ACOUSTIC RESEARCH STATUS S40

Success isn't a destination, it's a process.

Since inventing the modern home loudspeaker in 1952, Acoustic Research knows that every new achievement builds upon the last. Because success results from pushing the envelope of possibilities, AR introduces it's innovative Stature series.

Designed with a sharp focus on home theater, Stature's five loudspeaker models elegantly combine understated sophistication with the sonic excellence that defines AR's reputation. A slim profile, compact footprint and black woodgrain finish give Stature loudspeakers a smart, urbane presence that seamlessly integrates into contemporary, transitional and eclectic decor styles.

Compatible with the latest - and anticipated - home theater technology, the Stature loudspeaker family is engineered for optimum performance in a multichannel sound system, and fully shielded for interference-free use near the television. AR's distinctive audio engineering ensures that Stature meets or exceeds Dolby® Digital specification for frequency response. Stature's five-year warranty attests to our confidence in the quality of this remarkable line.

Every fine loudspeaker line has its own sonic signature. Stature's consistent driver complement produces unparalleled warmth and natural tonality for a breathtaking listening experience that creates fresh excitement with each new cinematic adventure. High sensitivity ratings result in lifelike performance levels with a wide variety of receivers ranging from entry-level to high-end. Base reflex enclosure design maximizes low frequency efficiency for authoritative bass that immerses you in the movie's reality.

AR's Stature represents loudspeakers that you can build upon as your A/V equipment or space requirements change.
 


 

The 2-way Stature S40 tower loudspeaker's intelligent engineering permits equal success at lifelike music and movie soundtrack reproduction. Its 1" silk dome tweeter is placed between dual 6 1/2" woofers on a baffle - a design that provides the proper balance for high frequency music sounds to ensure a satisfying listening experience from any location in the room. The design also allows the restricted vertical dispersion required for movie soundtracks while creating a soundstage that's full, detailed and expansive. Like the S50, this model is equipped with bi-amp and bi-wire connections, and rubber-tipped "feet."
