Overview
The Type-R’s class-leading excursion and stable structure offers real-world reduction in power compression. This provides increased bass performance output, as well as a consistent, clean, and distortion-free sound at nearly any listening level. The woofer cone is made of a multi-layered hybrid fiber that delivers powerful and uncolored vocal performance and musicality. These speakers perform with clarity and almost perfect balance under continuous power demands.
The new smaller Neodymium Magnet on the Type-R series allows the total speaker dimensions to be smaller. Not only do you get better performance and control, the compact size makes them easier to install in a wider variety of vehicles. Plus, they are much lighter than typical designs using standard magnet technology.
Traditional speaker frame designs rely on steel making them larger and heavier. The new Type-R series uses a revolutionary HD Polymer frame making the speaker stronger, lighter, and easier to install.
The Type-R series continues its legendary reputation for power handling capabilities. One reason is Alpine’s patented Linear Drive Motor. It uses a square-wire voice coil that is a large 30mm diameter, driven by a small, powerful neodymium magnet. This unique design provides linear motion over an extremely wide excursion, efficiently turning your amplifier’s power into great sound. At high volumes, when other speakers give up, Type-R’s Linear Drive Motor keeps on producing high quality output.
The coaxial models feature a 1" swivel ring tweeter to improve off-axis response in less than ideal installation locations. You can aim it by hand for best sound balance and staging, pointing at the optimum listening position.
Resonance Absorbers are used to ensure "focused" tonal playback, eliminating unwanted reverberating sound.
Ultra Low Distortion Magnet Design uses extra copper and large neodymium magnet is used to create accurate speaker control, ensuring low distortion and high tonal accuracy.
New shape & cone materials are used in the Type-R series. The cone uses a combination of thick top-coated varnish, special fibers and glue, and rigorous pressure testing to ensure a lighter and strong material for smooth consistent performance.
A large flat copper wounding is used for high power handling and fluid movement during music playback. This contributes great sound and durable performance from the speaker.
