The crossover in\u00a0Virtuoso B<\/b>\u00a0monitors\u00a0gives the user a choice of three sound profiles.\u00a0The manufacturer claims a working range of acoustics from 30 Hz to 30 kHz with a sensitivity of 91.5 dB at 2.83 V at a distance of 1 m. The nominal impedance of the speakers is 4 ohms.<\/p>\n

The cabinet uses a bracing system to provide the necessary rigidity and compensate for the vibrations generated by the speakers.\u00a0Such an inner frame is sheathed with a lightweight material that does not store energy, forming a box.\u00a0The outer case attaches directly to the inner one.\u00a0As a result, the outer and inner boxes work in tandem and effectively dampen vibrations and compensate for each other’s resonances.\u00a0In addition, the thickness of the back and side walls, as well as the front of the case, is different.\u00a0It is claimed that such a case has the same properties as cases made of aluminum or composite materials, but free from the accompanying high-frequency overtones.<\/p>\n

Virtuoso B<\/b>\u00a0crossover\u00a0provides the user with three sound profiles:<\/p>\n

Balanced –<\/b>\u00a0This mode is a sweet spot with the perfect balance of musical clarity and immersive soundstage.<\/p>\n

Moderate –<\/b>\u00a0This mode is ideal for long listening sessions where less dramatic and less detailed sound is required.<\/p>\n

Enhanced –<\/b>\u00a0Enabling this mode will allow the listener to get the highest level of detail.\u00a0This mode is suitable for quiet evening listening sessions when ambient noise is reduced and the micro-details of the music come to life.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Virtuoso B<\/b>\u00a03-way bookshelf monitors\u00a0can be purchased directly from the\u00a0AudioSolutions<\/b>\u00a0manufacturer\u00a0or from your nearest European dealer.\u00a0In the UK, the novelty is offered at a price of\u00a09,500 pounds sterling<\/b>\u00a0per pair.\u00a0A whole range of custom body colors are available as an option, which will cost up\u00a0to 20 percent more<\/b>\u00a0.\u00a0In addition,\u00a0branded speaker stands<\/b>\u00a0can be purchased for the speakers\u00a0, for which you will have to pay an additional\u00a0\u00a3 3,300<\/b>\u00a0per pair.<\/p>\n
