109dB 1w/1m. Running at close to 100% efficiency on any voltage from 160 to 270 Volts, the amplifier for the VHD4.21 is a revolution in electronic engineering, utilising a huge bank of capacitors as a power store. This unique and innovative new power management system enables the onboard amplifier to deliver peak output levels of 14 kW, whilst operating at a modest constant power consumption of 3.5 kW...
VHD4.21 · Overview Acoustic Components The VHD4.21's woofer technology is based around high efficiency, high power woofer designs. The device features high temperature polymide voice coil assemblies that undergo multiple baking and curing processes as well as advanced magnetic structures with complex cooling systems. The woofer cones have been specially developed to withstand the demanding environment created by the high acoustic loading inside the VHD4.21 chambers.
The VHD4.21 operates safely and without audio discontinuity if the AC voltage stays within the operating window of 160V-260V at 50 or 60Hz. The VHD4.21 operates in 230V mode. The VHD4.21 features constant power source array ensuring the power remains the same in case of power drops.
Each VHD4.21 requires approximately 15 Amps max at 230V AC for proper operation. The VHD4.21 presents a dynamic load to the AC mains, which causes the amount of current to uctuate depending on quiet or loud operating levels. Since dierent cables and circuit breakers heat up at varying rates, it is essential to understand the types of current ratings and how they correspond to circuit breaker and cable specifícations.
