The Radia’s new design language takes the classic notion of British understated elegance and brings it to the modern age. With bold, clean, yet refined lines, I found the Radia components instantly appealing to look at and interact with. Detail touches like the rear cowl that covers the sight of the connectors and the model numbers all screen printed on the top left corner were very cool. And yes, the yellow light rings around the input and volume dials are a distinctive but not distracting touch.
The event began with an introduction and presentation about the new line by Paul Neville, Director of Engineering, Jim Garrett, Senior Director, Product Strategy and Planning, and Dave Tovissi, Vice President/General Manager, all from HARMAN Luxury Audio. The team also introduced John Dawson, one of ARCAM’s original co-founders who was also in attendance.
John is still actively involved as a guiding hand and mentor to the brand he helped found in the early 1970s.
