Description
The Lynnfield VR-MX surround speaker delivers the wide frequency response, high power-handling
and placement flexibility required by the finest home theater systems. Its unique driver
complement creates an enveloping sense of surround sound, simulating the multiple surround
speakers found in a quality movie theater.
The VR-MX is a high output, wide dispersion surround speaker. It provides the rear channel
surround sound effects with Dolby

decoding electronics.
The VR-MX may be placed on a shelf or mounted on a wall or ceiling using the supplied template,
mounting hardware and bracket. Gold-plated five-way binding posts allow the connection of
virtually any speaker cable. Its unique design allows for it to be used to create a seemingly larger
or more intimate acoustic space, depending upon how it is oriented relative to the listening space.
Direct vs. Diffused Sound Pattern
The VR-MX represents a product evolution based upon our considerable experience with direct
and diffused radiating surround speakers. The surround channels from a movie soundtrack are
designed to help the moviemaker transform the theater into the environment that is being
portrayed on the screen. Since a movie theater is a relatively large space, several surround
speakers are placed along the theater’s walls. If you would like your listening room to sound more
like a larger acoustic space and more like a movie theater or live music performance venue, then
the VR-MX should be placed so that the speakers’ passive radiators acoustically interact with most
