Product description
Shipping & Returns

The VAF Signature i93 is an Australian icon. Originally developed in 1997, it is regarded as one of the finest and most accurate loudspeakers in the world, and was even used by Sony/Philips to launch the SACD format in Australia at the Sydney Opera House.  The newest generation is the biggest revamp in decades, every single detail was painstakingly worked over to extract new levels of performance and realism previously never thought possible. 

SPEAKERS THAT TELL THE TRUTH.

The bass detail and precision is raised to a new level, an impressive feat given Rolling Stone had already described the i93 as, "The ultimate in high fidelity with the best bass in the world". The VAF Signature i93 MKV is one of the few production non-active loudspeakers truly able to reproduce accurate and low-distortion bass to 20Hz. In many rooms they will reproduce bass down to 17Hz at only -6dB.

Overall music presentation is smooth, balanced and incredibly detailed, with the speed and accuracy VAF is known for. A new from the ground up crossover design provides pinpoint, three-dimensional imaging with a large soundstage that puts you firmly in the front row of the musical performance.

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION | WHERE ART AND SCIENCE MEET. 

The VAF Signature i93 MKV has a newly developed one-piece front baffle and is beautifully crafted to the highest standard in finely finished genuine timber veneers, with the option of selecting a painted gloss cabinet in any colour you choose.

The VAF Signature i93 MKV is at home in the highest fidelity stereo system. Uniformity of design process across the entire VAF Signature Series also ensures that other VAF Signature Series models can be used in harmony with the VAF Signature i93 to create a multi-channel surround sound theatre system without peer.

Featuring a time-aligned vertically symmetrical driver array, the VAF Signature i93 MKV is a floor standing five driver, three way loudspeaker. Each cabinet contains two 220mm magnesium alloy cone woofers and two 130mm magnesium alloy cone midrange drivers, symmetrically arrayed about a single 25mm double chamber magnesium alloy dome tweeter.

THE WOOFER.

The woofer and midrange driver cones are precisely and individually machined from forged magnesium alloy. Both the woofers and the midrange drivers have low distortion, long linear throw motor systems. They employ precision engineered copper shorting rings, both in front of and behind the forward magnetic pole plate. Solid copper phase correction plugs are embedded within large, double layer voice coils. Copper coated magnetic circuits are also used to eliminate induced eddy currents, so that even these often ignored minor effects do not intrude or contaminate the sound.

THE TWEETER.

The tweeter is also unique, comprising a 25mm pure silver voice coil driving a proprietary magnesium alloy dome backed by its own anti-resonant triple chamber acoustic backing.

TIME ALIGNMENT.

All drivers are time aligned to optimise phase and impulse responses, and therefore maintain exact spatial recreation of the original sound wave front as it was recorded. Time alignment is critical to maintain the correct reproduction of the highly complicated harmonic structures created by musical instruments.

DAMPING.

Optimised internal damping is provided by VAF’s advanced HyperSoft acoustic material, to effectively eliminate internal cabinet reflections and standing waves that interfere with the correct operation of the drive units.

An obvious and integral design feature on every VAF loudspeaker is natural, acoustically absorbent fibre pads. These are fitted around each tweeter and midrange driver to accurately control dispersion and effectively eliminate diffraction effects – another source of distortion and colouration of the reproduction.
Manufactured from only first grade MDF up to 50mm thick, cabinet construction is highly detailed. Precisely fully mitred joints and substantial internal cross-bracing characterise the superior quality of these loudspeakers.

A black or coloured lacquer in satin or piano gloss finish is also offered at extra cost. All of our speakers are made here in Australia, as such custom and bespoke finishes are available on request.
