A music centre for the 21st Century

One glance at R4 and you’ll desire one! Listen and this emotion grows stronger because R4 produces a quality of sound that you simply will not expect from such an attractive and compact design.
Comprising a multi format CD player, iPod dock, USB playback port, DAB/FM tuner and auxiliary inputs allied to a powerful amplifier/speaker system the R4 is in many ways a traditional music centre, though one designed and engineered for the 21st Century. With no wires other than a power lead to worry about simply plug R4 into a suitable mains socket and within minutes you’ll have beautiful room filling sound that that will satisfy even the most discerning listener.

Through careful design we endeavour to make the operation of our products as easy as possible. Just select the mode you require on our custom RotoDial interface and all R4 and iPod functions can be intuitively controlled. Exclusively for R4 we’ve taken our RotoDial concept a stage further so if desired it can be detached and also function as a fantastic remote-control. With its superb tactile design it is totally unique and sitting on your coffee table it will be a guaranteed talking point.

At Vita Audio we design and develop every aspect of our products here in the UK to create what we believe are the finest available. As an example, most compact systems use amplifier chipsets for simplicity and cost, but for R4 we developed our own Class A-B amplifiers using discrete component technology. This method is normally only used in high quality audio separates, but to obtain the best performance this was the only option to give the ‘Hi-Fidelity’ sound we desired. With careful sound optimization and 3D sound processing, instruments and voices are reproduced with clarity and realism in a soundscape that truly belies the R4’s compact dimensions.
