VMS 1

Sold by pairs and designed for both speech and music nearfield applications, the 100-Watt VMS 1 utilises monitor-grade 5" low frequency and 1" high frequency driver for extended frequency range, low distortion, and exceptional long-term reliability. Thanks to the speaker’s versatile and compact design, the VMS 1 is ideally suited for a wide range of applications, including stereo and surround setups, home recording studios, audio and video production, as well as fixed-installation sound systems for restaurants and bars, theme parks, hotels, retail stores and houses of worship.

Superb Performance

The VMS 1 design includes custom, monitor-grade 5" low-frequency and 1" high-frequency drivers, in an enclosure robust enough for commercial applications. The phase-optimized and high-precision crossover delivers highly accurate and linear response, along with built-in auto-overload protection that prevents tweeter damage from excessive power surges. This configuration handles up to 100 Watts to deliver exceptional dynamics, realism, and enhanced intelligibility, all in a compact and highly-efficient system that is well-suited to a wide range of amplifier options – including entry-level amplifiers. 

Attractive and Easy to Install

The highly-durable and scuff-resistant ABS enclosure features a matte-black painted finish, along with an aesthetically-pleasing, powder-coated perforated steel grille and seamless rubber accents, all of which helps VMS 1 blend beautifully into any décor. Setting up is quick and easy thanks to the included colour-matched mounting bracket and spring terminals, or VMS 1 can simply be used as bookshelf speakers. For more complex installed-sound applications, the VMS 1 is designed with multiple internal rigging points and universal mounting points for optional industry-standard brackets.
