Speakers Sven Royal 2: specifications and reviews

The company Sven belongs to the leaders of the world market of audio equipment - in particular, in the segment of the budget-class speakers. Among the most famous products of the brand in the corresponding category are the Royal 2 solution. These columns can be used both at home and for solving some studio tasks. Moreover, many specialists described the corresponding decision as one of the most effective in its segment, and therefore on its basis an updated version of the speakers was developed - the Royal 2R device. It retained the main technological advantages of the previous version of the columns, as well as a number of noteworthy innovations. What are the main features of the Royal 2 and Royal 2R devices? What are the advantages of these devices?

Appearance of the device

Let's start with an earlier version of the device, with its appearance.

Columns Sven Royal 2 (user reviews can confirm this) are characterized by first-class design level and the highest quality of materials used in finishing the case. It can be noted that the front panel of the speakers is covered with a special piano lacquer, and this, as experts note, is not quite typical for audio devices of the corresponding class.

As for the speakers, the manufacturer also paid much attention to the quality of the materials from which they are made. For example, high-frequency speakers are made of silk, which allows them to ensure the reproduction of sound of the highest quality. However, the user of the speakers should be careful when handling the relevant components. Silk speaker can be easily damaged if careless.

Low-frequency components of the corresponding type are polymeric. According to the manufacturer of the device Sven Royal 2, these dynamics are also characterized by exceptional manufacturability and outstanding acoustic qualities. As part of the low-frequency speaker dynamics, there is also an element for equalizing the phase, due to which the level of distortion of sound is reduced when playing melodies.

In the back of the device there is a button for turning on the speakers, a connector for connecting them to the device that plays the sound, special terminals, through which one speaker is connected to the other. The outlet part of the bass reflex tube is also located here.

On the front panel of the Sven Royal 2 speakers there are keys, through which the audio system is controlled. To adjust the frequency, press the Function button. If necessary, you can reset the device to factory settings by pressing the specified button, then holding it for 3 seconds.

Equipment

Supplied columns Sven Royal 2 in branded boxes. In total in the complete set - 2 dynamics, 1 active, the second - passive. Also in the box are:

- Signal cables;

- acoustic cable;

- warranty card;

- user guide.

It can be noted that the cables supplied with the speakers allow you to connect audio devices to them in a fairly wide range: they can be computers, players or other sound sources that do not have a built-in amplifier. In general, the design of the speakers corresponds to a two-band format, characterized by phase-inverted acoustics.

Scheme Sven Royal 2 includes a group of capacitors having an increased capacitance, as well as a transformer classified as toroidal with a high power. The phase equalizer allows, as experts believe, to significantly improve the characteristics of the speakers, in terms of amplitude-frequency parameters. In addition, the corresponding hardware component allows you to reduce the level of distortion, as well as expand the range of directivity of the sound device.

The left column of the device is active. In its structure there is an amplifier, as well as a power supply. The control unit of the device is completely digital. It has an LED, as well as 3 buttons that are used to adjust the volume of the sound, as well as adjust the frequencies. According to experts, this design is characterized by very high reliability and in many respects surpasses analog solutions for sound control. It should be noted that, in practice, the use of the Sven Royal 2 configuration scheme with 3 buttons has nuances. An unprepared user may find it difficult to apply the appropriate tool.

Main characteristics

Let's study the main characteristics of the device Sven Royal 2. The device has:

- an output power of 40 W;

- high-frequency speaker in diameter 25 mm, low-frequency - 165 mm;

- resistance of 6 Ohm;

- function of magnetic shielding;

- supply voltage of 220 V;

- support of the frequency range from 35 to 20 000 Hz;

- dimensions, which are 210 x 305 x 397 mm;

- weight of 16.9 kg.

In general, the basic capabilities of the device allow you to use it not only at home, but also in some cases as an element of the studio infrastructure. The speakers of Sven Royal 2, the technical characteristics of which we reviewed above and can be evaluated as belonging to the most competitive in the segment, are thus an affordable and versatile solution.

Sound quality

How do Sven Royal 2 speakers evaluate users in terms of the quality of the sound they reproduce? In general, the corresponding functionality of the devices under consideration is characterized exclusively positively: the speakers perfectly reproduce both high and low frequencies. In this case, the sound is reproduced at a sufficient level of its volume.

In general, the speakers allow you to reproduce any practical melodies. Sven Royal 2.0 speakers are especially competitive when listening to symphonic classical music. A sufficiently large speaker allows to reproduce basses with excellent quality with the help of the speakers in question.

No noticeable noises are observed by users and specialists. Noise from the speakers of Sven Royal 2, only if the corresponding sounds are provided for by sound recording. Of course, much depends on its quality. The use of equipment at the level of the speakers in question definitely requires a sound recording with a sufficiently high bit rate. The same can be said about the hardware of the infrastructure used for playing melodies. Connect these columns can to equipment within the widest range.

