Blurring the lines between traditional Hi-Fi and modern technology, the R2i is a compact DAB radio that also has an iPod dock and auxillary inputs for other MP3 players. It's also stylish, robust and great value for money, which is why it's a What Hi-Fi? award winner as well

If you are looking for the complete modern music system then the R2i offers one of the most compelling solutions available. With a new DAB/DAB+/FM tuner, universal iPod dock and auxiliary inputs, the R2i is the perfect solution for customers seeking high quality audio reproduction in small to medium sized environments.

The design of the Vita Audio R2i radio is first class, including a machined and hand crafted enclosure in either a rich walnet veneer and Dream White and Midnight Black high gloss lacquers. The product looks truly stunning with the finishes combining well with the cool steel panels and mesh grilles. The elegant design is perfectly offset by the RotoDial controller, helping to make operation simple and intuitive.

The R2i only improves when it is turned on, the design exudes style but sonically it impresses in equal measure. Don't be fooled by the compact design and dimensions, the scale and quality of sound from the R2i is fantastic. Custom made high-fidelity drive units and electronics with 3D sound processing provide a sound that is rich and smooth. The new tuner provides DAB and FM performance that is exceptional, the R2i is also ready to receive DAB+ transmissions making R2i a future-proof investment.

Another area where the R2i really improves is the new high contrast display with large format clock, helping to make time reading clearly legible even from afar. The front panel includes a headphone socket along with a line input helps allow headphones and other audio devices to be easily and quickly 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. The rear panel also includes two pairs of high quality gold-plated phono sockets. The first provides output for recording or hook-up to secondary systems and the second provides an additional input for the permanent connection of a CD/MP3 player or TV/DVD. The compact remote control is also a great addition which enables R2i and iPod functions to be set and operated from afar.

The high quality tuner coupled with the units wide ranging hi-fi capabilities help make the Vita Audio R2i radio a great product and at an incredibly attractive price.

Great styling and fantastic ease of use. Perfect as a little bedside clock radio alarm too! It produces a lovely warm rich sound and also has ipod connectivity with a built in top mounted dock.

When I first heard the R2i, I was very surprised by the wide stereo imaging from the iPod playback on this compact item. The song played was Bouree by Jethro Tull which showed off the atmospheric sound of this Vita unit really well.
