Conceived,
designed, engineered, and manufactured in North Carolina, USA.
Role Audio loudspeakers are designed to anticipate the needs
of 21st century audiophiles, music lovers, and theater buffs.
Designed for use in stereo, multi-channel audio, and home theater
systems, Role Audio loudspeakers are small, potent, and elegant.
And while we pay attention to decorator issues, these loudspeakers
achieve or surpass the holy grails of audiophile loudspeaker
design. They are point source, time coherent, first order crossover
designs for the utmost accuracy in sound reproduction.
Magnetic Shielding
Our Drivers are magnetically
shielded to prevent interference with equipment that use cathode
ray tubes such as TVs and computer screens. This is essential
in an age marked by convergence between stereo and home theater
systems.
Cabinet Design
The design and construction
of loudspeaker cabinets play a critical role in determining the
quality of the sound. Our cabinets are designed to meet tolerances
that are among the highest in the industry. Unlike most loudspeaker
manufacturers, all our cabinets are manufactured in-house
and hand finished. This allows the highest level of quality
control. And because our cabinets are not manufactured by
an outside entity which has to turn at least a 100% profit,
we are able to pass on considerable cost savings to our customers
and to provide them with some of the best constructed and most
beautiful loudspeaker cabinets for the price.
Black cabinets feature a satin
lacquer hand painted finish that blends well with the black finishes
typically found on TV sets. Wood finishes feature high grade
wood veneers laid on top of MDF or expensive plywood finished
to enhance the natural beauty of the wood. Black and wood finished
cabinets feature rounded edges to enhance imaging.
Loudspeaker Electronic Circuits
All our loudspeakers
feature minimalist, first-order, transient perfect crossovers
in order to preserve the timing and timbre of the sound source.
Our loudspeakers use high quality laminated or perfect lay air
core coils, full value film foil capacitors, and metal oxide
resistors. Regardless of the price of the loudspeaker the crossover
components and drivers are the highest quality in order to produce
the Role Audio sonic signature.
Internal Wireing
We use DH Labs Silver Sonic wire to ensure the most transparent
transfer of musical signals to our tweeters and custom multistrand
oxygen free copper wire to our woofers to ensure excellent bass
response.
Terminals
We use genuine Superior five-way binding posts described
by one reviewer this way: "Superior posts are truly the
finest posts available. They may lack the neoindustrial look
of an all metal post, but they are better in every other respect
including strength, sonics, durability and suitability of virtually
every type of connector. Be aware of poor imitations, but once
you use these posts you'll have a very hard time being happy
with any other design."
