VCC-5 Center Channel Speaker

Description

Vandersteen Audio VCC-5 Center Channel Speaker

The VCC-5 is a three-way design based on the VCC- 1, but with the addition of two (2) 6.5-inch cast-basket woofers. These woofers are internally mounted and cross over at 150Hz to the coaxial system, which has a crossover frequency of 3500Hz. A true “triaxial” output is achieved by channeling bass around the midrange-tweeter coaxial array. This eliminates the severe comb filter lobing produced by horizontally displaced drivers. The result is reference-level performance, both in measurement and sound, regardless of off-axis perspective above, below or to the right or left of the speaker. While not an easy design goal to meet, we feel this property is mandatory for a proper center speaker and it is found in all of our VCC’s. The VCC- 5 Reference preserves the coherence of the VCC-1 Signature and VCC-2 while broadening frequency extension, lowering distortion and increasing power handling. The VCC-5 Reference Center was developed for use with Vandersteen’s Quatro Wood CT, Model 5A Carbon and Model Seven speakers in high-performance multi-channel systems.
