The VCC-5 Video Center Channel Dialog Speaker

is an integral part of a home audio/video system

where it helps localize dialog and other movie

sounds at the TV screen. The VCC-5 is the product

of extensive research into the qualities required for

realistic movie sound reproduction. The engineer-

ing, construction and materials of the VCC-5 far ex-

ceed conventional industry standards and result in a

level of performance unmatched by other center

channel dialog speakers.

The VCC-5 is a phase coherent design intended to

be used in a high-quality audio/video surround sys-

tem in combination with main speakers that have ac-

curate frequency response and phase response.

Whether you chose Vandersteen Audio main speak-

ers or others with the proper qualities, the seamless

blend with the VCC-5 will insure maximum intelli-

gibility on dialog and superior realism on music and

sound effects.

The VCC-5’s innovative, aligned triaxial design

eliminates lobing effects and allows the VCC-5 to

be placed at any height above or below the screen

while maintaining consistent sound throughout the

listening area. Its adjustable proximity compensa-

tion helps counter the effects of placement in a cabi-

net or near a wall and insures optimum performance

in any environment. Its pleasing appearance allows

the VCC-5 to visually complement your main

speakers and the décor of your home.
