Introduction

Your Rega R3 loudspeaker has been designed to
be effective, easy to use, and above all, to
reproduce music.

The R3 loudspeaker uses Rega's classic RR125
drive unit. This offers excellent damping of cone
resonances, resulting in a smooth midrange
response. The R3 also benefits from a new single
side firing 5" drive unit, which utilises an 8 layer
voice coil in aluminium rather than copper. This
allows us to eradicate any crossover filters for this
driver giving the bass seamless integration with
the mid range drive unit. This results in exceptional
timing without compromising any of the midrange
and treble performance for which Rega is
renowned.

Siting of the R3

The R3 loudspeaker use a front firing port,
allowing them to be placed against a wall, if
required. The R3 is suitable for all room
environments due to its ease of positioning.

On installation you should experiment with
different positions to find the optimum placement.
Pay particular attention to the side firing drivers.
Different results will be obtained depending on
whether the bass units fire inwards or outwards.

The R3 loudspeakers may be used with or without
grills.
