Audiovector – R3 Aretté

THE PERFECTLY BALANCED AUDIOPHILE SPEAKER

The R 3 Series is a compact speaker line based on a mixture of evolution and new inventions. All that we believe a pair of floor standing speakers should ever deliver, the R 3 does to perfection. In the ‘partner acceptance factor’ chart, the R 3 series ranks high!

Patented Audiovector designed in-house drivers made in Denmark. Hand-crafted Audiovector Air Motion Transformer tweeters made with extreme precision and state of the art cabinet quality. This makes these models incredibly strong performers, as numerous reviews around the globe testify.

Audiovector Freedom is a new and revolutionary grounding technology, which addresses the movement induced distortion of and between the drive units in a loudspeaker. The currents running between the chassis are being processed and dealt with through a new separate crossover, which routes the signal to the ground terminal of your wall socket or your grounded mains distribution unit. Contrary to conventional knowledge, these currencies cause coloration and distortion between the drive units. By balancing and filtering these through a dedicated separate filter and by offering the possibility of connecting the speakers to earth/ground, we achieve a clean, very accurate, significantly more realistic sound with a low noise floor. Arreté models only.

The gold leaf air motion tweeter

The fascia plate is machined from a single piece of Aerospace Grade Aluminum. It has been precision machined, glass blasted, brushed and then anodized in a beautiful Tungsten Titanium Grey color. It features a rose gold plated dispersion mesh, which works as an S-Stop filter.

S-stop filter

Inspired by the POP filters used in the professional recording industry, we have engineered a dispersion mesh in front of the tweeter, which also works as an S-STOP filter, controlling sibilants. Music never sounded more detailed, yet sweet, from a loudspeakers in this class. Just Listen.

Pure pistol dual magnet bass driver

This new Audiovector drive unit has the ability to work like a perfect piston over several octaves of the frequency band without the distortion normally found in aluminum/diamond drive units. This means music sounds warm, precise and detailed, yet dynamic and musical.

New membrane technology

Based on our experience with stiff light and sound dead membranes in the SR-and R-series speakers, we have developed a new sandwich membrane, which combines the strength of Aero Space Grade Aluminum with the excellent inner damping properties of softer materials. The result is a 3 layer sandwich membrane with no sound of its own and very low distortion, because it performs like a pure piston up to and above its working range.
