Connections, Cabling | Vienna Acoustics Schonberg Series guide

The extra available space in the middle of the cabinet allows for the use of physically deeper pure

high-end mid-bass drivers. An additional benefit of the speakers´ shape is the lack of parallel walls,

which avoids internal standing waves from adver-sely affecting performance.

In extensive research we found out that it is vital not to use a single enclosed form in creating the box, but to break the cabinet into two separate elements connected by MDF, with additional dam-ping strips between the MDF and the aluminium, in

order to completely eliminate deleterious cabinet resonance.

CONNECTIONS

All connections must be complete and secure, since poor contact between speaker cable and input connector can lead to degradation of sound quality.

The speakers come with a set of two silver plated banana plugs in which the speaker wire is inserted and held in place by screwing down the insert post.

For the aluminium line we use silver plated banana connectors that do not oxidize, but contaminants or surface oxidation build-up on your speaker cables and connectors may degrade sound quality.

It is also a good idea to make a point of regularly cleaning all connections in your system since oxi-dation will build up on a regular basis that can lead to signal degradation.

ATTENTION:

Please pay special attention when handling the cables during hookup of the loudspeaker. It is recommended that the amplifier be turned off while connection to the speaker is made secure, with no stray wires contacting the cabinet.

As with any metal, the aluminium that makes up much of the cabinet is a conductive material. Therefore, a short circuit could result if any bare wire or connector should come in contact with the cabinet.

CABLING

We encourage and recommend the use of high quality speaker cables and believe them to be an important tool for the enthusiast in obtaining maximum enjoyment from their music reproduction system. High quality cabling is a significant tool in the fine-tuning of any audio system.

As with any purchase, listen carefully and allow your ears to guide you. It is beyond the scope of this manual to provide a useful compendium concerning cables, or to make specific brand or model recommendations. A number of high quality magazines do in fact list cable recommendations.

Schonberg Series specifications

Vienna Acoustics, renowned for its commitment to high-quality sound reproduction, has once again raised the bar with its Schonberg Series. Named after the famous 20th-century composer Arnold Schoenberg, this series is designed to deliver an exceptional audio experience that resonates with musical authenticity and emotional depth.

One of the most striking features of the Schonberg Series is its elegant design. These speakers are meticulously crafted from high-quality materials, presenting a modern aesthetic that seamlessly fits into any décor. The wood veneer finishes are available in a variety of colors, adding a touch of sophistication while enhancing acoustic performance.

At the heart of the Schonberg Series is Vienna Acoustics’ use of advanced driver technology. The series incorporates a 1-inch silk dome tweeter and a high-performance mid-bass driver, providing an impressive frequency response that captures even the subtlest nuances of music. The drivers are designed to produce an extended high-frequency range, ensuring clarity and detail in vocals and instruments, while the mid-bass driver delivers rich, powerful sound for a truly immersive listening experience.

Another hallmark of the Schonberg Series is its cabinet construction. The enclosures are built using a combination of MDF and reinforced materials, minimizing unwanted resonance while maximizing the internal volume. This careful engineering results in a natural soundstage with accurate imaging, allowing listeners to perceive the depth and breadth of recordings as intended by the artists.

Moreover, the Schonberg Series features a sophisticated crossover network that optimizes the performance of the drivers. By precisely dividing the audio signal between the tweeter and mid-bass driver, the crossover ensures a seamless transition across frequencies, reducing phase distortion and improving overall coherence. This technology allows for an expansive soundstage and unparalleled spatial accuracy, enhancing the overall listening experience.

The series also takes into account versatility and ease of use. The Schonberg speakers are designed to perform well in various environments, whether in a dedicated listening room or a casual setting. They are compatible with a range of audio equipment, making them an excellent choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

In conclusion, the Vienna Acoustics Schonberg Series stands out for its elegant design, advanced driver technology, robust cabinet construction, and precision crossover network. Each element is carefully engineered to deliver an unparalleled sound experience that brings music to life, making it a must-consider option for anyone looking to elevate their listening experience.
