Sarastro IIS
The High Priest
The Sarastro is a two-cabinet, floor-standing, three-way, bass-reflex loudspeaker belonging to Verity’s extended range series. The top cabinet features a wide-spectrum midrange and proprietary ribbon tweeter that’s built in-house. The bottom cabinet houses an impressive bass-reflex rearward woofer. Both cabinets are isolated by a solid aluminum platform coupled with special elastomers and the bottom cabinet is floor-coupled via Verity’s Mechanical & Airborne Sound Isolation System (MASIS). The Sarastro exhibits a high 93 dB SPL 1 watt/1 meter sensitivity and inherits from the best Verity Audio technologies.
The Sarastro IIS is Verity’s ticket to ultra-high-performance in moderately-sized listening rooms. Verity Audio’s unique and ultra-high-quality driver complement grants the Sarastro IIS high efficiency, extended dynamics and ultra-wide bandwidth. The Sarastro has a unique ability to recapture all the drama, excitement and intimacy of the original performance, bringing previously unimaginable dimensions to your recordings.
