Thank you for your purchase of the Vandersteen Model lCi.
Your new speakers will provide many years of trouble-free, high-
performance sound reproduction and thousands of hours of quality
entertainment.
Due to the advanced design and features of the Model ICi,
we recommend that you read this entire manual before
connecting or using your new loudspeakers.
The Vandersteen Audio Model 1Ci is a floor-standing, high-performance loudspeaker developed and refined by twenty
years of advanced research into cost-effective, dynamic loudspeaker design. The Model 1Ci uses the proven Vandersteen
Aligned Dynamic Design to optimize the dispersion and accuracy of the drivers while maintaining the input signal's time
and phase integrity. The drivers, their positioning, and their minimum-sized baffles were each developed with the aid of
the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) computer analysis to minimize diffraction, cone break-up, multi-driver interference, and
out of band phase irregularities. The alignment and positioning of the drivers allow a point-source wave afront and
maximize the phase coherence of the loudspeaker throughout the listening area.
The Model 1Ci is a worthy addition to any quality music or home theater system. The speaker's engineering, construction,
and materials far exceed conventional industry standards and contribute unmatched performance even by larger and more
costly designs. The stable impedance characteristics assure complete compatibility with any amplifier or receiver in any
system. The full-range frequency response enables the speaker to mate with a matching high-quality subwoofer
seamlessly. The aesthetically pleasing appearance, incorporating an acoustically transparent, 360-degree wrap-around
grille cloth, a wood bottom, and an audibly vented wood top, allows the Model 1Ci to compliment the décor of your
home.
The Vandersteen Model 1Ci is designed and built in a solar-powered factory in the United States of America.
