RBH Sound Redefines "Reference Level Audio" With Four New Freestanding Models

September 5, 2007

RBH Sound unveiled four new models for their Signature Reference series at their sound room and booth at CEDIA Expo in Denver, CO. The four models unveiled at the show were the T-1/R, T-2/R, T-3/R and the 1010-SE/R. The T-1/R, T-2/R and T-3/R modular speakers are reference versions of the Signature Series T-1, T-2 and T-3 models, and the 1010-SE/R is a reference version of the Signature Series 1010-SEP subwoofer. RBH Sound incorporated higher performance drivers and redesigned crossover networks to improve upon the award-winning platform of the Signature Series T System. The tweeters were upgraded with extremely high performance tweeters with a larger motor structure, increased power handling and improved resolution. The woofers which give the Signature Series its great bass to upper-midrange performance were upgraded to an exclusive RBH Sound aluminum cone woofer featuring a fixed phase plug. The use of a fixed-position phase plug extends the frequencies these drivers are capable of reproducing, resulting in increased sonic clarity. Crossover network components were then modified to manage the higher quality driver components, providing increased audio quality and power handling. The foundation of the Signature Reference T System, the 1010-SE/R powered subwoofer is an enhanced version of the reputable Signature Series 1010-SEP powered subwoofer. The 1010-SE/R’s feature-laden, integrated 500 Watt amplifier delivers almost 50% more power than the 1010-SEP’s amplifier, thoroughly feeding the upgraded, power hungry dual 10-inch long-throw aluminum cone woofers. To reduce port noise and increase the subwoofers’ output capability, the standard 3-inch aerovent was replaced with a 4-inch diameter dimpled aerovent. The net result of these upgrades is exceptionally accurate and heart-stopping bass performance down to an amazing 18Hz! The T-1/R modular speaker sports four 6½-inch woofers and three 1-inch tweeters in a dispersion-averaging alignment; this speaker features superior audio quality and higher power handling over the T-1, its Signature Series cousin. Due to its design and driver layout, the T-1/R is suited for use as the left, center or right channels in a home theater system. The T-1/R furnishes it’s listeners with exceptional fidelity and detail, and is designed for the discriminating audio enthusiast who takes a no-compromise attitude with their audio system. A T-1/R mounted atop a 1010-SE/R combine to create the reference-grade T-2/R. To lock these two models together, RBH Sound uses a custom, black powder-coated clamp and footing system. Increased audio quality and higher power handling are just two of the enhancements the T-2/R has over the Signature Series T-2. The 1010-SE/R’s long-throw subwoofers increase the T-2/R’s bass accuracy, frequency range and overall output capability while the T-1/R supplies refined, reference-level midrange and treble suitable for even the most discriminating enthusiast. Designed for overzealous listeners, the T-2/R is capable of satisfying the fanatic who just can’t seem to get enough of crystal clear, powerful sound. The T-3/R, is a T-1/R ‘sandwiched’ between dual 1010-SE/R powered subwoofers, and represents the epitome of the Signature Reference Series T System. Encompassing the best of what this system has to offer, the towering T-3/R has the capability of knocking you back in your seat, yet it can reproduce the detail in even the softest of whispers. The dual subwoofer sections are used to provide the ultimate in system flexibility, allowing for both full-range and LFE configurations, while the T-1/R faithfully reproduces everything it is sent. A must-have for the audio and home theater connoisseur, the T-3/R is definitely not a speaker for the faint of heart. As with any Signature Series model, the 1010-SE/R, T-1/R, T-2/R and T-3/R are available in 30 beautiful, hand-finished hardwood veneers, allowing the listener to experience the highest level of audio performance in a finish which more than complements their décor. Since each of these models are built in the USA and not on a foreign assembly line, the veneer finishes usually have a lead time of between 6-8 weeks to produce, and are definitely worth the wait. Each of these new models is available now, and their suggested retail prices are: 1010-SE/R: $2,999/each; T-1/R: $4,299/pair; T-2/R: $10,299.95/pair and the T-3/R: $16,299.95/pair.
