Product Description
Clear, Low-Distortion Audio with Fast-Attacking Bass
The VM-80 is built around an 8" aramid fiber woofer and 1" dome tweeter in a 2-way active configuration. The lightweight yet rigid aramid cone is 30% lighter than conventional paper-lined cones, resulting in tighter bass response and enhanced low-mid punch.
The integrated Vortex Bass Accelerator improves airflow through the bass reflex port, minimizing vibration and ensuring controlled, tight low-end performance.
With a frequency range of 34 Hz – 36 kHz and maximum SPL of 115 dB, the VM-80 delivers powerful, full-range sound suitable for both studio monitoring and DJ playback.
High-Quality Components & Class D Amplification
Every VM series speaker features a Class D amplifier with 96 kHz DSP, delivering:
-
Wide-bandwidth audio reproduction
-
Low distortion at high output levels
-
High-energy performance with efficient power handling
The 4 mm thick rigid aluminum hexagonal front baffle suppresses resonance and vibration, ensuring authentic sound reproduction true to the original source material.
Constant Directivity Horn
The VM-80’s constant directivity horn provides:
-
Broad, uniform listening area
-
Smooth crossover between woofer and tweeter
-
Controlled mid and high-frequency dispersion
-
Natural, balanced sound reproduction
The horn design works in conjunction with the woofer edge geometry for seamless frequency integration.
DSP Control – Shape Your Sound for Any Room
All VM series monitors are voiced flat by default to ensure accurate monitoring. The VM-80 includes two rear-panel EQ knobs — Low EQ and High EQ — each with 4 selectable positions, providing 16 total EQ combinations.
