serious small audio
“As ever with Vita the sound is sensational”
Mail on Sunday - Live Magazine
“Micro systems, mini systems, separate systems – they all trail wires and mostly look like they were styled in 1987. The superb Vita Audio’s R4 is rather different: this is an all-in-one system that may look retro-chic, but its shiny white or wood grain finish will look good in almost any setting. There’s an iPod dock, a CD player, a DAB/FM radio and a USB port, too. The clincher, though, is that it sounds fantastic”
The Daily Telegraph
“Vita Audio’s new ‘R4’ music system is compact – just 45cm wide – but has the sound quality of a much bigger beast”

“With a potent mix of features, style and substance, the R4 is well worth its premium”

“Every now and then a product like the R4 comes along and proves the theory wrong. You CAN have your cake and eat it, and you CAN have the best of both worlds: here’s a system that’s as easy on the ears as it is on the eyes: one that doesn’t sacrifice performance for the sake of looks or size”. VERDICT “The lofty price tag means that the R4 isn’t for everyone, but if you’ve got a fair bit of wedge to spend on a new music system this should certainly be high on your list. It performs like a dream, boasts a bevy of talents and looks absolutely stunning”

“Very well built with a brilliantly designed remote control and a classy walnut finish”. VERDICT “If you can afford it, the incredible finish of the Vita is well worth it”

While sound enhances a room, ungainly music systems do not. Sleek technology such as this can be both seen and heard.
The Sunday Telegraph
“The R4 fulfils its design brief admirably: its sound will please most listeners, it looks smart and its RotoDial handset makes it simple to use. It should be every bit as successful as the company’s previous models”
Gramophone Magazine
“Offering CD, DAB and surprisingly good FM, plus USB, iPod and line inputs, this unit has it all at a very attractive price. One may be able to assemble a more sonically impressive system for the money, but the single-box convenience makes this a winner”

“The R4 has great sound and even snappier looks. It’s all you need to listen to music”
Best Buy – Time Out Magazine
“From the tasteful, walnut veneered body, to the gold-plated ports, the R4 is as much a lovingly crafted piece of furniture as it is an outstanding DAB/iPod dock. VERDICT “From the gorgeous finish, to the innovative remote and warm natural sound, this oozes quality”
