Since sound quality was our primary target, we used live musical instruments fed into
the speaker to assess its design target during the final stages of “voicing” the system.
When correctly installed, the VR-4 Series will give you many wonderful years of
exciting musical reproduction, closer to the emotional truth of the composer, performer,
and producer’s intent. In order to fully benefit from the VR-4's powerful magic, please
read the following instructions thoroughly. Although the VR series may appear to be
conventional speakers, they have been designed to work with the listening room. Being a
Room Interactive design, there are certain setup procedures that must be followed. The
VR series are engineered to replicate the recording microphone’s signal in reverse,
allowing the original soundfield to be recreated in your home. This technology is
proprietary and will allow the full emotional content of the original performance to be
heard by listeners anywhere in the room. Please see our White Paper for more technical
information on the design. As with all high tech designs, there must be a commitment
from the user to fully utilize this product. The following instructions will enable you to
achieve world-class sound.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please read the following instructions regarding setup, as
imaging and bass response must be optimized to your particular room. Since there exists
no standard listening room dimensions or reflective/absorptive standards, each setup
will be different. A thorough break-in (250 hours) must be conducted in order to realize
the full benefits of the VR’s transparency and imaging accuracy, and several
experiments with placement must be undertaken. In situations where these instructions
are not followed, you may not achieve the ultimate sound the VR-4 can offer. Although
the VR series retail at very reasonable price points, they are capable of world- class
performance, far exceeding conventional designs. However, optimum performance is
only attainable by using the following instructions!
SHIPPING DAMAGE
Please note that the spikes are wrapped up in a cardboard box. Do not install spikes at
this time since you will be moving the speakers around extensively while determining the
correct place in the room for final installation.
After unpacking the VRs, please note any hidden shipping damage. If you find damage,
please notify the freight company who will then send an inspector. Do not discard the
boxes or otherwise alter the contents, as the inspector will want to see the damage as
you found it. Since Von Schweikert Audio has no control over the shipping companies
or their damage claim policies, it is imperative that you follow the instructions from the
freight company agent explicitly. Additionally, please retain all packing materials for
later use in the event of a move.
