Compact Three-Way Floorstanding Speakers

The slim and elegant R5 Meta is compact, but it is more than capable of delivering highly detailed sound and deep, clean bass. It boasts the 12thgeneration Uni-Qdriver array with MATand two 5.25 hybrid aluminum bass drivers. It can work as a stereo pair or as surround speakers as part of an ultimate R Series home theatre system.

Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT)

At the heart of the R Series is Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT). MAT is a highly complex maze-like structure that absorbs 99% of the unwanted noise from the rear of the driver, eliminating the resulting distortion and providing purer, more natural sound.

12thGeneration Uni-Q

A 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT is found in all seven models of the R Series. Uni-Q acts as a single point source to disperse sound more evenly through the room. The result is the elimination of the limited sweet spot, therefore allowing everybody, wherever in the room they may be, to experience and enjoy the same natural, detailed sound.

A Flare for Detail

Derived from The Reference, Shadow Flare is an innovative way to cut harmful high frequency cabinet diffraction. It's a carefully profiled transition that extends the waveguide effect of Uni-Q. The treble escapes naturally because the shadow region stops it getting to the cabinet edges. The result is vastly improved fine detail.

Performance Critical Damping

A solid platform is imperative for great sound. The R Series benefits from constrained layer damping, a system that uses internal braces joined by a lossy interface. This material converts unwanted vibration into heat, ensuring that the cabinet makes the only sound it needs to: the sound of silence.

True Bass Definition

R Series bass drivers have a two-part structure with a shallow, concave, aluminum skin atop a paper cone. This stiffness, combined with the cones unique geometry, achieves a piston-like movement for punch and speed. The drivers magnet system creates a broad and uniform magnetic field which means more impressive and impactful bass.

Flexible Port for Cleaner Bass

We only want to hear the drivers, not the resonances or turbulence created by a bass port. The R Series ports have innovative flexible walls. Using computational fluid dynamics, the flare and profile of each port is calculated to delay the onset of turbulence and the flexible port walls prevent resonances from coloring the midrange.
