VERITY AUDIO Lohengrin IIS. 4-way columns. Black and white lacquered.
Lohengrin IIS: The Grail Knight
The Lohengrin is a four-way bass-reflex loudspeaker with two independent enclosures belonging to Verity's extended range series. The upper cabinet features a patented, built-in ribbon tweeter, a wide-range/midrange woofer and a powerful midrange/bass woofer. The lower enclosure houses an impressive large-scale bass-reflex rear woofer. Both enclosures are isolated by a solid aluminium platform coupled with special elastomers and the lower enclosure is coupled to the floor via Verity's Mechanical and Airborne Sound Isolation System (MASIS). The Lohengrin exhibits an astonishing 95 dB sensitivity and 1 watt/1 metre sound pressure level (SPL) and inherits from Verity Audio's best-in-class technologies.
The uncompromising design of the Lohengrin IIS column loudspeaker is the result of twenty-five years of uncompromising commitment to loudspeaker research. Verity has designed all the driver units, including the unique pure ribbon tweeter, which is manufactured in-house from scratch. The enclosure design is not only visually impressive: it also provides an ideal acoustic environment for the extraordinary drivers. Above all, the Lohengrin II offers an unprecedented balance of detail, dynamics and overall musicality. It is truly a force to be reckoned with.

Know-how, the human touch
Verity Audio components are built to the strictest benchmarks, achieving true excellence in terms of advanced technologies, craftsmanship, exemplary manufacturing and authenticity.
Each component is scrupulously fine-tuned to perfection by our consummate craftsmen, whose raison d'être is the integrity and precision of their craft and whose workmanship comes from perfectly polished parts that move with silent dexterity. The quality of craftsmanship determines not only how well the speaker will perform, but also for how long.
From its enclosure to its vibrant heart, each Verity Audio loudspeaker is hand-finished by a dedicated, trained specialist whose skill comes from years of hard-won knowledge. Each component is finely crafted by hand to a degree of quality rarely seen, right down to the smallest detail.
Design Philosophy
Verity Audio's product design process always follows the same fundamental steps. We start by establishing our goal, then identify the best solutions, test, implement corrective measures and start again. This extensive back and forth only stops once we reach our final goals. For us to choose a technology, it must be measurable and generate audible benefits. Our solutions often buck short-term trends, as we favour quality benchmarks and long-term user satisfaction above all else. Our choices are always backed by extensive studies, trials and documented testing.
In addition to Verity's research and development activities, our facilities are centred around an impressive listening room where all our products undergo extensive listening sessions before being released to the market. Our products must not only meet our strict criteria, but also gain unanimous approval from our listening panel.
The following criteria are fundamental to Verity's product design philosophy. If these values speak to you, then Verity Audio products are what you're looking for.
A Matter of Balance
All Verity Audio loudspeakers share a common trait, namely their exceptional "synergy", meaning that once our major components come together and interact, the result they produce is far greater than the sum of their parts. Using only the highest quality components is a good first step, but only through the highest level of refinement do Verity loudspeakers truly achieve their remarkable performance.
We understand how important it is that each element is perfectly integrated into the whole. The secret to the incredible balance of our products is the complete integration of every last part.
A matter of passion
Our standards of quality and reliability can only be met by those with a complete and perfect mastery of loudspeaker engineering, craftsmanship and music listening. And yet Verity Audio's requirements go far beyond these criteria. The entire Verity Audio staff strives for the highest achievements in all aspects of the design and manufacturing process.
Skilled and talented craftsmen assemble each Verity Audio loudspeaker. They place great value on their workmanship and insist on making each speaker reliable and beautiful. Our quality control process starts with the cabinetmaker and follows the evolution of each product through the entire manufacturing process. Verity Audio technicians make it a point of honour to never allow the slightest inconsistency to pass through our factory. This allows us to create loudspeakers that not only ensure immediate customer satisfaction, but also remain completely satisfactory for years to come.
A matter of seamless integration
No other loudspeaker manufacturer is as concerned with the integration of its products into the listening environment. The room where you listen to your music is a critical component of your acoustic system and deserves to be considered an integral and complementary part of your loudspeaker. The rear-facing woofer of Verity loudspeakers is specially tuned to integrate smoothly and precisely into your room.
This configuration, among other indisputable advantages, significantly reduces woofer distortion through better load management. It also allows for better bass extension than would normally be produced by similar rooms or diaphragms.
