R 10 Arreté

Handcrafted danish design. Innovative technological excellence. Enter the dual dimension of sound

Developed entirely from the ground up, the Audiovector R 10 represents the ultimate home audio experience. Every single component has been purpose-designed to deliver the most natural, dynamic, and open sound reproduction we have ever achieved. By immersing the listener in the full breadth, depth and detail of music, it adds a new dimension to every track.

A suite of the latest generation of Audiovector innovations includes the newly developed Dual Air Motion Transformer. Working in harmony with our Soundstage Enhancement Concept (SEC), it delivers an exceptionally open, precise and three-dimensional treble – allowing music not only to be heard, but truly felt.

A proprietary line array bass system radiates sound both forward and backward, dispersing the bass more effectively than a conventional speaker. This significantly enhances realism and makes it easier to feel the music.

The low-frequency array of eight rear-mounted bass drivers is groundbreaking. Representing the equivalent surface area and displacement of a 15-inch woofer, it ensures profound bass extension with controlled articulation, creating a vast and open soundstage with a deep and involving bass.

The Accelerated Force Concept (AFC) bass/midrange structure also sets a new benchmark, accelerating and decelerating the drive units with precision and control. This results in a lightning-fast response, ultra-low distortion, and a physical presence in the sound that you can both hear and feel.

Our uniquely flexible Damping Feature aligns cabinet resonance and energy release in perfect synchrony with the music. The result is a calm, controlled, and profoundly musical performance.

The Audiovector R 10 Arreté is a unique, one-of-its-kind loudspeaker as visually arresting as it is acoustically stunning. Each cabinet is meticulously hand-crafted from premium, high-density hardwood fibreboard, vacuum-formed and intricately braced to deliver exceptional rigidity. Precision-milled 6061 aluminium baffles provide further structural integrity to dramatically reduce vibration and distortion.

The R 10 is available in a curated selection of exquisite finishes: African Mahogany Crotch Piano, Canadian Birdseye Maple Piano, and Italian Walnut Burl Piano.

Standard Piano finishes: African Mahogany Crotch | Canadian Birdseye Maple | Italian Walnut Burl

	DCC – Diffraction Control Concept. A thick layer of natural felt around the mid-and treble drivers absorbs reflected energy and make the drivers act as point sources. This results in a holographic 3-dimensional soundstage.
	AFC - Accelerated Force Concept. This technology was developed to overcome the inherent inertia in all dynamic drivers. A new propriety voice coil geometry was developed to improve the midrange driver’s willingness to move to small and delicate signals. A light concertina rubber surround replaces the conventional heavy half-roll for a lightened moving mass. AFC delivers a wider dynamic range, a deeper soundstage, lower distortion, greater micro-detail, and resolution – the perfect match with the AMT tweeters..
	NSW - No Standing Waves. Standing waves are the enemy of perfect sound, because they introduce both distortion and energy loss. The R 10 cabinet avoids these problems by creating the perfect conditions for the drivers.
	DFA – Damping Factor Adjustment. All amplifiers are different. Some have a high damping factor, some have a low damping factor. Audiovectors DFA principle makes it possible to adjust the speakers to the amplifiers characteristics. This brings us one step closer to the perfect sound.
	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 realigment Natural Crystal Structure is one of the many invisible technological improvementss 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.
