1Introduction

Your Rega R1 bookshelf loudspeaker has been

designed to be effective, easy to use, and above

all, to reproduce music.

The R1 uses our signature mid range drive unit,

the RR125. This unit offers greatly improved

damping of cone resonances, resulting in a

smoother midrange response. Its accurate low

frequency combined with a very even, high quality

treble unit generates a well balanced, enjoyable

performance. It is these attributes which set the R1

apart from the competition, producing an

extremely versatile, dynamic and musical sound.

Siting of the R1’s.

The R1 has an unusually even bass response for

a small loudspeaker. This allows them to be

mounted directly onto the wall, or alternatively to

be placed on shelves or stands, allowing the user

greater variation in positioning than normal.

Bi-Wiring and Bi-Amping

The drive units in the R1 have been designed with

great care. The crossover needs no additional

filter networks to compensate for drive unit

problems. Unlike most manufacturers who boast

about the complexity of their crossovers, Rega are

proud of the simplicity of theirs. This means that bi-

wiring will offer no advantage, and will often give

worse results at an additional cost.

Plugs and Cables

We recommend using good quality speaker cable

such as our own, 'Quattro' or 'SC42'. Very

expensive leads claiming to use special materials

and technologies are not recommended. Cable

lengths to either speaker must be kept to a similar

length. Never join cables together to increase their

length.

4Assembly

Unpack the speakers from the box. Please do not

re-tighten the screws on the drive units. They are

fitted to a measured torque and over tightening will

strip the thread.

The grills are easily removed and applied, we

recommend their use to prevent damage and long

term build up of dust especially on the high

frequency unit.
