While being two-way systems the V1 range of loudspeakers maintain the Vivid philosophy of pistonic operation throughout the frequency spectrum.

The V1 range is available in two sizes, the smaller V1w, V1h and V1s are best suited to mounting near to boundaries such as a wall or desktop while the larger V1.5 pedestal mount will sit quite happily well away from the walls. 

The V1.5, with its larger 22 litre enclosure, is designed for free field of use and is bonded to a stainless steel reinforced resin pedastal which gracefully complements the curves of the enclosure. Specifically designed for wall mounting, the V1w includes a versatile ball and socket bracket which allows 30 degrees of rotation in any direction. Ideal as a desktop monitor the V1s features a built-in base moulded in solid resin for stability. The horizontally mounted V1h is intended for use as a centre channel in home theatre installations but can also be used in any low headroom situation.

Available in two sizes, the smaller V1 w, V1h and V1s are best suited to mounting near to boundaries such as wall or desktop use while the larger V1.5 pedestal mount will sit quite happily well away from the walls. With its larger 22 litre enclosure, V1.5 is designed for free field use and is bonded to a stainless steel reinforced resin pedestal which gracefully complements the curves of the enclosure while concealing the twin sets of Van den Hul cabling. External connection is made through four high quality WBT terminals discreetly recessed into the heavy cast polyester base.

All V1 models use the C125 aluminium cone driver to handle the range up to 3kHz. Mounted on soft silicone rubber O-rings in the proprietary cast carbon fibre loaded polyester enclosure, structural resonance is kept to a minimum allowing these patented driversto deliver an exceptional mid-range transparency along with an articulate bass common to all Vivid products.

High frequencies are handled by the patented D26 in a variant specially adapted to sit at the apex of a shallow waveguide unique to the V1. Not only does this perfectly time align both frequency ranges but also affords directivity control to match that of the mid-range through crossover, a frequently overlooked issue in two way designs, resulting in the smoothest power response.
