VPE Electrodynamics Model 1B Small Dipole Subwoofer

VPE Electrodynamics Provides the Immersive Experience You Want with Two Channels Using 21st Century DSP Technology and Low Diffraction Acoustics. We know the true sound of live music and it influences everything we do. As a result, VPE Electrodynamics designs and builds 21st Century DSP-enabled subwoofer systems that perform like no other. Our subwoofers do what a subwoofer SHOULD do; add weight, power, and true TONE and TIMBRE to the music, not just a rumble in the bottom. Fast, articulate, easy to place, and with custom finishes that can make them a part of your environment… no compromise at a real world price, and all designed and manufactured in the USA!

The Model 1B owes its existence to the writings of two audio legends – Siegfried Linkwitz and Nelson Pass, and the introduction of powerful 10” drivers and DSP-controlled amplification. The Model 1B is a slot-loaded open baffle (SLOB) design, which provides a supercardioid polar pattern with 3dB more output to the front than H-type open baffle designs.

The Model 1B provides a good fit electrically, acoustically, and aesthetically for your small dipole speakers such as the Magnepan LRS+ and 0.7i, and Quad ESL’s (57, 63, 28XX and 29XX Series), as well as small mini-monitors mounted on stands, including the Technics CX700 powered speakers, the Technics C600 speakers, the KEF LS 50 Meta and Wireless speakers and the many LS 3/5a BBC mini-monitors, from Rogers, Chartwell, Spendor and others.

The Model 1B is constructed of Baltic Birch 3⁄4” 12-ply Plywood and is offered with a painted finish. The top of the cabinet, and left and right sides, and the back are painted in a durable satin black 2-part epoxy cabinet paint.

Bespoke finishes to match your main speakers or your furniture are available at nominal cost upon your request.

Built to order.
