Dear AR Customer,

Congratulations! Your new AR loudspeakers are an outstanding home hi-fi product that will give you many years of reliable service. The superlative quality of AR products is renowned all over the world and meets or exceeds all official audio standards.

In order to avoid possible errors or damage please take the time to study the following important information before installing your new speakers.

Connecting your AR speakers

Strip the insulation from the connection cable ends and twist the ends tightly or tin them with solder. Then insert the ends in the connection terminals and secure them with the terminal screws.

Caution: Take care to ensure that the speaker cables are connected with the correct polarity!

Connect the negative amplifier output terminal (black) to the negative connection terminal of the AR speaker (also black). Proceed in the same way to connect the positive terminals, which are normally red. Standard speaker connection cables normally have a colored marking or indentation in the surface of the insulation to distinguish the two leads from one another.

Choosing the best position for your AR speakers

The optimum listening position is at the tip of the so-called “stereo triangle” (Pg. 11, Fig 1). The equilibrium between the right and left stereo channels is best in this position, providing the most balanced and realistic sound reproduction.

Your AR speakers will operate most efficiently when they are located in parts of the room with “hard” acoustics, i.e., areas including hard, smooth surfaces such as walls and wooden furniture. The speakers should radiate the sound from this hard area into the “softer” parts of the room containing sound- absorbing elements such as upholstered furniture, carpets and so on.

Make sure that there are no sound-absorbing obstacles between the speakers and your listening position, as this will muffle the sound and impair your listening pleasure.

Your AR VP Series speakers are fully shielded for use in audio/video applications. This allows you to place any of the speakers next to the television without affecting picture quality. If you are using other speakers, be sure to locate them at least 3 feet away from the television to avoid interference to the set’s picture (Pg. 11, Fig. 2).

Some other AR speakers are also shielded. Please see page 1 to check if your speaker(s) are video shielded before placing them near a television. The speakers should be installed at least 1 foot away from the side walls (Pg. 11, Fig. 2) and 8 inches from the rear wall. This prevents exaggerated “booming” bass and helps to produce more balanced, detailed sound reproduction.

If possible, bookshelf speakers should be installed so that the tweeters are on the same level as the listener’s ears. If you install the speakers in a wall unit, take care to ensure that the fronts of the speakers are flush with the front of the wall unit.

VP Series specifications

Acoustic Research (AR) has long been known for its commitment to delivering high-quality audio products, and the VP Series is no exception. The VP Series of speakers is designed for both audiophiles and casual listeners, offering a fine blend of performance, flexibility, and aesthetic appeal. In this article, we will explore the main features, technologies, and characteristics that define the VP Series.

One of the standout features of the AR VP Series is its advanced driver technology. The series incorporates custom-designed woofers and tweeters that work in tandem to produce a balanced and rich sound. The woofers are engineered with high excursion capabilities, ensuring deep, impactful bass response, while the tweeters provide crisp and clear highs. This combination results in an immersive listening experience across a variety of musical genres.

The enclosure design of the VP Series speakers plays a crucial role in sound performance. Constructed from high-quality MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), these cabinets are meticulously crafted to minimize resonance and distortion. The interior is often damped with special acoustic materials that further enhance sound quality, allowing for greater clarity and detail in musical playback.

Another defining characteristic of the VP Series is its versatility. The speakers are designed for both home theater and music listening setups, making them suitable for various applications. They feature multiple connectivity options, including traditional speaker wire inputs and compatibility with modern receivers, allowing users to seamlessly integrate them into their existing audio systems.

In terms of aesthetics, the VP Series does not disappoint. The speakers are available in elegant finishes that can complement any home decor. The sleek design, combined with carefully selected color options, ensures that they can blend in with or stand out from their surroundings, appealing to a wide range of personal styles.

Moreover, the VP Series includes technologies such as precision-tuned crossovers that optimize frequency distribution, allowing each driver to perform at its best. The crossovers are designed to ensure an ideal phase alignment, resulting in a cohesive sound stage that enhances the overall listening experience.

In conclusion, the Acoustic Research VP Series embodies a commitment to quality sound, innovative technology, and contemporary design. With its advanced driver setups, robust cabinet construction, versatile connectivity, and elegant aesthetics, the VP Series stands out as an excellent choice for anyone looking to elevate their audio experience, whether at home or in a dedicated listening environment.
