Virtual HiFi Viper Monitor – Printed Loudspeakers

Polish company Virtual HiFi has announced its first speaker systems – Virtual HiFi Viper Monitor, expanding the company’s direction in the field of 3D printing of audio products. Virtual HiFi Viper Monitor is a compact bookshelf speaker system that boasts a very wide frequency response (35 Hz – 31000 Hz). The speakers are equipped with a Mundorf dipole-type AMT tweeter, a Dayton Audio Epique midrange/lowrange driver with a 150 mm carbon fiber diffuser, a 14 mm stroke, and have a sensitivity of 83 dB at an impedance of 4 ohms. The tweeter is mechanically decoupled using a 3D-printed TPU connector. Given the performance characteristics, the speakers will require a fairly powerful amplification of 200 watts.

The Virtual HiFi Viper Monitor uses a 3D printed PETG enclosure with 10mm thick walls in a pyramid shape, which reduces resonances due to its greater rigidity compared to traditional MDF or plywood. Each enclosure takes over 120 hours to manufacture.

The internal wiring is Duelund cable (tinned copper), and the crossover uses Mundorf MCap EVO capacitors, MResist Supreme resistors and wax-impregnated tinned litz coils. The rear panel is made of 6mm thick stainless steel and is equipped with WBT Nextgen silver terminals.

For simplified coupling with a subwoofer (if additional bass extension is required), a built-in 80 Hz high pass filter is provided. Virtual HiFi Viper Monitor is available now for sale at a price of 6,900 euros.
