DIEPPE, New-Brunswick, Canada—APRIL 11, 2018—RUEL® will unveil the R+ at the AXPONA Chicago April 13-15. The new RUELaudio sound system redefines the way that speakers are made, with a fantastic quality of sound and a beautiful design.
“The R+ is our contribution to the music industry, and what we’ve done, and we love doing this at RUEL, is we decided just to start over. “ said Thierry RUEL, RUEL’s founder and inventor.
“The new R+ is a quite remarkable engineering achievement. It really represents just a complete revolution in the way that speakers are made. And traditionally speakers are made from multiple types of speaker drivers, but the problem is when we have different drivers and crossovers you add complexity and you increase the opportunity for distortion, and the huge breakthrough that we had with the R+ was to replace all of those parts with just one part. We figured out a way to make the R+ fundamentally simpler, more accurate, and with a quality of sound that we’ve never ever dream of before. And the only way to make this happen was to create a vertical line of sound.”
“When you start using it, when you start listening to your favorite music on it, it becomes so much more than just a speaker. We’ve refined and refined every detail in the service of the music, just to get rid of any distraction, if something is not in the recording, it’s not there. I don’t know how we could make something anymore transparent, any simpler than the new R+. “
Good sound at only one sweet spot, difficulty to set a sound level appropriate for everyone, uneven sound quality... With RUEL, those are things of the past.
Some say that the R+ is the closest headphones' sound without headphones, what we love about the RUEL technology is the wonderful sharing experience you get.
It provides an even sound level throughout the room. It reproduces all frequencies from the low E string of a bass to the highest pitch we can hear. It is one-way and is free from distortion usually produced by crossovers and multi-way systems. It is modular, easy to ship and set up, and it is beautiful. The R+ is the only modular, full range, one-way, line source loudspeaker.
The R+ system is a modular system available from 7 to 10 modules high, times two for left and right channel. Users can easily set up the system : 14 to 20 modules (stacked together, no cables to plug) + the system controller and 2 speaker cables. A unique elegant design which comes in 3 choices of color: Red Passion, Dream White and Golden Brown.
The system features an analog input (XLR or Jack, balanced or unbalanced), 2x S/ PDIF inputs, and USB DAC.
