Compact Design
Accommodating size with no performance impairment that
grants dazzling sound in any listening environment.
All these features synthesize Verity Audio’s commitment for
bringing the music back to its essence: Pure and exalted
emotions.
Monitor
As a high-performance monitor, the Parsifal will give
outstanding results with a wide variety of equipment. It is
designed to offer its full performance in moderate-size rooms
or to be used as professional near-field monitors for recording
studios. Its monitor design renders a highly accurate image
precision, an amazing blend of lightning speed and sweetness
plus a cathedral soundstage.
The unique custom-made midrange-woofer employed in the
Parsifal Monitor, offers coloration-free reproduction that
extends from bass-frequencies up to the low-treble range. Its
acceleration factor is twice as fast as what is currently found on
standard drivers of that size. It offers an extremely low level of
distortion. The midrange to tweeter 5,500 Hz crossover point
makes the whole system incredibly coherent. These speed,
distortion and coherence characteristics explain the acclaimed
blend of sweetness and details that is normally so hard to
achieve. It recreates the voice qualities that you only find in
ribbon or electrostatic loudspeakers.
The tweeter has been specifically designed to give extended,
natural and resonance-free reproduction of the harmonic
content of all musical instruments. These units are integrated
with a very carefully designed crossover that allows each driver
to deliver its full potential. Moreover, all components are
carefully computer-matched and indexed to enable optimum
sound-staging performance.
Whenever more bottom-end energy is desired or higher power
level is required, the Parsifal Woofer Module can be added. It
offers an extended performance that allows a playback of large
orchestral recordings.
Woofer
The modest size of your new Parsifal is of great distinction and
authority. The Parsifal ought to be prized as a grand speaker
molded in a compact enclosure. Verity Audio ambition was to
design a small footprint loudspeaker that yields a dynamic
range and a low-frequency content equivalent to the most
imposing and massive high-end loudspeakers, and that, with
refined frequency coherency. To achieve this, Verity Audio
developed a proprietary state-of-the-art woofer driver that
allows an unparalleled headroom for a given cone diameter.
This unique custom-made woofer, offers coloration-free bass
reproduction from low-bass to low-midrange. Its seamless
integration with the very transparent Parsifal Monitor gives a
natural and resonance-free musical reproduction.
All components used are carefully computer-matched and
indexed to enable optimum sound-staging performance.
To realize their full potential, they should be associated with
the finest ancillary equipment. When set up properly, the
Parsifal Woofer offers a unique blend of smoothness, accuracy,
dynamic and bass performance yielding a very enjoyable
musical experience for years to come.
When used with the high-performance Parsifal Monitors, the
Woofer modules gives outstanding results with a wide variety
of music. They offer none compromised performance in mid-
size listening rooms, proposing an image and a soundstage
usually associated with the best state-of-the-art monitors but
with the bass performance of large floor-standing units. Their
dynamic range can play large orchestral recordings at realistic
playback levels. The monitor-woofer arrangement will give
plenty of dynamic and bass extension, even in quite large
rooms. The Parsifal system is extremely flexible, upgradable
and capable of interfacing with every listening environment.
