The Acoustic Revive RIO-5 II is a device that generates negative ions and infrared rays to improve the sound and picture quality of CDs and DVDs. By placing a disc on the device and pressing the button, the disc is exposed to these ions and rays for several seconds. This process can result in improved signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range, making instruments and vocals sound more vivid and crisp. In addition, the image can be rendered deeper and with better color contrast.
In addition to treating discs, the RIO-5 II can also be placed in the listening room to improve acoustics. Turning the device on releases natural negative ions that purify the air in the room. This can result in better dispersion of sound waves and a noticeable improvement in sound quality.
The use of tourmaline in the RIO-5 II plays a crucial role in the efficient release of negative ions. The combination of halogen lamps and an electric fan increases air circulation, which contributes to the effectiveness of the device.
The Acoustic Revive RIO-5 II was designed by Mr. Ken Ishiguro, the brains behind the brand. The device uses heated tourmaline crystals to neutralize static electricity from CDs, cables and accessories. The housing is of sturdy, low-resonance aluminum. Inside are carefully selected components produced entirely in Japan and assembled by hand, following a philosophy of minimal interference and maximum transparency.
Acoustic Revive was founded by Ken Ishiguro and is based in Takasaki City in Japan’s Gunma Prefecture. The brand develops all its products in collaboration with the Faculty of Engineering at Gunma University. The products are manufactured with materials such as natural crystals, cones of hi-tech ceramics and conductive alloys. Acoustic Revive applies separated structures and resonance control in its designs. Production takes place entirely in Japan. Several products feature unique technologies, including magnetic pollution control and electric current optimization technologies. Acoustic Revive uses rhodonic copper and materials with specific conductivity, among others. The manufacturer makes measurements for each application and develops equipment with reference to specific physical parameters. Application of local Japanese materials is characteristic in various products.
