Vibe Get In Trim

Vibe UK have announced a wave of new products for late 2007 including some very tasty amplifiers and highly useful accessories.

VIBE BlackBox stereo amps’ Complete Makeover
The thinking behind the BlackBox amplifier range is still elegant design, audiophile sound quality and a price which won’t break the bank. These compact amplifiers look very clean and crisp thanks to their ICC technology (Internal Convection Cooling) obviating the need for external cooling fins. Advances such as the four layer circuit board, active low and high pass filters and BassEnhance which delivers 15dB of boost at 45Hz) are all common features across the BlackBox range.
BlackBox Stereo amplifiers include both 2 and 4 channel units with the Stereo 2 producing 2 x 175w RMS @2 Ohms, 2 x 110w @4 Ohms and the Stereo 4 the same but four ways. Both amplifiers can be bridged to deliver extra power. The 4 channel can run properly crossed-over components and a subwoofer as a single footprint solution to clean system power. Compact and muscular, these amplifiers offer excellent audio performance and quality electronics for controllable and dynamic audiophile sound. Massive 114dB signal to noise ratio and 24dB slopes to crossovers make these genuinely high end products. Stereo 2 – £199.99; Stereo 4 – £299.99

VIBE Launch BlackAir Speakers
VIBE are proud to announce the launch of BlackAir speakers. Designed with versatility in mind, they can be mounted in either coaxial or component configuration. The dust cap in the middle of the Honeycomb Fibreglass cone can be removed and replaced with the tweeter to turn these component-grade speakers into ultra high quality coaxials. The unique Honeycomb cone is very strong but lightweight at the same time, allowing it to offer fast paced, studio quality audio reproduction while the silk dome tweeter works in perfect harmony with the main driver resulting in exceptional accuracy  and reference quality sound. Available in either 5 inch or 6 inch fitment, BlackAir speakers offer serious power handling of 100w RMS and 120w RMS respectively. BlackAir speakers not only sound good, but look it too thanks to the distinctive yellow cone, CNC machined alloy gasket and a cast alloy chassis. Exceptional value for money, with the 5 inch costing £89.99 and the 6 inch £99.99.

Vibe & Fli Designer Trim
If you have built your own custom install but want to finish it to the same high quality as the factory made enclosures from VIBE and FLI you now can – thanks to these new rolls of carpet and vinyl. If you have a VIBE install you can now buy a roll of RubberCrackle vinyl which will allow you to trim your enclosure, parcel shelf or door cards in the trademark VIBE finish. The high quality, highly durable vinyl will add a touch of class to any custom installation. FLI installs have not been overlooked either thanks to the release of this high quality carpet which is exactly the same as the material used on the FLI TRAP enclosures. It even comes with the FLI logo stitched into the durable grey material. Both of these items retail at £10 per roll measuring 1m by 1.2m
