rooms.  The  second  switch  is  the  B-switch.  The  upper  setting  of  the  B-switch 

allows  for  the  greater  bass  content.  The  advantage  of  this  setting  is  that  it 
results  in  the  greatest  power  as  well  as  resolution  of  extended  or  low  bass.  A 

secondary  advantage  of  this  position  is  the  possibility  of  greater  air  and  focus 
around the upper frequencies and vocals.  

 

While each of the switches has minimal effect, if special care has been taken in 
the  overall  physical  setup  of  the  complete  loudspeaker  system,  the  results  can 

be profound. As with all of our other recommendations, always listen and trust 
what you are hearing. 

 

 
 

Listening 

 

After  having  completed  a  thorough  break-in  and  then  completing  a  full  and 
comprehensive setup, listening can and should begin in full earnestness. As with 

the  city  we  live,  design,  work  and  ultimately  build  this  product  in,  Vienna  is 
about  music,  music,  music.  While  most  acclaimed  for  our  classical  music  halls 

and performances, Vienna also has one of the most vibrant jazz scenes as well 

as rock and everything in between. Music comes in all colors and forms. We are 
not  here  to  tell  you  what  to  listen  to.  We  have  done  all  we  can  to  produce  a 

product  that  is  capable  of  reproducing  the  music  that  all  of  us  at  Vienna 
Acoustics listens to. What does that mean? Simply put, all music! Just listen and 

enjoy.
