The design philosophy behind Vivid Audio Kaya S12
True to Vivid Audio, an inordinate engineering effort was invested to completely remove cabinet resonances in a two-way bookshelf form factor. The result we believe is a world first. The following images show the results we are so excited about:
The first result was the development of the Axisymmetric absorber, full benefits and no distortion, unfortunately this would result in a problem with the cabinet design.
The solution was the development of the distorted axisymmetric absorber.
The Omni ABSORBER (patented) is a development from the VENTED EXPONENTIALLY TAPERING cabinet developed for GIYA in 2007. The application of this technology in bookshelf form not only addresses vertical modes within the cabinet, but modes in ALL PLANES resulting in the cleanest presentation available today!
