SuperConnect
SuperConnect is a modern classic and arguably the world’s most acclaimed digital radio. The ultimate expression of REVO’s design and engineering philosophy and the culmination of everything we have learnt in 10 years of product design and development. Functionalism meets craft and technology, a ‘connected’ radio that delivers over 30,000 radio stations from around the world and a host of next-generation features and functionality.
Features
Functionalism meets craft and technology, a next-generation audio device that beats at the heart of your musical ecosystem, providing whatever soundtrack you need. Terrestrial and internet radio from all around the globe, high quality Bluetooth streaming, wireless access to your personal music collection or an almost limitless supply of songs from Spotify – one of the world’s leading music streaming service. Thanks to the inclusion of UNDOK technology, music can be wirelessly distributed to other compatible devices around your home to establish a sophisticated multiroom audio environment, all controllable via a specially designed app for iOS or Android smartphones and tablets.
SuperConnect is equipped to receive a wide range of radio standards including DAB, DAB+, FM with RDS and wi-fi internet radio – providing access to over 30,000 stations from around the world. SuperConnect’s ability to communicate with external devices and services is unrivalled. Network audio and WLAN technology enables wireless audio playback from external computers and music servers, Bluetooth with Qualcomm aptX delivers CD quality streaming from smartphones, tablets etc., and Spotify Connect completes the proposition by unlocking over 30 million tracks from the Spotify archive.
A graphical OLED display and joystick control add a touch of modernity, while patented audio electronics and flat diaphragm BMR driver technology deliver 15W of clear digital audio with clarity and deep, rich bass.
Design and Materials
Aesthetically, SuperConnect is a balanced blend of modernity and mid-century charm – perfectly proportioned, substantial, handsome. Whilst always looking to innovate, we also keep one eye on the past, learning and taking inspiration from the great designers of the 20th century. We believe that form should follow function and that attention to detail matters. Good design and the use of quality materials enrich and elevate the user experience.
SuperConnect is the proud recipient of a Red Dot Product Design award. Since 1955 this coveted international accolade has honoured the very best in industrial design, setting the benchmark by which innovation, functionality and quality are measured.
A hand-crafted wooden cabinet has been selected for its superb acoustic properties, clad in furniture grade American walnut or subtle matt paint finishes, no other material provides the deep foundations of great audio performance like wood.
The use of high quality anodised 6000 series aluminium for the front fascia and speaker grille, and pressing steel for the backplate further inject a reassuring tactility and sense of honesty that cannot be achieved with lesser materials.

Acoustic Engineering
SuperConnect’s audio characteristics are the result of a considered blend of the finest electronic, acoustic and software design. Premium quality audio components, all-digital technology, cutting-edge sound modelling techniques and a carefully engineered bass porting system combine to deliver category defining performance.
BMR
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.
EQ
Cutting-edge sound modelling techniques have been used to design SuperConnect’s sound profile. In tandem with our custom hardware design, SuperConnect’s proprietary EQ configuration develops a warm open sound with clarity, detail and deep rich bass – free from colouration and distortion and benefiting from an expansive sound field.
