Rega io + Polk Audio Reserve R100 Hi-Fi System Package

Rega io + Polk Audio Reserve R100 Hi-Fi System Package

Rega io

The io has been designed to offer exceptional Rega performance at an affordable price point. It uses the same amplifier stage as the multi-award winning Brio now designed to run at 30 W per channel into 8 Ω. The io features two line level inputs, a high specification Rega moving magnet phono stage, and a dedicated high quality headphone output. The io will integrate seamlessly into any home audio system whilst remaining simple to use and easy to set up. A must for demonstration.

KEY FEATURES

• Integrated phono stage
• Headphone socket
• Mini remote control
• All new custom designed chasis

Because music matters

The io uses the same power amplifier and phono stage as its larger brother, the multi-award winning Brio. The io aims to deliver exceptional sound quality in a smaller and more cost effective package. The class A/B circuit shares its DNA with the rest of Rega’s amplifiers, and as usual, great care has been taken in component selection. Sanken output transistors and an Alps volume potentiometer and a linear power supply that enables an output of 30 watts per channel into 8 Ω. Two line level inputs and a high quality moving magnet phono input are available as sources. There is a headphone output provided on the front of the unit for powering standard hi-fi headphones; this is driven from the power amplifier stage of the unit through relays to avoid signal degradation when headphones are inserted or the product is muted. A new redesigned mini remote handset is included.

RESERVE R100

BOOKSHELF SPEAKER

The R100 is a versatile small speaker that is great in a compact stereo pair, as part of a front stage, or as surround components in a larger system. Its diminutive size means it's at home on a bookshelf, on a stand or even mounted to the wall.

FLAGSHIP SOUND

WHAT BETTER SOUNDS LIKE

Inheriting best-in-class technologies from our flagship Legend series of loudspeakers, the Polk Reserve series helps teach you what better sounds like.

AMAZING SOUND AND ELEGANCE

With understated elegance, the Reserve line has a minimalist design with universal appeal. Inheriting Polk’s flagship transducer array, the R100 produces exceptional sound that rivals competitor speakers that sell for twice the price.

SIT RIGHT EVERYWHERE

PINNACLE RING RADIATOR TWEETER

The Pinnacle Ring Radiator Tweeter’s distinctive pointed shape guides the dispersion of high frequency sounds around a room. This innovation widens the sweet spot and allows you freedom to enjoy your music and movies wherever you choose to sit.

STRENGTH IN MOTION

TURBINE CONE WOOFER

Our pioneering turbine design delivers a significant increase in cone rigidity without increasing mass. This innovation means the woofer can move with increased accuracy and speed to deliver enhanced sound resolution, enabling you to experience a breathtaking level of detail in your music and movies.

PURITY OF SOUND

X-PORT

Polk's proprietary X-Port eliminates unwanted noise created as air moves in and out of the speaker cabinet port at high-speeds. This ensures a rich and detailed listening experience with tight distortion-free bass and a clean midrange.

FORM AND FUNCTION

EXCEPTIONAL CABINETRY

Reserve’s sleek cabinetry hides a world of audio innovation. Cabinets are carefully cross-braced to best eliminate unwanted interior resonances. Rounded exterior corners help disperse sound broadly around the room with minimal diffraction, creating an open sound stage.

HI-RES AUDIO CERTIFIED

Your sound is only as good as your source. With Hi-Res Audio certification, the Polk Reserve R100 delivers clear and detailed high-frequency response. Female vocals are particularly smooth, with exceptional clarity and without coloration. Plus, a minimum support of 40kHz perfectly reproduces the latest Hi-Res Audio files with improved audio extension.
