Building on the strengths of our award winning R2 our
new R2i Tabletop Stereo embodies our principles of performance &
design in a beautifully crafted package that sounds & looks sublime.
With a new DAB/DAB+/FM tuner, universal iPod
dock & auxiliary inputs, R2i is now a complete music
solution & perfect for customers seeking high quality audio
reproduction in small to medium sized settings.
integrated iPod
dock & Roto Dial Controller
The enclosure of R2i is machined & h&-crafted from materials
chosen for their exceptional acoustic properties & finished in Rich
Walnut veneer or Dream White & Midnight Black high gloss lacquers.
These finishes combine perfectly with the cool steel panels & mesh
grilles to create a tactile feel to match R2i’s elegant design. Our
distinctive Roto Dial controller sits atop of the unit
making operation simple & intuitive
high contrast display
with large format clock
The look of R2i exudes style, but sonically it’s equally
impressive. Our custom made high-fidelity drive units & electronics
with 3D sound processing provide a scale & quality of
sound that belies the R2i’s compact
Dimensions. With our new tuner, DAB
& FM performance is exceptional, but R2i is also ready to receive DAB+ transmissions making R2i a future-proof investment.
Gold-plated phono sockets on
rear
R2i also has other quality features that have been carefully
considered. Our new high contrast display with large format
clock makes time reading clearly legible even from afar. On the
front panel a headphone socket along with a line input allows
headphones & other audio devices to be easily connected. Usefully the
volume of the headphones output is ‘remembered’ independently from the
main volume, so whenever headphones are inserted the volume reverts to
the users last selected level. On the rear panel we’ve provided two
pairs of high quality gold-plated phono sockets. The
first provides output for recording or hook-up to secondary systems &
the second provides an additional input for the permanent connection of a
CD/MP3 player or TV/DVD. Completing R2i is a compact remote
control that enables all key R2i & iPod functions to be set
and operated from the comfort of a chair or bed.
Love radio? Love music? Love design? You’ll love R2i!
