The REVO SuperCD combines everything that a high-class, modern one-box music system has to offer. It receives digital DAB and DAB+ radio, analogue FM radio and Internet radio and has a vertical top-loader CD player and USB media player. Video The Revo SuperSystem sound quality is so compelling that it makes the machine one of the top-performing all-in-one systems on the market. Das handgefertigte Holzgehäuse wurde wegen seiner herausragenden akustischen Eigenschaften ausgewählt. Holz ist als Material alternativlos, wenn man akustische Performanz der Spitzenklasse erreichen möchte. The Revo SuperSystem is designed to be an all-in-one music machine. It’s no surprise then that it comes with access to a range of streaming options, including internet radio, DAB+, DAB, and FM with RDS. Overall, you’ll be able to access around 24,000 stations from across the world. It also features access to Spotify Connect, which means you get another 30 million songs to choose from.

The more we played, the more songs reacted badly to the 3D setting, and we ended up keeping it off, with one notch down also on the treble slider to prevent residual fizziness in the treble. What makes this Revo extra special is the built-in CD player. This lets you play all your existing CDs while still having access to the latest streaming functions, plus much more. The CD player is compatible with a wide range of formats, including CDR and CDRW. Um den ausgezeichneten, einzigartigen Klang des SuperCD zu kreieren kamen die modernsten Klangmodelliertechnologien zum Einsatz. Im Zusammenspiel mit dem einzigartigen Hardware-Design entsteht durch die patentierte Equalizerkonfiguration ein warmer, offener Klang, der frei von Verzerrungen ist und der durch Klarheit in den Höhen und satte und tiefe Bässe überzeugt.We tested the Revo SuperSystem in the May issue of What Hi-Fi? magazine but were later told it was a preproduction unit with a different specification. We have since received the correct unit, and this review has been amended to reflect the new model. Das SuperCD erlaubt den Empfang diverser Radiostandards: DAB & DAB+, UKW mit RDS und Internetradio via WiFi. Hierdurch hat man Zugriff auf über 36.000 unterschiedliche Sender weltweit.

This radio has a lot of features. It offers FM/DAB/DAB+ radio as well as an internet tuner for listening to radio stations via WiFi. At the other end of the frequency extreme, the Revo isn't quite so well sorted. There is no shortage of bass from the lower firing driver and the mounting system is sufficiently stout that there is no sense of it sounding flabby or uncontrolled but the integration between it and the BMRs isn't perfect. The changeover isn't perfect between the two and the tonality shifts very slightly as it does so. Unless you happen to be listening to music where something critical is happening at this crossover point, the effect is not too pronounced though and the Revo does a more convincing job than many rivals. Das vertikal angeordnete CD-Laufwerk sorgt als zentraler Bestandteil des SuperCD dafür, dass auch Liebhaber „physischer“ Musikformate voll auf ihre Kosten kommen. Das Musiksystem erlaubt Vernetzung mit und Wiedergabe von auf externen Computern oder Servern gelagerten Musikdateien. Bluetooth Unterstütztung ermöglicht die drahtlose Wiedergabe von Musikdateien von Smart Phones , Spotify Connect bietet Zugriff auf eine virtuelle Musikbibliothek mit über 30 Millionen Einträgen.

Design & Materials UNDOK technology links up to five SuperCD or other UNDOK compatible devices (such as our SuperSystem radio) to create a wireless multiroom system.Cutting-edge sound modelling techniques have been used to design SuperCD’s award-winng sound profile. In tandem with our custom hardware design, SuperCD’s proprietary EQ configuration develops a warm open sound with clarity, detail and deep rich bass – free from coloration and distortion and benefiting from an expansive sound field. The more you spend, the better the sound quality. This isn’t always true, but in general the best-sounding DAB radios are also some of the most expensive. While spending more is generally a good idea, you should be aware that some radios have an inflated price due to a flashy design rather than the sound quality. A hand-crafted wooden cabinet has been selected for its superb acoustic properties, no other material provides the deep foundations of great audio performance like wood.

Like Revo’s other DAB radios, the SuperCD boasts some seriously powerful audio components. Most significantly, it includes the company’s own custom Balanced Mode Radiator speaker drivers. These help achieve a rich, dynamic sound from smaller speakers. They make a huge difference even on smaller models, but the larger scale of the SuperCD really lets it rip. The CD player's innards take up a fair chunk of the space inside, but there’s still plenty of room for some extra audio wizardry. Super” is definitely the right word to describe the Revo SuperSystem, with its exceptional sound quality, an incredible range of features, and compelling design. This fantastic piece of machinery is a sure fire hit for any home, brimming with excellent ways to entertain and amaze. BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) speaker drivers utilise flat diaphragm transducer technology and combine the performance attributes of a flat panel speaker with the pistonic movement of a conventional loudspeaker, resulting in a high performance compact drive unit that develops wide dispersion and an expanded sweet spot.Of more interest is how the Revo converts these signals to sound. The SuperSystem is built around a pair of 3 inch BMR drivers that fire forwards. BMR is an acronym for Balanced Mode Radiator and this is something that Revo has been working on for a little while. Technically, a BMR is two drivers in one. The front of it is a panel section that produces high frequency signals by passing an electrical current across the panel section exciting it to produce soundwaves. This is then augmented by mounting the panel on a conventional pistonic mount that allows it to produce far more bass than would be the case. We changed to internet radio – it was no better, indeed slightly worse on low-resolution stations. We were worried by this, to be honest: it was not the sound we expect from Ruark devices, which normally present a warm friendly radio sound.

The Revo SuperSystem is the flagship of the Revo range which is focussed on compact single chassis devices that are intended to be used as standalone systems. What sets the Revo apart from many of its rivals is that is equipped with a specification that goes a long way to justifying the use the word 'Super' in the title. The SuperSystem is able to offer a range of functionality that should allow it to take on a number of roles in a household. The 40W class D amplifier used and the two 3.5″ BMR speakers (balanced mode radiator) ensure room-filling digital audio rich in bass, clarity and details with an extensive sound field. The addition of Qualcomm® aptX™ technology means that where supported by the transmitting device, streaming music will be at CD-like quality, rather than the MP3 quality of standard Bluetooth® streams.

The R1 Mk3 is the cheapest and simplest radio in Ruark’s lineup. However, this doesn’t mean it’s cheap and basic!
