Pioneer Corp will release a new high-end speaker TAD Reference One (TAD-R1) in early April aimed at audiophiles and professional musicians. The TAD-R1 is a 3-way speaker system developed keeping in mind TAD's speaker design philosophy of accurate sound reproduction. The new speaker uses a vibration board made with a special material unique to Pioneer. Because the midrange speaker and tweeter are arranged coaxially, sound attenuates cleanly across the entire spectrum. The speaker can generate clear, precise sound over an extremely wide range of 8.5 octaves.

The new Pioneer TAD Reference One Speakers measures 554 mm (W) ×1293 mm (H) ×698 mm(D) and weighs 150kg (1Unit).The new speakers will be available for approximately 3,150,000 Yen ($25,900).
