VHD also features the first implementation of Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology as part of the speaker control system's delay circuit. DSD provides a fundamental improvement in audio signal quality over CPM based digital systems by increasing sampling from 96kHz to 6,000kHz and eliminating CPM filtering requirements, say KV2. DSD is a one-bit, direct stream architecture that simplifies and improves digital signal processing.
The VHD speaker system is capable of extreme output levels while generating astonishingly low noise levels providing very high definition and the highest possible dynamic range for a product in its category. The system can be scaled easily to adjust to applications covering 1,000 to 20,000 people with up to 100m of throw. All cabinets feature extensive ergonomic features and flyware for simplified movement, transport and setup, say the company.
Extensive development of transducer technologies has resulted in a system with extremely high sensitivity, output and lower overall weight, say KV2. The VHD compression driver features a Nitrate Vapor Particle Deposition treated titanium 3" dome that provides excellent control and works well beyond 20kHz. Two 8", horn-loaded mid-range speakers feature AIC technology that eliminates induction, lowers distortion and improves the pulse response. All VHD mid-bass and subwoofer drivers boast neodymium motors including two new large format 4" units used in the VHD 4.18 and VHD 2.15.
