New Rega Kyte speakers
Immerse yourself in the astonishingly natural sound of the Kyte speaker system. Meticulously designed to deliver the true Rega sound at an affordable price. Using our own ZRR high-frequency transducer unit and a pair of handmade Rega MX-125 mid-range and bass transducers, this compact monitor-style speaker is designed to complement any high-fidelity audio system.
Experience the true sound of Rega components with the new Kyte speaker system. Kyte speakers are meticulously assembled by hand in the factory using our unique phenolic resin enclosure.
Internally, they feature ceramic plates and carefully designed cross-bracing to make the enclosure extremely rigid. This prevents unwanted resonances from interfering with the precise output of the transducer units and directly improves both the dynamics and bass performance of the speaker.
Kyte speakers are easy to place and come with an optional support stand to allow for various positions, giving the user greater flexibility in their placement.
Rega fans will know that we have always questioned the marketing and science surrounding turntables. Experiments and research have allowed us to debunk the most common beliefs and use real engineering to produce an unrivalled sound quality at reasonable prices. However, the speaker market is very different because there is a valid scientific and engineering discipline that in turn has created hundreds of competitors in the speaker market.
The success of many speakers depends on powerful marketing, dazzling advertising budgets (of which Rega spends zero) and a financial incentive for retailers. The funds that most speaker companies would spend on marketing, Rega has invested entirely in research and development to achieve completely unique enclosure constructions and our own high-frequency transducer unit and mid/bass transducer (which incorporates a four-layer copper coil). We even manufacture and wind our crossover filter components in-house.
So, why make the enclosure from a phenolic resin compound? Historically, the accepted perception of a speaker was a rectangular wood-veneered enclosure to complement the wooden furniture in the home.
The market has always demanded that speakers be furniture, and since the 90s, European manufacturers were left with the option of manufacturing in the Far East or inflated prices for home-made wooden cabinets. However, in recent times the world has changed perceptions of style and there has been a wholesale investment in modern moulding shapes and the use of functional materials.
Injection-moulded plastic speaker enclosures are not new, but flexible moulded plastic has been reserved for the world of portable devices or small desktop speakers where convenience and portability were a priority over sound performance.
This more recent national acceptance of functional shapes of non-wooden enclosures has allowed Rega to achieve a long-term dream.
We have made a huge investment in the injection moulding of rigid thermosetting phenolic resin and we collaborate with a British company to achieve it. The natural rigidity of phenolic resin is a great advantage that has been further improved with ceramic plates and a complex internal cross-bracing structure.
These unique enclosure constructions have been achieved at a third of the price of other quality speakers manufactured in Great Britain.
