The most common criticism
levelled at hi-fi companies today
is that systems are designed
either for home cinema use, or to
reproduce stereo music accurately.
It is seemingly difficult to find a
system that combines the best of
both worlds without compromise
to each other.
The RS-10 is different. We have
used our seventy years
experience in producing hi-fi
speakers to full effect, creating a
speaker with neutrality,
transparency and accuracy -
ideal for the reproduction of
music. The smooth mid-range is
a testament to the accuracy of
the drivers.
The reason the RS-10 is different
is because of its wide dispersion
characteristic. The RS-10
combines all of the best hi-fi
credentials with the finest
dispersion in its class.
The RS-10 satellite speakers use
twin bass/mid drivers and a
high-resolution textile dome
tweeter. Their speed and accuracy,
combined with our curved front
baffle, means the drivers remain
‘phase coherent’ throughout the
frequencies at which the
crossover transition takes place.
This, in turn means an even
sound field dispersion, devoid of
the usual ‘lobing’ effects shown
in such systems. This is
particularly important in the
centre channel speaker, which is
required to cover a full 60
degrees from perpendicular with
a consistent and even sound
field.
The effect for the listeners is
clear. Wherever they are sat in
the room, the sound is
consistent. Everyone can experience
the full impact of the surround
sound effect.
Home Cinema or Music?
At higher frequencies, many
loudspeakers start to ‘beam’
meaning there’s a very narrow
angle at which the listener can
hear the full frequency range.
This is not such a problem in a
stereo system. But for home
cinema a much wider dispersion
is desirable, allowing everyone in
the room, to hear every speaker
properly.
