OTELLO

Othello, the protagonist of Shakespeare’s eponymous play, in-

spired Giuseppe Verdi’s resoundingly successful penultimate op-

era “Otello”, the first to be staged at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala, on

February 5, 1887.

The Otello exemplifies Verity Audio’s philosophy. This command-

ing loudspeaker boasts impressive dynamics and true musicality,

qualities for which all Verity Audio loudspeakers are recognized.

Otello inherited the advanced technologies of the Parsifal Anni-

versary. Its dual isolated chassis design eliminates all interference

between the lows and mid-highs. Our world-class phase and time

alignment front baffle seamlessly blends the frequency and time

response of the mids and highs, and our Mechanical & Airborne

Sound Isolation System (MASI) insulating base diffuses vibrations

between the loudspeaker and the ground while absorbing excess

sound waves. This not only prevents sound from reverberating off

the ground, but also minimizes floor and cabinet vibration, espe-

cially at high volume levels.

The top chassis contains two proprietary drivers that grant it a pre-

cise and smooth frequency-time characteristic: an Audio Tech-

nology midrange and an extended-frequency ring dome tweet-

er. Otello’s high-sensitivity neo-ring tweeter is the latest innovation

in dome tweeter designs, offering excellent linearity and smooth

decay characteristics throughout its entire operating bandwidth.

The powerful midrange driver allows a wide dynamic range while

maintaining accuracy at all levels. Its special-geometry, miner-

al-filled polypropylene cone is optimized for maximum cone rigid-

ity, low energy storage and smooth breakup.

The bottom chassis includes two highly accurate woofer drivers

with paper-pulp cones whose randomized reed stiffening ele-

ments allow powerful, extended and dynamic bass reproduction.

They feature Bessel tuning for maximum articulation as well as

Verity’s proprietary rear-firing configuration, which was specifical-

ly designed to enrich your listening room’s native low-frequency

reinforcement characteristics to produce extended, solid bass.

Like all of Verity Audio’s fine products, Otello offers an outstand-

ing performance for its price point and a remarkable intelligibility

level for a speaker its size. Its smooth impedance curve, high-effi-

ciency characteristics and proficiency in listening rooms of all sizes

and conditions make it an exceptionally adaptable and versa-

tile product. With an input sensitivity of 93 dB and even, nominal

4-ohm impedance, Otello excels alongside a strikingly wide array

of power amplifiers, including single-ended triode designs.

In keeping with our proud tradition, Otello features the best at-

tention to detail and level of execution of its class. Its cabinet

construction methods involve a proprietary asymmetrical internal

bracing array, with special attention paid to internal diffusion of

rear waves and smooth airflow throughout the inner structure.

The cabinets are uniformly finished on all sides with exquisite Ital-

ian polyester lacquers, leaving no visible joints. All finishing mate-

rials are carefully selected for a harmoniously balanced exterior

aesthetic.

Beyond all else, Otello will remain your faithful companion for

years to come, giving its proud owner countless hours of listening

pleasure. Please contact your nearest dealer and ask for an au-

dition.
