Description

The ARC Audio RS1.0 is a flagship tweeter purpose-built for audiophiles who demand absolute clarity, precision, and realism from their high-frequency stage. Whether installed in a custom A-pillar, tucked into a factory sail panel, or showcased in a competition-level dash pod, the RS1.0 brings your music to life with extraordinary detail—without the ultra-premium price.

Every element of the RS1.0 was developed through a partnership between ARC Audio’s in-house engineering team and world-renowned speaker engineers in Denmark. The result is a 25mm silk-dome tweeter that combines hand-crafted refinement with real-world flexibility for today’s most advanced DSP-controlled systems.

Its fine-woven silk diaphragm captures the nuance and emotion of every performance—translating harmonic overtones and ambient details with effortless transparency. At its heart, a high-strength neodymium motor assembly and secondary bucking magnet intensify magnetic flux while maintaining perfect control across the driver’s range. The addition of a large copper shorting ring reduces inductance and distortion, preserving upper-octave smoothness even at elevated listening levels.

A cast aluminum housing surrounds a tuned rear acoustic chamber, lowering the tweeter’s resonance to just 900Hz. This allows seamless integration in 2-way or 3-way active systems—whether you're pairing it with the RS3.0, RS4.0, or RS6.0 midranges. Integrated thermal relief venting helps keep the motor cool under pressure, making the RS1.0 a reliable performer for long listening sessions or competition use, and still gets with the program when you demand that old school high-output jam sessions while traveling down the highway.

Flexibility is built in. The removable outer mounting ring allows the RS1.0 to adapt between standard and ISO-style installs, while its compact form factor (as shallow as 1.163") makes it easy to fit into tight OEM locations or sleek custom panels.

Each tweeter pair is individually tested and hand-matched for acoustic balance and mechanical compliance—ensuring the stereo image you create is not only accurate, but breathtaking.

With the RS1.0, ARC Audio has redefined what a premium tweeter can be: elegant, engineered, and ready for those who refuse to settle for less than everything their music has to offer.
