Bookshelf Loudspeaker

Bringing big movie and music sound to smaller rooms, the Icon V Series VB-15 bookshelf speaker offers the same advanced technology as the line’s floorstanding models only it takes up less space and has more placement options.

The VB-15 employs a 5.25" fiber-com- posite woofer cone that is lightweight, yet powerful. Not only does this reliable low-frequency driver create improved tonal balance and imaging, it also generates amazing dynamics

and deep bass.

Even more remarkable is the VB-15’s all-new, patent-pending Tractrix® Horn- loaded tweeter with XT technology. This exclusive design equalizes the speed of sound waves from the horn and smoothes the dispersion pattern.

In order to maintain an even transition between drivers, the VB-15 employs a high-definition, precision-voiced crossover for tighter tolerance and higher accuracy—in other words, a “front

and center” soundstage.

The VB-15’s compact and stylish black cabinet with a furniture-grade wood veneer top cap is internally braced for tight, natural bass. The removable top grille opens up the rich, high tones, while the durable fixed grille at the bottom protects the woofer from damage.
