Audiovector R 5 Arreté
THE BALANCE OF PERFECTION. FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING.
The Audiovector R 5 Arreté is the first model in the R Series to carry technologies inherited directly from our flagship R 10 Arreté. Designed, engineered and hand-built in Denmark, it fills any room with a sound that belies its size.
The R 5 features true 3.5-way architecture with bottom-mounted bass reflex loading. But when it comes to the sound, we have taken no half measures. Two bass drivers operate in carefully differentiated roles: one covering the full bass range, the second dedicated solely to the deepest frequencies. Each works within its optimal bandwidth. The midrange remains completely uncompromised: clean, fast and transparent. Bass that is not merely heard but felt.
At the heart of the R 5 Arreté is the latest evolution of our Air Motion Transformer tweeter, inspired by Dr Oscar Heil’s original 1970 principle. It delivers exceptional acceleration and micro-dynamic precision from 2,800 Hz to 53,000 Hz – far beyond the threshold of human hearing, but not of human feeling.
