Description
The third generation of Alpine's R-Series collection is here!
Alpine renewed its entire R-Series speaker collection and all new models are now Hi-Res Audio certified, with a playback range of up to 40 kilohertz!
For the first time in Alpine's history, the R-Series collection now also includes a three-way series, which has been eagerly hoped for in recent years. Two different options are available for two-way separate sets, Standard and Professional.
Alpine 2022 R-Series range:
- R2-S65 Standard (6.5″ coaxial)
- R2-S69 Standard (6×9″ coaxial)
- R2-S65C Standard (6.5″ separate set)
- R2-S69C Standard (6×9″ separate set)
- R2-S652 PROFESSIONAL (6.5″ separate set)
- R2-S653 PROFESSIONAL (6.5″ triple set)
6.5″ PROFESSIONAL separate set
R2-S652 is a stand-alone set of the new R-Series collection "PROFESSIONAL", which has a cast-frame 6.5" midbass, 4.3cm treble and two-way filters assembled from very high-quality components. The reproduction range of the completely renewed series is very wide, from 65 hertz to forty kilohertz.
Fiberglass reinforced cone
As a new feature, glass fiber reinforced cones are now used in the mid-bass of the R-Series collections. The cone material is very light and very stiff, thanks to which the reproduction is achieved very accurately.
Cast bodies and large magnets
The Alpine R-Series PROFESSIONAL separate sets (R2-S652 and R2-S653) have cast-frame mids, while all the speakers in the more affordable "Standard" collection have composite frames.
The advantage of the aluminum frame is a completely vibration-free structure and the possibility of using heavier magnets. Despite the former larger magnets, the installation depth of the mid-bass has been kept the same compared to the previous R-Series collection.
Hi-Res Audio tweeters
The new magnesium cone tweeters reproduce even the smallest details of the music very accurately and the reproduction goes up to 40kHz.
You can install the tweeters with surface mounting cups or use recessed cups. In both installation options, there is still the possibility to direct trebles in their cups.
Easy installation
The tweeters can be disassembled, and installing them in place of the car's factory-installed tweeter, for example on the A-pillar, mirror triangle or door panel, is possible in more and more cars. With such an installation, the look of the car's interior can be kept unchanged.
State-of-the-art two-way filters
The R-Series PROFESSIONAL stand-alone sets are Standard models with larger splitters, where only top-class components are used as a prerequisite for the best possible sound quality. The splitters have a three-step treble level control (-3db / 0dB / +3dB).
HAMR suspension
Thanks to Alpine's HAMR (High-Amplitude Multi-Roll) suspension, the trajectory of the cone remains linear at all volumes, thanks to which the bass reproduction is very controlled even at higher volumes.
New protective grilles
The grilles of the third generation R-Series collection are both sturdy and very nice. The grilles are designed so that the outer diameter of the speakers does not increase at all.
