Oh Vienna!
Vienna Acoustics of Austria have appointed International Dynamics as the
distributor of their designer range of Aluminium speakers The Schonberg
series of speakers is perfectly suited for today’s flat panel and
projection televisions and are said to be comfortable reproducing classical
music, contemporary pop music or home theatre sound tracks. Due to their
slim design all of Schonberg series can be wall mounted and angled to the
listeners seating position. The Berg and Webern are sold as individual
units and can be mounted horizontally as a centre speaker for home theatre
applications. The Subson subwoofer is not fussy about room placement and
is capable a very deep bass reproduction. The aluminium construction enables
a very slim profile whilst maintaining volume, so important when generating
deep bass notes. To prevent resonances or ringing, rubber coated MDF ribs
isolate the aluminium baffles, creating a very solid resonant free cabinet.
The drivers are created from a combination of polypropylene and KPE - a
super lightweight but very rigid thermo-plastic giving the drivers a translucent
appearance. The silk dome neodymium tweeter is slightly offset from the
drivers for phase correction and features a three-piece construction with
a long throw enabling a simple crossover network for enhanced sonic performance.
