Audiovector – R8 Aretté

SETTING THE STANDARD IN ITS FIELD – THE R 8 ARRETÉ IS A TRUE HIGH-END PERFORMER

The new Audiovector Carbon Driver has been engineered to further improve our already class leading drivers:

Lighter, stiffer and ‘acoustically dead’ membranes produce a fast and 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 our 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 Nanopore damping material creates a smooth and natural musical reproduction.

COLOURS AND VENEERS

At Audiovector we only use carefully selected real wood veneers. We offer a wide variety of custom painted finishes which are painted in Denmark. Availability on request. Standard Piano finishes: Italian Walnut Burl Piano, Italian Grey Piano, Black Piano, White Piano.

Low compression concept 

A technology which allows the membranes of the drivers to move freely under all kinds of demanding conditions. This means that your Audiovector speakers will stay faith-ful to whatever signal they are fed – no matter how loud and complicated the material.

Soundstage enhancement concept

This concept allows you to choose where you want to be positioned when you listen. This technology means the soundstage stays intact, wherever you are positioned. The sound fills a room in an incredible manner, giving the listener a realistic “live sound” experience.

No energy

Drive units sound best if they do not have to ‘carry’ the weight of the speaker cabinet to which they are fixed. This is a question of transient response. Inspired by the solutions from the Audiovector R 11 Arreté, we have managed to use the NES concept to achieve an even higher level of realism and open soundstage from our speakers.

NCS molecular realignment

Natural Crystal Structure is one of the many invisible technological improvements of our Arreté models. By freezing components down to -238° C, the copper molecules realign themselves to their natural positions and will therefore reduce resistance. The result is a clear and more detailed sound quality.

Freedom of grounding

Audiovector Freedom is a revolutionary grounding technology, which addresses the movement induced distortion of and between the drive units in a loudspeaker. The currencies 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 distributor. 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 them to earth/ground, we achieve a clean, very accurate, much more realistic sound with low noise floor.

Opinions

There's never a sensation of pent-up energy with these speakers. The R 8 Arretés release their music into the air in a way that seems effortless—and free.

Jim Austin

I’m something of a fan of the Audiovector sound, as it combines the precision of something like a Dynaudio with the melodic sophistication of something like a Devore, or a Neat. But that combination gets taken to new levels in the R8!

On the surface, the R8s are 3-way loudspeakers, with an AMT Integrator quasi-dipole tweeter, three 6.5-inch midrange units and a hidden sub-bass system that fires down at the bottom smartly tilted by a plinth with a sleek three-slot grid design. But R8s are more than meets the eye.

One of the really great revelations these speakers gave all the other editorial staff members and me is how they with the best possible electronics can completely transform the listening room into a concert hall and how they really bring out the very most and best from reasonable well-made recordings.
