Davone Solo-R
The Solo celebrates its 10-year anniversary with the new Solo-R. And the R is not just a small update; it borrows technology directly from the Davone Reference line. Their highly regarded tweeter has been equipped with an aluminum-magnesium alloy dome for the Solo. Combined with a new midrange featuring an interwoven Kevlar/Carbon fibre cone and the 8” reinforced aluminum woofer, the Solo-R yields Reference resolution and imaging in its own, unique way.

Controlled Directivity
When listening to a loudspeaker in a room, you are in fact listening to the sum of the direct sound and the sound that is reflected by the walls, ceiling and floor. Therefore it is important to control how a loudspeaker radiates the music into a room. Physics tells us that the larger a loudspeaker driver is compared to the wavelength, the more forward-only the sound will travel. For example, at the cross-over between a large mid-range driver and a small dome tweeter, the mid-range radiates mainly forward and the tweeter radiates in all directions. But this discontinuity in the off-axis response means that the reflected sound is not linear. Which in turn means that the sound you hear is not linear. It is distorted.The graphs above shows the off-axis response for the Solo, from 0 degrees (forward) to 90 degrees (sideward), relative to the forward response curve. The Solo cabinet, drivers, membrane material and cross over together deliver a very smooth off-axis response for the Solo. This means the response in the room will be linear and music will sound as intended.

Trickle Down
The Solo R recreates the highly acclaimed Reference line sound, yet stays true to its original design. The relative size of the drivers and their placement in the cabinet remains unchanged. Yet their individual qualities have been further enhanced. The new 25mm dome combines extremely low mass with an ultrasonic first breakup mode due to the variable-thickness aluminum-magnesium alloy. It shares its excellent transient response, high efficiency, and ultra-low distortion with its Reference line partner. The 4” midrange driver features a new carbon fiber membrane, mixed with Kevlar, for low mass, rigidity, and damping, optimal for midrange reproduction. The 8” woofer is optimized for large excursions and uses a geometrically reinforced aluminum cone for pistonic behavior. The relative driver sizes and cabinet placement help control directivity and minimize the effect of the first ground reflection. Finally, the crossover merges the individual drivers together into a carefully balanced system.
