R 8 - Arreté
The new AudioVector Driver has been engineered to further improve the already class leading drivers: Lighter, stiffer and 'acoustically dead' membranes produce a fast uncoloured sound. The membranes of the new Titanium Tech drivers are made from precision woven aramid fibres sandwiched with artificial wood resin. There is a delicate balance combining AudioVector's award-winning 8" + 6" down-firing isobaric compound bass system with a new midrange topology and a 4-inch rear firing bass/midrange driver. These drive units seamlessly integrate with the new AudioVector quasi rear firing R-AMT Integrator tweeter. The use of cryogenically treated 7-nines pure copper asymmetrical wiring and AudioVector Nano Pore damping material creates a smooth and natural musical reproduction.
The Freedom® Grounding system, invented and engineered by Audiovector, is a complex distortion eliminating construction. The effect of Freedom® Grounding brings about improved overtones, lower noise floor, increased image depth with tighter focus and wider soundstage. You will also find that pace, dynamics and musical expression have surpassed existing standards.
