R C Arreté
Using the same principles and parts as Audiovector uses in their high-performance R series speakers, needless to say the R C centre speaker delivers on-point and is a fine choice for any home cinema system. The Audiovector philosophy for optimum sound delivery is founded on synergy. To achieve the ultimate balance for your home entertainment system, each speaker must work in harmony and balance with each other.
The Audiovector Freedom Grounding® system eliminates distortion and improves overtones, lowers the noise floor and increases image depth and focus.

Audiovector’s concepts:
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 currents 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 distribution unit. These currents 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, Audiovector achieves a clean, very accurate, much more realistic sound with low noise floor.

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.
