Audiovector Trapeze RI – A Loudspeaker That Stages Music with Intention
Step into the music with a loudspeaker that acts more like a living instrument than a mechanical device. The Audiovector Trapeze R I is a Danish icon, reimagined. First introduced in 1979, now rebuilt from the ground up with 45 years of engineering evolution. It doesn’t just play your music—it gives it presence, tone, and space to breathe.
Why the Trapeze R I Stands Apart
A Classic Reinvented for Today
This is more than a retro revival. The Trapeze R I uses a trapezoidal cabinet to reduce internal reflections and align driver phase—resulting in exceptional clarity, scale, and timing. Visually arresting and sonically commanding, it's a true center-stage loudspeaker.
Immersive Bass That Moves with Precision
A powerful 12" front-firing woofer combines with an internally mounted 8" isobaric driver in a compound configuration—creating bass that is deep, agile, and musically articulate. This design enhances control and eliminates bloom, even at low volumes.
A Midrange with Soul
The 5" carbon midrange driver uses a concertina surround and open-back design to breathe life into vocals and instruments. Every breath, bow stroke, and piano hammer feels tactile and human.
Treble with Air, Speed, and Nuance
The open-back Audiovector AMT tweeter is a marvel—hand-built for speed and accuracy, it produces sparkle and space without harshness. Cymbals shimmer, strings float, and imaging becomes near holographic.
Freedom Grounding & Damping Control
With Audiovector’s Freedom Grounding technology, electrical noise is drained away for a blacker background. A switchable damping selector lets you tailor performance for tubes or solid-state—unlocking synergy without compromise.
