AVANTERA RQ
New Technologies for Greater Precision, Dynamics and Control
Have you ever experienced the full dynamic range of a grand concert piano live? From the delicate pianissimo, as light as a drifting feather, to powerful attacks that seem to make the steel strings almost burst. This sheer dynamic force, the pianoforte, the virtuoso interplay between loud and soft, creates profound emotion.
Music can unleash tremendous energy – and in the very next moment retreat to an almost imperceptible detail. These extreme contrasts are precisely what makes a great recording so fascinating, while at the same time presenting one of the greatest challenges for a loudspeaker.
The new AVANTERA RQ is designed to reproduce this entire musical spectrum with extraordinary ease and naturalness. With RECOTec and Q-SET, it incorporates two key technologies from the latest Audio Physic generation, further expanding its already outstanding capabilities.
RECOTec – Music with Even Greater Precision and Openness
In the new AVANTERA RQ, the tweeter, midrange and mid/bass drivers feature the latest RECOTec diaphragms. The special carbon-matrix fabric combines exceptionally high rigidity with excellent internal damping.
This allows the drivers to reproduce even the smallest movements of the musical signal with remarkable precision. Particularly in complex passages, this results in outstanding transparency and a clear spatial presentation. Voices effortlessly detach themselves from the loudspeakers, instruments retain their individual character, and even the finest structures within a recording remain clearly discernible.
The AVANTERA RQ does not reveal its qualities only at high listening levels. Even at moderate volume, the music remains fully present and finely differentiated. Subtle dynamic gradations and the finest details are not lost. At the same time, there is sufficient headroom for major musical peaks, allowing even extreme changes in level to be reproduced effortlessly and with complete control.
The result is an exceptionally wide dynamic range, allowing the AVANTERA RQ to convey both the intimacy of a quiet passage and the energy of a powerful musical climax with equal credibility.
Q-SET – When the Bass Adapts to the Room
The AVANTERA RQ also features Q-SET technology, which offers a decisive advantage, particularly in the low-frequency range. The mid/bass drivers and woofers are equipped with dual voice coils, enabling precise adjustment of the bass response.
The Q-SET switches on the rear panel allow the low-frequency reproduction to be tailored to the speaker’s placement. This enables the AVANTERA RQ to maintain its exceptional bass control even when positioned close to walls or in corners.
Q-SET is not simply about having “more” or “less” bass. What matters is achieving the right balance between extension, precision and control. This allows the loudspeaker to make confident use of its enormous low-frequency potential, even in acoustically challenging rooms.
The result is bass that reaches deep without becoming intrusive – fast, precise and with exactly the effortless naturalness that is essential to authentic music reproduction.
Silence as the Foundation for Dynamics
The technological advancement, however, is not limited to the drivers. As with every Audio Physic loudspeaker, the AVANTERA RQ has been consistently designed to ensure that as little as possible from the cabinet itself influences the reproduction.
The drivers, crossover networks, connection terminal and bracing are mechanically decoupled from the cabinet. Unwanted vibrations and micro-vibrations are thereby effectively reduced.
This mechanical silence creates the foundation for the exceptional dynamics of the AVANTERA RQ. Only when the cabinet itself does not become part of the performance can the drivers transfer the energy of the musical signal into the room without coloration.
From the Finest Nuance to the Concert Hall
A large AVANTERA has always been a loudspeaker for music without limits. The new AVANTERA RQ takes this concept to its logical next level.
It can reproduce a voice or a single instrument with great intimacy and fine detail – and in the very next moment unleash the full energy of an orchestra, a rock concert or an electronic beat. Even at high listening levels, it remains controlled and composed, while at lower volumes it preserves its exceptional transparency and musical differentiation.
It is precisely this ability to move effortlessly between intimacy and dynamics, between the quietest nuance and tremendous energy, that defines the special character of the AVANTERA RQ.
With RECOTec for a new level of precision and transparency and Q-SET for controlled, room-adjustable low-frequency reproduction, it combines state-of-the-art driver technology with the uncompromising Audio Physic philosophy.
A loudspeaker that steps back so that the music can come forward all the more.
Nothing but Music
