R 11 Arreté

A DREAM COME TRUE
Ole Klifoth (Audiovector founder and head of engineering) says about the creation of Audiovector’s ultimate speaker, the R 11 Arreté: “It was a dream come true to concentrate more than 35 years of experience and build the R 11 Arreté without limitation of materials and cost. The guideline for the R 11 Arreté project was: Absolute Perfection. Zero Compromise”.

WE HAD TO REWRITE THE RULE BOOK OF SPEAKER DESIGN
The Audiovector R 11 Arreté is uniquely special and unconventional in the way it uses multiple rear firing bass drivers in a line source configuration. “In order to build a speaker with Audiovector aesthetics and to exploit the advantages of our ‘tear drop’ shape, we had to rewrite the rule book of speaker design.”

THE PERFECT SHAPE
Audiovector’s ‘tear-drop’ shape is as close to the perfect acoustic shape as you can get in the real world. This shape eliminates the usual delay problems created by internal damping and allows for an extremely low level of colouration – also aided by the very stiff and inert cabinet.

	Individual upgrade concept A technology which gives you the option to upgrade your speakers whenever you want. You can upgrade to a higher level or if your loudspeakers are replaced with a new improved model. This means that all Audiovector speakers are future proof.
	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.
