Vandersteen drivers…
Perfect-Piston™ driver diaphragms. Vandersteen has revolutionized loudspeaker design by combining structural engineering and materialtechnology to create diaphragms that act as perfect pistons throughout their operating
ranges and beyond. The unique diaphragm material used to make Vandersteen Perfect Piston™ Drivers marries carbon fi ber and balsa wood in a unique 3-layer confi guration with the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio available and allows all direct-radiating drivers to utilize diaphragms made from the same materials.

Fusion™ Subwoofers. The unique dual-motor, push-pull subwoofers two
curvilinear aluminum cones sandwiched together with an exotic honeycomb
material built-in to Vandersteen Model 7 loudspeakers are unlike anything else on the market. They don’t simply “augment” bass. They extend the low frequency response of the speakers while reducing distortion in the midrange.
Bass response and harmonic response are fused together in a seamless
blend maintaining full-range amplitude linearity and time- and phase-response.

Stealth™ Enclosures. The structure or body of a musical instrument, like
a piano, violin or guitar, is designed to add rich and pleasing resonances
to the sound of the strings. Any sound created by the structure of
a loudspeaker is distortion so all resonances should be eliminated.

Vandersteen Stealth™ enclosures eliminate these distortions by
virtually eliminating resonances, minimizing baffl e dimensions and
covering the remaining surfaces with non-refl ective materials, and
carefully contouring all edges. Vandersteen speaker enclosures are acoustically inert. All structural panels are made from proprietary constrained-layer-damped materials and heavily braced. Vandersteen Model 7 speakers have additional
carbon fi ber layers applied inside and out with a high-pressure, high-temperature autoclave.

Cohesive by design…
Creating and integrating the fi nest components is a start, but not good
enough. Equally important is the abilty for those components to perform
as desgned in the presence of other elements – Vandersteen loudspeakers
have established the ability to perform with an organic ease and
pace, with natural timbre and tonality, without cmpromise.

400-watt amplifier
In each Model 7, Vandersteen integrates an ultra-high-current 400-
watt amplifi er with power-factorcorrected, regulated power supply.
The Eleven-band bass equalization, plus master level control, along
with Adjustable“Q”™ allow bass response to be perfectly tailored
to a myriad of speaker positions in a variety of rooms. Vandersteen’s
phase coherent bass EQ is unique because it affects low frequencies
only; there is no processing in the signal path above bass frequencies
all within the analog domain.
