YG Acoustics Vesper 3 Loudspeakers

Vesper 3 is a three-way passive floor-standing loudspeaker. It joins the YG Acoustics Reference range directly above the Carmel, and it is an entirely new loudspeaker. Vesper 3 is the end result of a three-year development program, underpinned by extensive research and simulation. Every design decision was verified through measurement, modeling and listening. Drivers and crossover Vesper 3 uses YG’s hybrid Lattice tweeter together with midrange and bass drivers, each with advanced motor designs and YG’s proprietary aluminum cones. Linking them is a third-generation Ultracoherent crossover, built with proprietary YG components and benefitting from the understandings gained in the company’s Titan research program. Construction Each Vesper 3 is machined in-house by YG and hand-built at the company’s manufacturing facilities in Denver and Cambridge. It is engineered from aerospace-grade aluminum throughout. Research and development were conducted at YG’s laboratories in Cambridge, England. YG Acoustics was founded in 2002. Finishes Standard finishes are silver and black. Other finish options are available on request.
