To mark our 10th anniversary of promoting and delivering VMPS in Europe, we developed completely new website which offers easier navigation and browsing through extensive material our pages have. This is of course only a first step in continuous work of covering developments from manufacturer in El Sobrante, California. In 2002, some of those who praised Brian Cheney’s… success with Best of Show Award for RM40s also said that however original RM40 was good this is certainly not the best he can do. In 2012, we can easily see how in past ten years VMPS speakers were both refined and reinvented a couple of times.
We are introducing the new generation of Constant Directivity Wave Guides, as defined by our U.S. Patent. The new guides are simple add ons that attach directly to the mid and tweeter panels. They are lightweight, lack baffles, are inexpensive, eliminate treble rolloff, exhibit less than 1dB insertion loss, and may be used with planar drivers other than our own, such as DG Neo 8 and Neo 10, Hi-Vi, and EMIM’s. The waveguides can be used on dome tweeters and ribbon supertweeters, but are not designed for cone midranges. No crossover...
read moreAnyone who red 2009 CES reports about our live vs recorded demonstration at the Zeus Ballroom could learn much about the challenges we faced. This was new territory and many of my assumptions coming in proved incorrect. But, that’s why you go exploring in the first place–it’s the Undiscovered Country, an audio frontier. What struck me immediately about our demo is, although we could EQ in the frequency domain, adjust delays, treat the room, and have good equipment. we were not reproducing the dispersion patterns of live...
read moreCheck the Review section on Ambience tweeters. The openness and air that a rear facing tweeter can bring to the sound is well known. To meet those preferences, we now offer the Ambience Add-on Tweeter. This is an add-on usable with all our speakers (except the RMV60 and RM50) that is freestanding and complete with crossover and user-adjustable level control. This can stand on top of a speaker or be attached to the back baffle with double-sided tape. It consists of our spiral ribbon tweeter with a 5kHz xover built-in mounted in a black MDF...
read moreSDE stands for Special Digital Edition, meaning that the largest part of an analogue passive crossover is replaced with digital active crossover. We now offer all of our speakers also in SDE configuration, which requires bi-amping. Active crossover unit (Behringer DCX 2496) can handle six channels, so it can be also used for any pair of main speakers together with any pair of our subwoofers. Behringer DCX is available in stock or modified...

read moreOur new 6.5″ woofer, found in the RM 30, 626R and RM V60 speaker systems, is an evolutionary development of a driver we first built 5 years ago. It is a true lowbass, not a midbass, and as such features a four-layer 1.5″ voicecoil, 7 mm of Xmax, a woven carbon fiber cone with natural rubber surround, 40oz magnet, and 250W of power handling. It is quite simply the finest quality, and best sounding, such loudspeaker ever produced. Made in...
read moreRM40 in MLS Piano Ebony (with piano black CDWG) The finish has a shimmering, tactile, liquid quality quite unlike the “under glass” look of many coats of clear gloss lacquer over veneer. You expect ripples when you touch it. The finish is achieved by applying glaze over the satin finish and hand-buffing for 2 hours. RM30 in MLS Piano Rosewood (with matching rosewood...
