The R1 loudspeaker offers exceptional sound quality and value for money when incorporated in either a budget system or a more expensive hi-fi system. It’s accurate low frequency and very even, and extended high quality treble generate a well balanced enjoyable performance and it is precisely these attributes which set the R1 apart from the competition, producing an extremely versatile, dynamic and musical sound.

Driver units
All drivers are produced in house to Rega’s exact specifications.

The R1 loudspeaker uses our classic RR125 midrange drive unit. This offers excellent damping of cone resonance's, resulting in a smooth midrange response, giving the bass seamless integration and exceptional timing without compromising any of the midrange and treble performance which Rega is renowned for.

Sound and set-up
The drive units in the R1 have been designed with great care. The crossover needs no additional filter networks to compensate for drive unit problems. Unlike most manufacturers who boast about the complexity of their crossover’s, Rega are proud of of the simplicity of theirs. This simplicity means that bi-amping will offer no advantage.

The R1 has an unusually even bass response for a small loudspeaker. This allows them to be mounted directly onto the wall, or alternatively to be placed on shelves or stands, allowing the user greater variation in positioning than normal.

Cabinet Design
With emphasis on sound quality and dynamics the styling compliments rather than stands out. However, the design of the R1 is particularly radical and quite a departure from accepted norms. It’s sleek lines are subtle, it’s dimensions inoffensive and slim. The R1 utilises these styling que’s from the flagship speaker the R9 bringing a fresh, lively and modern style throughout the range.

Rega has worked hard on achieving a dynamic, stylish and most of all enjoyable loudspeaker. We think you will agree when you audition the R1 that it is one of the finest loudspeaker systems on the market.
