In terms of workmanship, Vibe feels more than comfortable in this price group. In the center of the Kevlar diffuser is a phase-equalizing body (“bullet”) made of plastic. Much less common in our practice are acoustic filtering rings like the ones we can find here. Numerous holes along the length of the ring form the so-called "zero impedance", completely suppressing the radiation. The speaker housing is very seriously muffled. Sufficiently solid magnet (79 x 15 mm) is placed in a rubber case. The grille frame is mounted from below. Lead wires are laid according to the traditional first method. The balanced dome aluminum diaphragm tweeter (14 mm) is very compact and can be mounted inside the midbass voice coil (Vibe speakers are classified as "transformers"). With a "component" installation of tweeters, they can rotate at a significant angle inside the "cups" or surface mount cases. The crossover consists of an electrolytic capacitor and a core coil and is placed in a wire break. The crossover formula will look like 0 + II - midbass is filtered only acoustically.
When listening, the highlighted middle is very noticeable: for example, if the piano is recorded with a good drive, then it becomes intrusive. High sensitivity and praiseworthy localization of instruments are also noted: Vibe <a href=https://depositphotos.com/stock-photos/ali-wong.html">depositphotos</a> have the ability to dissolve in space. Bass relief seemed somewhat dull. The flutes are open and clear, but "small-sized" - in their upper register they sound louder than in their lower ones. Saxophones are also reduced and somewhat harsh. The top is ethereal, but not prone to hiss. The vocal dynamics are compressed, the male vocals lack fullness, and the female one seemed too light and at the same time simplified. But sibilants are natural, and in our acoustics it is appreciated.
Really good one Keeri, this is such an important topic and it's so lovely to hear your clients' success stories! Congrats to all involved :)
