AUDIOVECTOR R 5 ARRETÉ TO MAKE ITS UK PREMIERE AT THE STEREONET SHOW

R 5 Reveal 7

8 September 2026: The Audiovector R 5 Arreté is engineered and hand-crafted in Denmark. Developed over five years and refined through more than 2,000 hours of listening, the R 5 challenges expectations by redefining what a loudspeaker of this scale can achieve. It is the first model to incorporate technologies inherited directly from Audiovector’s flagship R 10 Arreté.

The stunning new speaker is built around a true 3.5-way architecture. Two bass drivers operate in carefully differentiated roles: one covering the full bass range, the second dedicated solely to the deepest frequencies. The midrange remains completely uncompromised – clean, fast and transparent. In the bass and lower midrange, the R 5 generates a line source-like effect, distributing energy across the listening space to form a forceful, controlled and room filling wave. This is bass that is both heard and felt – deep and powerful, from a loudspeaker of remarkable elegance and control.

A unique three-position damping adjustment allows the R 5 Arreté to be matched precisely to any type of amplifier. The result is perfect bass control and tonal balance, in any system, in any room.

Each cabinet is designed, engineered and hand-built in Denmark. The narrow front baffle minimises edge diffraction for a more precise and transparent soundstage. The new Arreté plinth, together with its precision-milled spikes and integrated decoupling system, eliminate unwanted resonance at its source.

Every surface is treated to an exceptional standard, combining the warmth of carefully selected real wood veneers with an enduring quality. The R 5 Arreté is available in Black Piano, White Silk, African Mahogany Piano, and Italian Walnut. Custom paint finishes are available on request.

“We can’t wait to play a pair of R 5 Arretés at the StereoNET show. The beautiful speakers will be the voice of our super system. I know that our visitors are going to love both what they hear and see.” said Renaissance Managing Director John Carroll. “It will be a masterclass in sound, styling and design.”

The StereoNET Show takes place on 12–13 September 2026 at the Radisson RED Hotel, London Heathrow UB7 0DU Renaissance will be in the Johnson Suite. Admission is free, although visitors are required to register in advance.
