Product Information
Compact and easy to accommodate, the Russell K Red 120 speakers produce a deeply exciting sound, without the bulk.
Compact floorstanders with a powerful heart
Front-ported and compact in size, the Russell K Red 120 speakers are amongst the company’s most room-friendly speakers. If you have a smaller to medium-sized room, them make the way to enjoy the famous Russell K signature sound, without intruding on your living space. Despite their compact size, the Red 120s’ develop impressive bass, making them excel with a wide range of music genres.
Dedicated sub bass driver for full-bodied sound
The Red 120 is a 3-way design with the bottom woofer dedicated to producing the deepest bass notes. Bracing shelves focus the bass, letting it exploit the bass reflex port, without it affecting the critical mid-range. This means that you get the benefit of deep, powerful bass, without it ‘clouding’ vocal and other mid-range instrument performances.
Innovative drive unit loading for natural mid-range
With a shelf at both sides of the woofer unit, mid-range from the driver is contained, with only bass frequencies being able to escape into the cabinet’s full volume. This results in a drastic reduction in mid-range standing waves, meaning that vocals and mid-range instruments sound pure and focused.
Rigid cabinets with minimal damping for agile sound
What makes Russel K speakers unusual is their completely undamped cabinets. Russel K’s research showed that internal damping slowed down and deadened the sound, making it sound out of synch with the drivers. By removing any damping, the sound became fast-paced and agile, just as the original instrument or voice sounded. For minimal distortion, the cabinets are thin-walled and use internal bracing, controlling cabinet flex to diminish ‘boxy’ sound.
Smooth yet detailed top-end response
Using a classic, soft dome tweeter with Faraday distortion cancelling copper ring, the top-end response is crystal-clear and exceptionally detailed. Russel K’s extensive product testing has resulted in a minimalist crossover design with just a single component in each driver’s signal path. Removing as many components as possible from the tweeter’s signal path means that the sound is less compromised and more natural, letting you hear as much detail as possible.
Choice of luxury finishes
For the ideal match for your décor, the Red 120 comes in a range of oak veneer finishes. Chose Black Oak with an off-black baffle for a classic style, Rich Oak with off-black baffle for the best match with warmer room tones or regular, light Oak with a white baffle for a more contemporary style.
Enjoy the benefit of powerful, room-filling sound, without big speaker bulk, with the Russell K Red 120.