Therefore, it is important that the capabilities of the players allow us to use the technological advantages of the devices in question. If this is a PC, then its sound card should be at the level, if not studio, then by the basic characteristics comparable to it.

Of course, and the device configuration in terms of setting the optimal frequency parameters should also be made. However, the design of the columns provides all the necessary components for solving this problem.

Sound control: nuances

So, the 2 buttons on the right, in general, are responsible for increasing or decreasing the volume of the sound. But if you press the Function button 2 times, the LED on the sound control panel changes to orange (initially it's green), and 2 other buttons can be used to adjust the bass.

In turn, if you press the Function key 3 times, the LED changes color to red, and using the 2 buttons on the right, you can work with high frequencies.

Connecting third-party devices: what to look for?

Both speakers, which are part of the speakers, have screw terminals that allow you to connect third-party devices with an acoustic cable that has a large cross section. That is, we are talking about the fact that the user has the opportunity to connect the speakers of Sven Royal 2 to powerful professional audio equipment. But to experiment with this device is not worth it: you should connect it only to the infrastructure that has already been tested. Undoubtedly, if the main modules of the device become worn out, and the only prospect of continuing the use of the speakers is the conversion into Sven Royal 2's liability, then in this case you can try to use the device in atypical modes. But while the speakers are functional - you should follow the standard formats of building an infrastructure for sound reproduction.

As experts note, for the columns in question, the reproduction of pure very clean basses is typical - at the level of a studio subwoofer. In this case, it is recommended to install the speakers on special racks: this will reveal their greater potential in terms of providing high quality sound reproduction than when placing devices simply on the floor.

Columns Royal 2: expert evaluations

So, the sound system from Sven in the Royal 2 version refers to multimedia acoustics, allowing to ensure the reproduction of the sound of the highest quality, while observing the optimal balance of frequencies, and also at a sufficient volume level. The device is universal: it can be connected to both a computer and professional audio equipment. Completion of Sven Royal 2 in the selection of optimal settings for frequencies is carried out using a convenient digital control panel (although it takes some time to learn by an inexperienced user).

Many industry publications that write about audio equipment have recognized the Royal 2 speakers as one of the best solutions in their segment. Experts agree with such assessments. The solution from Sven has an excellent potential in terms of playing melodies in any genre, their design - at the level of top-end solutions.

It is therefore not surprising that Sven decided to continue the further technological development of the product. The result of this work was the release of columns in the updated version of Royal 2R. What are the main advantages of this solution? How does it differ from the speakers of Sven Royal 2? An overview of the possibilities of the updated modification of the corresponding device is in the article.

Royal 2R device: main advantages

It is worth noting that the external columns in the modifications of Royal 2 and Royal 2R differ little. So, in a newer version, the speakers have more massive walls of the front of the case. They are covered with polished varnish. The dynamics of the device as a whole are presented in the same structure that characterizes the corresponding hardware components of the previous modification of the speakers. Sound control is carried out with the help of three buttons, as in the version of Royal 2R, the principles of their activation are the same.

The main thing is probably the advantage of the Sven Royal 2R speakers before the previous modification of the device - the presence of a remote control. In the delivery set of the older version, he was absent. Made this remote control from matte plastic, has comfortable rubber buttons. Its functionality almost repeats the one that is available when you use the control panel.

Columns Royal 2R: specifications

Let's consider the key characteristics of the updated version of the columns. The device in question is:

- output power, which is 50 W;

- Tweeter type in the diameter of 25 mm, made of silk, broadband - 165 mm, polymer;

- frequency range from 35 to 25 000 Hz;

- the case made of high-quality fiberboard;

- power transformer, belonging to the class of toroidal;

- function of magnetic shielding;

- installed compensating filters;

- 2 stereo inputs of commutated type;

- dimensions 210 x 397 x 306 mm;

- weight, which is 16.9 kg.

Thus, the capabilities of the version of the device in question are very little more than those that characterize the previous modification of the device. In particular, they are more technologically efficient in terms of frequency and power, but these are important characteristics of the speakers. The quality of the assembly of the device is characterized by specialists as exceptionally high - both at the level of external hardware components, and in terms of the electronic component.

Let's study now what is the effectiveness of the hardware resources of the device in question, in practice - based on tests conducted by experts.

Columns Royal 2R: testing and evaluation of experts

If we talk about playing melodies at low volume, the sound transmission in the corresponding mode is characterized by a deep transfer of vocal frequencies, a clear reproduction of instruments, a high quality of playing basses. In a louder mode, the speakers show the best results when testing. As the experts note, when playing melodies in the widest range of melodies, each instrument is heard perfectly, the same can be said about the vocals.

Excellent columns Sven Royal 2R cope, according to users and experts, with the reproduction of classical music, jazz, rock. Thus, in a newer version of the Sven solution, all the best technologies that were implemented in the previous version of the device are preserved, improved in a number of aspects, and are also supplemented with brand new modules. The main of which, of course, is the control panel, through which the user can quickly set the optimal sound settings on the speakers.
