Introduction

The R5 loudspeakers have been designed to be
effective, easy to use, and above all to reproduce
music.

The R5 uses a new three-way driver system
developed from our flagship loudspeaker the R9.
One of the more important new features of the R5
is the single side firing 7" bass driver, which
utilises a 6 layer aluminium voice coil preventing
the need for an extra crossover. This helps
produce extremely smooth, low bass frequencies
without compromising any of the midrange and
treble which Rega is renowned for.

Siting of the R5

The R5 loudspeakers use a front firing port
allowing them to be placed right up against a wall,
if required. The R5 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 R5 loudspeakers may be used with or without
grills.
