World Class Reference Speaker Systems for Music and Film

Since sound quality was our primary target, we used live musical instruments fed into the speaker to assess its design target during the final stages of “voicing” the system. When correctly installed, the VR-4 Series will give you many wonderful years of exciting musical reproduction, closer to the emotional truth of the composer, performer, and producer’s intent. In order to fully benefit from the VR-4's powerful magic, please read the following instructions thoroughly. Although the VR series may appear to be conventional speakers, they have been designed to work with the listening room. Being a Room Interactive design, there are certain setup procedures that must be followed. The VR series are engineered to replicate the recording microphone’s signal in reverse, allowing the original soundfield to be recreated in your home. This technology is proprietary and will allow the full emotional content of the original performance to be heard by listeners anywhere in the room. Please see our White Paper for more technical information on the design. As with all high tech designs, there must be a commitment from the user to fully utilize this product. The following instructions will enable you to achieve world-class sound.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please read the following instructions regarding setup, as imaging and bass response must be optimized to your particular room. Since there exists no standard listening room dimensions or reflective/absorptive standards, each setup will be different. A thorough break-in (250 hours) must be conducted in order to realize the full benefits of the VR’s transparency and imaging accuracy, and several experiments with placement must be undertaken. In situations where these instructions are not followed, you may not achieve the ultimate sound the VR-4 can offer. Although the VR series retail at very reasonable price points, they are capable of world- class performance, far exceeding conventional designs. However, optimum performance is only attainable by using the following instructions!

SHIPPING DAMAGE

Please note that the spikes are wrapped up in a cardboard box. Do not install spikes at this time since you will be moving the speakers around extensively while determining the correct place in the room for final installation.

After unpacking the VRs, please note any hidden shipping damage. If you find damage, please notify the freight company who will then send an inspector. Do not discard the boxes or otherwise alter the contents, as the inspector will want to see the damage as you found it. Since Von Schweikert Audio has no control over the shipping companies or their damage claim policies, it is imperative that you follow the instructions from the freight company agent explicitly. Additionally, please retain all packing materials for later use in the event of a move.

Although you will hear noise coming from the center, it will sound as diffuse as the sound coming from the speakers themselves. Even though the speakers will image music when set up like this, the imaging will be diffuse and non-localized.There won’t be enough ‘body’ to the images, and it will be hard to hear space between the instruments.

Although the VR bass systems measure ruler flat in larger rooms that have good dimensional ratios, using both gated sine wave and maximum length sequence FFT signals, smaller rooms tend to have bass anomalies and overloading problems with low frequencies due to the long wavelengths involvedVon Schweikert Audio San Marcos, CASan Marcos, CA Von Schweikert Audio930 Armorlite Drive Von Schweikert Audio LEAD TRAPANCILLARY EQUIPMENT 930 Armorlite Drive930 Armorlite Drive Bright SoundVon Schweikert Audio San Marcos, CA930 Armorlite Drive ROOM ACOUSTICSVon Schweikert Audio San Marcos, CA930 Armorlite Drive SPECIFICATIONSVon Schweikert Audio San Marcos, CA930 Armorlite Drive Weight Midrange/Tweeter 26 lbs each.
