The MAX launches new monster speaker system from BG Corp (2/11/2005)

Forget the monsters in the closet - BG's new R-800 gives you monsters in the wall

The new ribbon driver technology unveiled by BG Corp at CEDIA in Indianapolis this year is now available in the UK through THE MAX with this awesome system incorporating a pair of R-800 in-wall speakers and an amplifier. Complete with new ribbon driver technology, a massive machined aluminium front baffle and an active LF section, the Radia R-800 represents the finest design and engineering technology ever available in an architectural loudspeaker.

At the heart of the R-800 is BG's all new, patent pending Neo10 - a 10" X 5" planar ribbon midrange driver based on the company's proprietary technology. Significantly larger in size than typical ribbon drivers, the Neo10 sets new standards for sensitivity, output, power handling and accuracy. In fact, the driver's size allows it to move substantial amounts of air while keeping diaphragm excursion at relatively low levels. Controlled excursion translates into lower distortion and higher sensitivity while providing remarkable resolution, clarity and linear response.

Anchoring the R-800 system is an impressive low frequency section, comprised of dual 8" long throw woofers and a dedicated dual channel 1000 watt amplifier (BGCA-2500) incorporating BASH technology. The woofers, located at the top and bottom of a massive machined aluminum front baffle, utilize innovative technology that features a unique motor structure yielding twice the linear excursion of a conventional woofer. This results in significantly lower distortion, wider dynamics and greatly improved performance. The combination of the BGA-2500 amplifier and twin long throw woofers delivers low frequency performance not previously achieved inside of a wall.
