Venus D6 - High End 2-way bookshelf speaker 

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY OF VENUS D6

Venus Mk6 is the 6th generation of our best selling Venus line. In terms of sound, it follows our basic philosophy: FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION. The goal we set and achieved was to present an uncompromisingly powerful, linear and clean sound, minimally dependent on room acoustics. Each of Venus Mk6's main parts has its contribution to its awesome sound: 
· Oval shaped enclosure: The oval shape is perfect for loudspeaker enclosures. It eliminates any standing waves and resonances. Innovative Individual Mold Technology used.
· Coaxially mounted speakers: For a more coherent and uniform sound.
· Leather covered suspension absorbing pad No vibration transfer to the shelf.

 The shape of the enclosure plays a vital role in loudspeaker performance. The movement of the speaker membrane causes a very complex mixture of sound waves in terms of frequency, amplitude, phase etc. If the shape is rectangular with parallel walls, at certain frequencies two bad things may happen: firstly, the walls will start to vibrate due to interference and will act as additional speakers, but without any control. So the general sound will be an unpredictable mixture of the sound coming from the speakers and from the enclosure’s walls. Second, standing waves will occur inside the cabinet, which will increase enormously certain frequencies and will decrease others. Fortunately, there is a shape which prevents both of these phenomena. That shape is oval.
