Vers Audio

Vers knows that in the creation of any mass-produced product, there is going to be a certain amount of resources needed to manufacture, transport, and manage the product throughout their useful lives. However, Vers works hard every day to be better in every imaginable way, so not only do their Vers 2X and Vers 1.5R have great sound, but they’re more efficient, less toxic, and made out of renewable materials.

The Eucalyptus and Pine wood stock chosen for the MDF core of Vers comes from locally managed plantations near their factory and any trees that are used are replanted. Every part of the tree is used: trunks, roots, bark, branches, and twigs. This large use of wood used in a Vers system replaces 80% of what could have been plastic. Not only is the plastic in the Vers systems replaced, but the plastic bags and foam packing materials used in the boxes are replaced with post-consumer recycled paper bags and recycled pulp paper. This has allowed Vers to reduce the size of their boxes by 12%. Lots of small choices can add up to a big difference in the end.

Vers 2X and Vers 1.5R both have a Class D amplifier, which produces the same sound of less energy, or better sound for the same energy and produces a lot less waste heat than traditional Class AB amplifiers. In addition, all Vers systems use switching-type power adaptors, which draw 30% less power than traditional non-switching adaptors under full load and when powered off draw up to 90% less energy. Vers systems also address the problem of overfilling landfills with electronic waste by making all Vers systems 100% RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) compliant. This means that there is no Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent chromium, Polybrominated biphenyls or Polybrominated diphenyl ether in any of the Vers systems. This is just another step in the right direction toward making this world a greener place. These differences in the Vers systems make them worth the money; more sound for less energy and toxic waste is a good thing.
