3A SIGNATURE

3avandersteenThe application and integration of advanced Vandersteen Model Five technology and components set the 3A Signature apart from the standard Model 3A. The 3A Signature features Model Five grade crossover components and hand-tuned compensation networks that improve the speaker's linearity and phase accuracy

The tweeter in the 3A Signature is the same type used in the Model Five and contributes to the speaker's improved definition and transparency. Like other Vandersteen Signature models, all the drivers are hand selected after extensive testing and carefully matched to each other. The enhanced stability of the image and soundstage is obvious on high-quality recordings.

Listening to 3A Signatures is an enlightening experience. Sounding more like Model Fives than Model 3As, the 3A Signatures reveal inner details of music and movies with incredible clarity. They reproduce the nuances, background sounds, and minute effects that convey the essence and emotion of the music or movie.

Richard Vandersteen's signature on the input plate is a reminder that the 3A Signature is the best Vandersteen Model 3 series loudspeaker ever built.

Vandersteen Audio is pleased to announce a new loudspeaker in the Model 2 series; the Model 2Ce Signature. The 2Ce Signature continues the Model 2’s long tradition of offering the superb performance and value in a speaker that is always true to both science and music. The 2Ce Signature is more transparent and conveys spatial information better than any previous Model 2 series loudspeaker. The low frequencies are tighter and more detailed. The highs are cleaner and lower in distortion. With the addition of the 2Ce Signature, the Model 2 series reaches a new pinnacle of performance and musicality.

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.
