Swan Diva R3 surround / effects loudspeaker
A high output onwall surround / effects speaker
The Swan Diva R3 is a powerful on-wall loudspeaker pair that shares the style, cabinet and finishes, and sound quality of all of the models in the classic Swan Diva line of high-performance loudspeakers. At over fifty pounds a pair, the R3 should not be confused with ordinary on-wall surround speakers - it's one of the few suitable models for the complete high performance, high output Diva theater system.
The Swan R3's dual 6.5" (165mm) midwoofers and soft dome tweeters are joined with computer optimized crossover networks for the open, dynamic performance you expect from Diva. Twin mounting fixtures, included, clip to the back of each R3 speaker and make on-wall installation a breeze.
- Bipolar configuration
- Over twenty five pounds each
- Two available finishes
- Removable, opaque black knit grilles
- Wall brackets included
Georgeous Diva looks available in two finish options
Hand-rubbed black lacquer gives the R3 the same rich, opulent look as the other models, completing your handsome, classic, all-Diva loudspeaker system. The R3 comes in original Rosewood or in economy Faux Black Cherry vinylwrap finish (the R3BC). Both use identical hand-laid bentwood cabinets, drivers, internal components, removable coutoured black knit grilles, and hand-rubbed piano black lacquer end caps.
Either way, the very high value, high performance Swan Diva R3 has a fine look to match its great sound. With thousands shipped, the R3 and R3BC remain the benchmark performers in their class for reference surround loudspeakers.
Swan Diva technology
Tweeter
All original Swan Diva main speakers use an A-grade, hand-selected high performance 28mm Danish style soft dome tweeter (effects speakers use a 25mm version.) This device was pioneered by Swan for Internet-direct channels and has stood the test of time. Diva starts with a German silk dome, and adds a Neodymium motor, ferrofluid voice coil cooling, and open-baffle mounting. The end result is an exclusive marriage of technology and engineering that gives Swan Diva high frequencies the neutral, open, spacious, and relaxed sound they've become famous for. The 28mm Diva dome tweeter also has very high power handling, very wide dynamic range, and excellent dispersion, features rarely found in Internet-direct distribution. in this class
Midrange / Midbass
Original Swan Diva series loudspeakers at The Audio Insider include either a unique aluminum / magnesium inverted dish midbass driver or a special midrange of another type depending on intended use. The C3 center channel speaker uses Swan's 50mm high-output, wide-dispersion dome with Neodymium motor. The top of the line 6.1 relies on a special Kevlar / cellulose cone with phasing plug and linear suspension.
Each model features Swan's trademark low-distortion motors, which are unique in-class. The end result is a balanced combination of power, output, and clean, effortless dynamics that's been proven over many years and across thousands of cutomers.
Woofers
The original Swan Diva loudspeakers also originated the use of Swan's distinctive inverted-dish seamless alloy cones in either 5.25", 6.5", or 8" sizes. Swan-developed motor technology - lower in distortion than anything in the class - forms the heart of these excellent low frequency drivers. Combined with long throw, linear suspensions, and ultra-rigid alloy cone material and one-piece profile, Diva series bass response is exceptional. Large cabinets mean ample clean bass extension; in fact, Swan Diva is regarded as offering more loudspeaker size, weight, and acoustical horsepower than anything at Diva's prices.
Crossover networks
All Diva models, whether the new X.2 series or original classic X.1 series, rely on in-house crossover assemblies - Swan is highly vertically integrated and makes most components from proprietary designs, including drivers and crossover components, together with linear-wound, heavy-gage air core inductors. High-grade polypropylene capacitors round out these circuits, and all designs are formulated and tuned in the largest test chamber in the East.
Cabinets
No great speaker is complete without a complimenting enclosure and Swans Diva is no different. Each Diva cabinet is comprised of individual hand-laid strakes applied to a series of CNC-milled internal bulkheads. The final enclosure is finished in either multiple coats of lacquer over spectacular pair-matched Rosewood, or in the case of Faux Black Cherry models, in economical PVC simulated wood. Glossy piano black endcaps complete either variety of Diva cabinetry and give the speakers a rich, opulent, furniture grade look and feel. A Swan Diva is an audio investment that not only lasts a very long time, but holds its value and always returns a sense of owner pride.
