Description
The long-awaited R-Series 2022 collection is here!
Revamped engines
The second generation R-series subwoofers have a large double magnet, which makes the reproduction go lower and the reproduction is tighter, compared to the previous R-Series generation. The "Faraday Ring" integrated into the voice coil increases the power endurance and reduces possible distortion, which in turn provides clean bass reproduction even at higher volumes than before. The cones of the R-Series subwoofers are Kevlar reinforced, which makes the cone very durable, without increasing the weight of the cone too much.
Top class performance, already in the second generation
Before the R-Series collection, Alpine had the Type-R collection, which became known for its performance, reliability and really tight bass reproduction. The second generation R-Series model series, which has now entered the market, is even better than its predecessor in terms of bass reproduction!
Alpine reliability
The new polypropylene/ceramic composite cone is really rigid, so the cone does not live its own life and the playback response is smoother and the cone material is really durable
Versatile possibilities of use
All new R-Series subwoofers have double voice coils (2 x 4ohm or 2 x 2ohm) and the subwoofers come with jumpers that make it easy to make different connection options. The new "EZ-Change" collar creates an elegant installation, and with the EZ-Change ring, the fixing screws remain hidden.
More accurate playback than before
The R-Series subwoofers have Alpine's patented HAMR (High Amplitude Multi-Roll) suspension. The trajectory of the cone can be increased and the suspension keeps the movement of the cone under control much better than with traditional suspension.
Six different versions
The new R-Series subwoofer collection covers three different sizes (8″, 10″, 12″) and each subwoofer is available in 2 x 2ohm and 2 x 4ohm versions.
