The company decided to go high-end with the release of the towering K2 digital radio device that comes with smooth and modern-day feel.

This digital radio comes with full audio and video playback from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. It also provides you with access to online music service as well as the ability to stream your music files wirelessly from any connected Mac or PC.

This new product from Revo Technologies can naturally generate 40 watts that’s enough to fill your room with high resolution digital audio, thanks to its group of four neodymium Balanced Mode Radiator speaker drivers and dual Class-D amplifiers. What makes K2 capable of displaying the characteristics of a large unit is its Digital Signal Processing (DSP) which makes full use of its drive unit control. This results in near 360 degree dispersion that explains where this digital radio derives its rich tones and deep bass.
The K2 also boasts a huge graphical secret-until-lit OLED display which also acts as a discreet powered dock for your Apple devices.
