Line Array Bass – fast, deep and precise bass reproduction

The R 10 Arreté uses a unique rear-facing line source bass system consisting of eight 5” long-throw woofers with ±12 mm linear travel – together equivalent to a 15” woofer. The result is lightning-fast and controlled bass that is evenly distributed throughout the room. Two 6.5” front-facing bass/midrange drivers add extra precision and create a soundstage that is both wide and deep.

Teardrop-shaped cabinet – no standing waves

The elegant teardrop-shaped construction eliminates internal standing waves and minimizes the need for damping material that can inhibit dynamics. The cabinet is made of vacuum-formed HDF with extensive internal bracing, while the 6061 aluminum front baffle reduces vibrations to an absolute minimum.

Dual SEC AMT tweeter – extreme speed and resolution

The R 10 Arreté is equipped with two specially designed Audiovector Air Motion Transformer tweeters. The primary one covers the range from 3,000 to 53,000 Hz, while the secondary one operates from 20,000 to 53,000 Hz. The pleated mylar diaphragms, reinforced with aluminum, are driven by powerful neodymium magnets, providing a treble reproduction with exceptional detail, precision and holographic spatiality.

AFC midrange – revolutionary control and realism

The midrange is handled by Audiovector's Accelerated Force Concept, which accelerates the initial movement of the diaphragm for improved transient response and microdynamics. Carbon fiber/natural resin sandwich diaphragms are combined with titanium voice coils and precision-optimized magnet systems to deliver an open, detailed and three-dimensional soundstage.

Reference quality crossover

The crossover is hand-built with dual cryogenically treated capacitors, distortion-optimized copper coils in a Dynamic Feed Forward layout, and Audiovector X Duelund bypass capacitors for maximum treble clarity. The resistors are precision film types to ensure smooth and natural reproduction.

Perfect fit for your amplifier

With three adjustable attenuation levels, the R 10 Arreté can be optimally matched to everything from tube amplifiers to powerful transistor amplifiers.

Freedom Grounding® – crystal clear sound

Second generation Audiovectors Freedom Grounding® filters unwanted currents away from the driver chassis, reducing intermodulation distortion and providing a lower noise floor, greater clarity and increased realism.

A new era of audio experience

The Audiovector R 10 Arreté is not just a speaker – it is the new standard against which all future models will be measured. It combines groundbreaking technology, uncompromising construction and a sound that recreates the concert experience with unparalleled realism.
