C1 specifications

Vivid Audio C1 is a high-performance loudspeaker that exemplifies the brand's commitment to precision engineering and exceptional sound quality. Designed by renowned acoustician Laurence Dickie, the C1 stands out not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its innovative technologies and features that elevate the listening experience.

One of the main features of the Vivid Audio C1 is its unique beryllium tweeter. This lightweight yet incredibly stiff material provides a wide frequency range and delivers remarkable detail and clarity, especially in the high frequencies. The beryllium tweeter ensures a rapid response time, resulting in a more responsive and dynamic sound that can bring recordings to life.

Another standout characteristic of the C1 is its proprietary bass driver. The driver utilizes a patented technology called "Cone Driver Geometry," which ensures that the cone maintains its shape under various frequencies, minimizing distortion and maximizing efficiency. This innovative design results in deep, articulate bass that can fill a room without overwhelming the listener.

The cabinet of the Vivid Audio C1 is constructed from a unique composite material that combines various densities to reduce resonances and vibrations. The curvilinear shape of the cabinet not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also contributes to reducing standing waves, allowing for a more accurate reproduction of sound. The elegant design, available in various finishes, makes the C1 a striking addition to any audio setup.

In terms of connectivity, the C1 is equipped with high-quality binding posts, allowing for secure connections with a range of amplifiers. Its impedance is designed to ensure compatibility with a variety of audio sources, making it a versatile choice for audiophiles.

The C1's compact size does not compromise its performance. Whether used in small or larger spaces, the speaker delivers a balanced and immersive audio experience. Its wide dispersion pattern means that listeners can enjoy consistent sound quality from different listening positions, a feature that enhances the overall experience for multiple listeners.

Overall, Vivid Audio C1 combines cutting-edge technology with exquisite craftsmanship, offering enthusiasts a speaker that not only looks stunning but also performs at an exceptional level. Its ability to reproduce music with remarkable detail, clarity, and depth makes it an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a top-tier audio component.
