HIGH VELOCITY ARRAY

High Velocity Array uses multiple small drivers rather than fewer large drivers, and there are several benefits to this approach. The first benefit is visual, resulting in a sleek, slim cabinet design, which means less visual intru- sion. Sonically, a slimmer cabinet means less diffraction- (sound bouncing off of a wide speaker’s face), and this gives a cleaner sound. Multiple small drivers increases the driver-to-motor structure ratio, which yields more accurate audio reproduction, quicker transient response and greater detail. Smaller drivers also have better dis- persion characteristics then larger drivers; better dispersion creates a larger sweet spot and more spectacular imaging. And finally, by spreading the amplifier power over multiple components instead of just one single component, the speaker can handle more power, move more air and play louder while maintaining reliability. High Velocity Array helps produce surprisingly huge sound in a slender speaker design such as the VM Series.
