From a new spectroscopic orbit of the early-type binary system V1425 Cygni we find mP sin3 i = 3.82±0.07Msun, mSsin3i = 2.45±0.05Msun, (aP + aS) sin i = 9.01±0.07Rsun and mP/mS = 1.56±0.03. The velocity measures were determined iteratively by fitting each cross-correlation function with a digital profile generated from an observation at conjunction. These measures were then used as the basis for a tomographic reconstruction of the mean primary and secondary spectra. In turn digital masks generated from cross-correlation functions (ccf's) of these spectra yielded revised velocities and better orbits with systemic velocities in close accord.
A spectrophotometric analysis indicates that the light ratio (p/s) is 1.72±0.15 which value in turn constrains the light-curve solution to that of a semi-detached system. V1425 Cygni had been thought to be a reverse Algol but our results rule conclusively against this interpretation. However the primary is well-evolved, occupying 92% of the inner Lagrangian lobe. Absolute dimensions have been determined for the system which is reddened [E(B - V) = 0.m16±0.m01] at a distance of 510i35 pc.
