The ProAc Response D48R is a flagship floorstanding loudspeaker designed for discerning audiophiles. It features a two-way system with a lightweight ribbon tweeter—lighter than a human hair—for exceptional high-frequency detail and rear chamber damping. Twin 165mm (6.5") studio monitor-grade woofers with special impregnated cones deliver fast, controlled, and extended bass, as well as rich midrange detail. The bitumen-dampened MDF cabinet and down-firing bass-reflex port ensure minimal resonance and easy room placement. The D48R's high-quality crossover network allows for bi-wiring and bi-amping, and its large, slim design produces a superbly wide and precise soundstage, excelling with both orchestral and rock music. Available in a range of premium finishes, the D48R is celebrated for its ability to disappear sonically while delivering the scale and authority of much larger speakers.
