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.

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
