is divided into several cabinets. The top woofer occupies its own cabinet with dedicated venting. The two additional woofers share their own dedicated cabinet with dual venting ports. The three Vienna Acoustics proprietary X3P Spider-Cone™ woofers are then run in parallel with the upper bass unit most directly extending the bass performance of the Music Center and the two lower bass units aiding in further extending bass and overall dynamics. This entire bass assembly acts far more like integrated subwoofers compared to more typical bass units.

The Murata Super-Tweeter occupies its own environment and is mounted at the top of the bass cabinet allowing it to occupy the same general dispersion space as the Music Center. Given the extreme extension this unit adds to overall performance, it is not necessary for it to be mounted in the same cabinet as the conventional tweeter. For this reason we are able to minimize the overall baffle area of the Music Center itself thus eliminate cabinet diffraction.

With a complete speaker system of such mass, it was also necessary to develop special hardware that not only would allow for the fine adjustment in final setup but one that is substantial enough to physically support it. Each individual spiked foot features an oversized threaded center core with a large specially formed head allowing for easy adjustment. Additionally, there are four lock ring nuts that allow for the final locking of each spiked foot after proper setup has been completed. In the event these speakers are installed on fine wood or stone floors, specially created floor protectors are also supplied.

Caution: Under no circumstances should The Music be installed without the base hardware installed.

1.4 Construction Details – The Kiss

The bass cabinet in The Kiss is a bass reflex design. This allows the full advantage of our new proprietary X3P Spider-Cone™ woofer to be taken advantage of. In this configuration we are both able to extend the lower extremes of bass response while also maintaining an overall system that can be matched to the largest selection of high quality amplifiers.
