Paraflex Cabinets
Explore precision-engineered Paraflex cabinets by VAS Audio, featuring ready-made cabinets and cabinet kits for self-assembly.
What is Paraflex, and how does it stand out in the audio industry?
Paraflex is an advanced loudspeaker cabinet design developed to optimize bass response and overall sound performance. It stands out in the audio industry due to its unique combination of efficiency, precision, and minimal distortion. The design uses a tuned, folded horn system to channel and amplify low-frequency sound, allowing for a more controlled and impactful bass output.
What makes Paraflex truly exceptional is its ability to produce deep, resonant bass while maintaining clarity and accuracy even at high output levels. Unlike traditional bass reflex or sealed designs, Paraflex cabinets are engineered for maximum power handling and consistent sound reproduction, making them perfect for high-demand environments like live performances, sound systems, and mobile setups.
By reducing unwanted distortion and air turbulence, Paraflex ensures that the bass remains tight and punchy without sacrificing volume or depth, making it a favored choice for audiophiles, sound engineers, and professional audio setups looking for reliable, high-performance cabinets.
What material is used for VAS Paraflex cabinets, and why is it important?
VAS Paraflex cabinets are crafted from WISA birch plywood, a premium material known for its exceptional durability, acoustic properties, and overall performance in audio applications. WISA plywood is sourced from sustainable forests in Finland and is FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council), ensuring responsible forest management. Additionally, it holds the PEFC (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certification, guaranteeing that the plywood meets international sustainability standards.
WISA plywood is highly regarded in the audio industry due to its strength, stability, and resonance control, making it the ideal choice for constructing speaker enclosures. The quality of the plywood directly impacts the sound clarity and bass response of the cabinet. Its consistent density ensures that each cabinet performs with precision, providing tight bass and clear highs. Additionally, its rigidity prevents unwanted vibrations that could distort sound, allowing for optimal performance in both DIY builds and ready-made cabinets.
What is Polyurea Pro-Coating, and why should I choose it for my cabinets?
Polyurea Pro-Coating is a highly durable, protective finish applied to VAS Paraflex ready-made cabinets. This coating enhances the cabinet's resilience and longevity, providing an extra layer of protection against wear and tear, moisture, and environmental conditions, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.
The polyurea finish is known for its flexibility, allowing it to absorb impacts without cracking or chipping. It also improves acoustic performance by reducing the resonance that can occur in untreated cabinets, ensuring the sound remains clean and powerful. For those who require cabinets that can stand up to the rigors of live performances or harsh environments, the Polyurea Pro-Coating offers both protection and professional-grade performance.
Opting for the Polyurea Pro-Coating on your ready-made cabinets is the perfect choice for anyone looking for maximum durability and performance in their audio setup.
