Connections
The terminal connection
port is attached to the rear
of the cabinet offering
easier access for cable
fitment. Moreover, being on
the outside of the cabinet, it
allows smoother airflow
through the cabinet to the
ports.
Bi-Amping
The Rega R9 Loudspeakers
have twin terminal connections
to allow for bi-amping. This
allows you to use a separate
power amplifier to drive the
tweeter to the bass/mid range,
providing greater separation
and control.
For normal use simply use
either the top or bottom pair of
terminals to drive the tweeter
and bass/mid range.
For bi-amping, remove the
bridging connector's, and use
the bottom pair of terminals to
connect to the high frequency
(HF) tweeter, and the top pair
for the low frequency (LF)
bass/mid range driver.

Attentuation
Linking these terminals will
result in your Rhea
Loudspeaker producing less
bass. This is particularly
useful in smaller rooms.
No Attenuation
Linking these terminals will
result in your Rega R9
Loudspeaker producing its
normal bass frequency levels.
Linking these will

Design
Rega loudspeakers motivated by an
entirely different design philosophy.
The design brief behind the Rega R9
loudspeaker was to create a speaker
that would lead Rega speaker products
in a new direction of improved quality
and performance, including
technologies and design processes not
before used at Rega.
The preferred sound quality from a
loudspeaker is often subject to a degree
of personal opinion. Additionally,
different rooms and different hi-fi
systems will suit different loudspeaker
models. There is also the more
controversial issue of the sound from a
vinyl-sourced system and the different
style of sound from a digitally sourced
system. Likewise, loudspeakers suited
to the reproduction of a more musical
and acoustic style of music may vary in
requirements from the need of technical
and electronic studio productions.
Rega loudspeakers are designed to
meet real domestic and musical needs,
whilst obtaining the absolute best
possible sound quality from a specific
design. No loudspeaker will produce
perfect sounds from all source
material, in any system in any room, or
suit all tastes all of the time.
However, over the two years of
development the Rega R9 loudspeaker
has been created with the utmost care
and consideration, not just for its sound
quality but also its environment; trying
to blend good design with superb
acoustics.
