THE
ALIGNED DYNAMIC DESIGN The Model One uses the proven Vandersteen Aligned Dynamic
Design to optimize the dispersion and transient accuracy of the drivers while
maintaining the input signal's time and phase integrity. The drivers, their
positioning and their associated minimum baffles were each developed with the
aid of FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) computer analysis to minimize
diffraction, cone break-up, multi-driver interference and out-of-band phase
irregularities. The construction, alignment and positioning of the drivers
allow a point-source wave front and maximize the phase coherence of the
loudspeaker at the listening position. The Aligned Dynamic Design is used for the Model One due
to its many potential advantages:

THE
COMPONENTS
The metal alloy dome tweeter is a dual chamber design to
improve range and linearity. It is critically damped to extend the high
frequencies past audibility without the excessive ringing associated with
open or underdamped metal dome tweeters. The specific alloy used for the dome
was chosen for its superior strength and resistance to break-up compared to
common fabric and plastic domes. The quality materials and advanced features
of the Model One's tweeter result in smooth and accurate response throughout
the audible range. The crossover of the Model One is a transient-perfect,
first-order network designed to preserve the phase integrity of the original
sound. It is compensated to allow the drivers to operate in absolute phase
with each other while maintaining flat amplitude response. This gives the
Model One more precise imaging and a more stable soundstage than conventional
two-way speakers using out-of-phase drivers. The crossover's computer grade
components, including film capacitors in the signal path, are hand soldered
on a double-sided, plated-through PC board for enhanced consistency and
reliability. The baffles holding the drivers on the Model One are as
small as possible to eliminate virtually all of the early reflections that
affect dynamic speakers with conventional flat or low diffraction baffles. Reducing
both early reflections and edge diffraction improves imaging and enhances the
openness and transparency of the speaker. The enclosure of the Model One is
constructed of MDF, a pressure-formed material that effectively resists
vibration and controls cabinet resonances. Broad spectrum, low-Q resonances
are controlled so as to cancel rather than become additive. To insure consistency, each speaker is FFT analyzed for
correct response and performance compared to a model reference prior to
leaving the factory. The Model One combines superior components, innovative
engineering and quality construction for exemplary performance and
unparalleled value. |

DIMENSIONAL
PURITY
This dimensional purity is the essence of the Model Ones.
It allows them to recreate the music's original scope and passion. You hear
deeper into the music and better understand the feelings forming its
foundation. You become more involved in the music as its structure is
revealed with increased clarity and realism. At Vandersteen Audio, we believe that these qualities are
fundamental to your enjoyment of your music. We are pleased to have embodied
these qualities in a speaker whose simple, but elegant, physical presence
complements the decor of your listening room. We are devoted to continue
building distinguished loudspeakers that make a statement about the
importance of music in your life. |
