The VULKKANO A6 ARC are the most powerful speakers in our ARC line. Following the success of the A4 ARC and A5 ARC , this model, already established in the market, brings together the best of the range, offering greater size, more power and a surround sound profile.
Below, we analyze their main features and tell you why they are the best option to become the definitive audio system for your home.
Vulkkano A6 Arc Review
In our review of the A6 ARC we will focus on the four ingredients that make them a true audio delicacy: sound profile, connectivity, use and design. Let's find out!
Sound profile and speaker components
The sound profile of the VULKKANO A6 ARC is balanced and yet immersive. Its bass is deep, the mids are well defined and the highs are clear, providing a richly detailed and dynamic experience, especially suitable for home cinema or music playback. This profile particularly stands out in musical genres such as rock, pop, electronic and hip-hop, without losing sight of songs with a strong instrumental or vocal content.
The components of the VULKKANO A6 ARC speakers are essential to ensure the sound quality they deliver. We analyze them below:
- 6.5” Woofer: The woofer is the component responsible for reproducing the bass and low midrange. In the A6 ARC, this 6.5-inch woofer is designed to generate powerful, resounding bass without distortion, even at high volumes. Thanks to its size and construction, it achieves a precise response in the low frequency range. In addition, it can be extended even further by connecting an external subwoofer, as we will see later.
- 1” tweeter: Crisp, clear highs are guaranteed by the 1-inch tweeter, designed with a silk dome. This component is essential for reproducing high frequencies and ensuring greater clarity in sound details. The A6 ARC tweeter is designed to handle high frequencies without losing quality, which helps to make the sound enveloping, especially in music with a strong instrumental focus.
-Built-in digital amplification: The A6 ARC speakers feature a digital amplification system, allowing them to deliver powerful and clear sound without requiring an external amplifier. This digital amplification not only improves the speakers' energy efficiency, but also optimizes sound quality, minimizing distortion and ensuring accurate reproduction across the entire frequency range.
Connections and uses
Like its smaller siblings, the VULKKANO A6 ARC stands out for its versatile connectivity. The speakers integrate:
-HDMI ARC: ideal for easy connection to TVs, improving the interconnection between audio and video through a single cable, and controlling them directly from the TV.
-Bluetooth: For stable and high-quality wireless playback, enjoying the freedom of sound without cables.
-Subwoofer output: The SUB output on the rear panel of the A6 ARC allows you to connect an external subwoofer, further emphasizing the low frequency response.
-Optical input: Perfect for devices such as amplifiers/DACs, CD players or older TVs.
-RCA input: Expands connection options with various analog devices, such as turntables.
In this way, the A6 ARC are the perfect choice to serve as an active home cinema system, either in 2.0 or 2.1 configurations . In a 2.0 configuration, the speakers offer a high-quality stereo sound experience, ideal for enjoying movies or music in small to medium-sized spaces. If you prefer a more immersive cinema experience, the 2.1 configuration is complemented by an external subwoofer , significantly improving the response in the low frequencies and creating a more dynamic and vibrant environment.
Finally, our most powerful VULKKANOs feature pre-configured sound modes that you can access via the remote control, which optimize the experience depending on the content:
-DIALOGUE mode: highlights voices, ideal for movies or series where dialogues are key, ensuring they are heard clearly, even in the midst of effects or background music.
-MOVIE Mode: Enhances dynamics and surround sound for a home theater experience, amplifying special effects and creating a more impactful atmosphere.
-MUSIC Mode: Balances frequency ranges for a precise musical experience, perfect for all genres from rock to classical music.
-VIRTUAL BASS mode: boosts bass without the need for an external subwoofer, delivering a deep, robust bass sensation through advanced digital processing.
These modes make the A6 ARC versatile and adaptable, ensuring optimized sound for every type of content. They also feature physical equalizers that allow you to manually adjust the sound profile, adapting it to your personal preferences.
Plus, they come with a remote control , making it easy to operate all the functions without having to get up. With the remote control, you can adjust the volume, switch between different sound modes, and customize your listening experience quickly and easily.
