Key features of vitaaudio are as follows:

Heritage

We are a family of skilled designers and engineers who have built a wealth of knowledge and expertise working within the British Audio Industry. Our award winning Ruark loudspeaker systems with evocative names such as Talisman, Crusader and Equinox have long been desired and respected by audio enthusiasts worldwide.

Mission

Our mission is to produce products that appeal to the heart as much as the head. Products that delight the senses of sight, hearing and touch. Products that we ourselves would be proud to own.

Design

Our aim is to create design icons of the future! Products that will look as good in 10-20 years as they do today. Like all good design, perfect lines and proportions allied to exclusive features such as our ‘RotoDial’ control system make Vita Audio products instantly recognizable and give a strong brand identity.

Performance & Functionality

Our goal is for class leading performance, intuitive operation and utilities that are of real benefit rather than frivolous features that may seldom be used.

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.
