Restio reimagines concept of music source

Yamaha has re-imagining the concept of a music source with the Restio. The independent body style makes music an interior design element, and because the sides are slanted, it appears to be a thin panel. The front grille uses expanded metal, providing an attractive texture. The striped pattern printed underneath the grille conveys a feeling of depth, giving the impression that the music is coming from within the entire front surface.

With a 9cm body and a half-moon shaped stand, you can position the Restio right up against a wall. What’s more, the stand-alone style doesn’t require a shelf, so there are no restrictions on where you can put it. You can even remove the stand and hang it on a wall. It’s the perfect way to match your music source to any room’s decor.

You can dock your iPod or iPhone directly into the top of the unit, for a digital connection that delivers high quality sound so you can thoroughly enjoy your music library. And if you have an app, such as one that lets you receive streaming music, you can further expand your listening pleasure.

The digital clock gives you a choice of two patterns: the usual number display and a unique display that combines numbers and an indicator. An auto dimmer function adjusts the brightness of the display to match the brightness of the room.

Comes in four colors. On sale now for 88,000 yen.
