Flagship three-way floorstanding speakers

The R11 Meta is the largest floor-standing model in the R-series.

Metamaterial Absorption Technology

Decades of experience in sonic innovation and the pursuit of musical excellence merge in the R Series to deliver more detailed, insightful sound, sound that inspires excitement every time you experience it.

The R-Series benefits directly from the innovations developed for The Reference, a class-leading series that continues to set the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. Combined with bespoke technology, the R-series offers exceptional sonic performance. The revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology1 (MATTM) has been incorporated into the latest version of the R-series, and the 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array has been improved to maximize the impact of this technological advancement and deliver the best possible performance. The result is seven extraordinary speaker models packed with exquisite detail and incredible insight. Whether your taste is traditional two-channel hi-fi, multi-channel home theater, or both, the R-Series reveals the level of detail you need to hear to be believed.

Absorbs 99% of unwanted sound for pure and natural sound. The Reference, the class-leading series that consistently sets the standard for loudspeakers and sound reproduction, benefited directly from the technological advancements made for it.

 

True bass definition

Bass is a key element of performance, and the R-Series low-frequency drivers have been meticulously and precisely engineered. They consist of a two-piece construction with a flat, concave aluminum skin on top of a paper cone. This stiffness, combined with the cone's unique shape, reduces unwanted resonances and provides the piston-like movement that makes these drivers work so well. The driver's magnet system produces a wide, uniform magnetic field, while the suspension reduces harmonic distortion for clean, precise sound. The result is extremely deep and agile bass, revealing every detail and powerful depth.

 

12th generation Uni-Q®

The Uni-Q driver array has been redesigned to maximize the performance gains offered by MAT. A tapered waveguide combines a tweeter dome with a new metamaterial absorber designed specifically for depth-based custom drivers. A redesigned tweeter's slotted silencer strategically places her two rings of porous material to effectively dampen resonance and imperfections, dramatically improving detail and clarity .

Mid-range, ultra-low distortion motor designs use copper rings embedded in the motor air gap to minimize inductance and inductance variation with winding position. This reduces midrange THD and reduces thermal compression to improve efficiency.

Microfibre grilles

The R-series is designed to work with or without a grille, which is aesthetically pleasing but has little impact on sound performance. A custom microfiber grille features 1,801 precision-cut holes per driver for uncompromised sonic performance even when the drivers are covered.

By compressing multiple layers of material with heat and pressure, a suede-like feel is achieved. The magnetic attachment provides a secure and precise fit, matching the clean design of the speaker itself.
