Sonance R2 – Large Reference In-Wall LCR Speaker

Product Overview

The Sonance R2 is the large Reference Series in-wall LCR speaker, built around a 4th generation coaxial driver and high-excursion woofers. It is intended for larger media rooms and home theaters that need more output and imaging accuracy than the smaller R1 provides.

Product Description

The R2 steps up from the R1 with additional high-excursion woofers around the same 4th generation coaxial driver platform, aiming for accurate imaging and clear dialogue at a larger scale suited to bigger rooms. Its integrated enclosure is designed to reduce sound bleed into adjoining spaces, and the low-profile grille integrates into the surrounding wall for a mostly hidden finish. As part of the Sonance Reference Series, the R2 can be mixed and matched with other Reference in-wall and in-ceiling models, including the matching R2SUR surround, to build a complete home theater layout, and it fits into standard wall construction depths. Pairing the R2 with a Sonance DSP amplifier allows custom tuning, and it is a common choice for the front channels in a larger in-wall speaker theater build.
