Description
THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF PROVEN PERFORMANCE
The new R-Series speakers take a great platform to the next level. Although the R-Series speakers are new for 2017, they actually come from an impressive Alpine lineage – the Type-R speakers.
Overview
- 100 Watts RMS
- 300 Watts Peak
- Ultra Smooth 1" Silk Dome Tweeter
- Swivel Tweeter Mounting
- H.A.M.R. Surround (Patent Pending)
- Multi-Layer Hybrid Fiber Cone
- Large Square Wire Dual-Layer Voice Coil
- High-performance Linear Drive Motor
Type-R speakers have been known for their dependability and sound performance at a mid-line price. Chances are, you’ve heard the Type-R speakers and appreciated the loud & fun listening experience.
Using the highly successful Type-R speakers as a foundation, we applied various performance and hardware improvements to the design, essentially transforming them into the new R-Series speakers – The Next Evolution of Proven Performance.
Compact Design & Strength
Small is Better
The new smaller Neodymium Magnet on the Type-R series allows the total speaker dimensions to be smaller. Not only do you get better performance and control, the compact size makes them easier to install in a wider variety of vehicles. Plus, they are much lighter than typical designs using standard magnet technology.
HD Polymer Frame
Traditional speaker frame designs rely on steel making them larger and heavier. The new Type-R series uses a revolutionary HD Polymer frame making the speaker stronger, lighter, and easier to install.
Ride that Wave
As with many high-end speakers, the Type-R components incorporate Wave Guide technology in the form of a phase plug in the center of the woofer cone. The Wave Guide enhances in-car sound dispersion and helps eliminate phase distortion. Alpine’s unique Dynamic eXpander ring stiffens the cone around the Wave Guide, eliminating a big source of distortion in typical designs caused by cone flexing.
Awesome Power Handling
The Type-R series continues its legendary reputation for power handling capabilities. One reason is Alpine’s patented Linear Drive Motor. It uses a square-wire voice coil that is a large 30mm diameter, driven by a small, powerful neodymium magnet. This unique design provides linear motion over an extremely wide excursion, efficiently turning your amplifier’s power into great sound. At high volumes, when other speakers give up, Type-R’s Linear Drive Motor keeps on producing high quality output.
High-Impact Bass Performance
Type-R speakers use Alpine’s patent pending Multi roll HAMR surround, a technology developed for many of Alpine’s legendary subwoofer designs. At higher volume levels, a speaker’s suspension system typically loses control and becomes unstable. Alpine’s HAMR Surround combines both large cone area and long linear cone excursion for deep, powerful bass response.
High Performance Tweeter
The Type R tweeter is an entirely new design that provides crisp, smooth response engineered for the car environment. The 25mm diameter silk dome offers wide bandwidth and tremendous detail. Alpine’s new EQ Ring improves the tweeter’s dispersion characteristics, providing excellent off-axis response. The motor structure incorporates a special copper cap to minimize distortion and enhance vocal presence. You have to hear to believe how great these tweeters sound.
High Efficiency
The new Type R line not only handles a lot of power, but it’s also very efficient, making it the perfect match for built-in head unit power, the KTP-445 Power Pack, or a high-powered component amplifier like the MRX or PDX series.
