The sound quality through the built-in speaker is superb. The Sunday Post, January 2004
Tired of your old trannie letting you down? Well, a new kid's strutting the wireless walk, bringing crystal clear reception and an arsenal of new stations - Digital Audio Broadcasting.
Unlike conventional transmissions, DAB radio signals are converted to digital ones and zeros and compressed before broadcast, making them far more resistant to interference. Put simply, you can pack many more stations into the airwaves, and hum, crackle and hiss should all be history.
Leading the digital charge is the EVOKE-1 from PURE. With a fashionably retro appearance, the EVOKE-1 will disgrace neither lounge nor kitchen. The layout is uncluttered - two-line LCD for station name and info and a couple of selector knobs for volume tuning.
The number of stations you can receive depends on the strength of your reception, but I managed to pick up 31 with the built-in antenna, to change channels simply turn the tuning knob. The bottom row of the LCD displays the names of stations and, when you reach the one you want, just push the knob to select. Easy.
Convenience is great but if DAB is to cut it in hi-fi circles it's got to pack a sonic punch, and thankfully the sound quality through the built-in speaker is superb.
For most listeners the EVOKE-1, for under £100, gives far greater listening pleasure than similarly priced FM radios. You'd be radio ga ga to miss out.
