About this deal

The down points are its overall size and weight which are considerable for a portable radio. The DAB stations are very easy to tune but even so it would be nice to have more then six presets. The biggest problem for me is one of the reasons I bought the radio in the first place, battery life. The Evoke 2S's improved sound quality is down to more than just the new tweeters, however. Pure's Clearsound suffix describes its digital end-to-end audio subsystem, which uses high-quality class D amplifiers and digital audio shaping technology to provide clear dynamics with low power consumption to suit the times. There's also a dedicated input for an iPod or other MP3 player. The more eco-minded among you will also be pleased to learn it's part of Pure's EcoPlus range.

weird ****. it did this again with a new radio but we switched it off before it blew, put duracells in and it seemed to work with no problems. The thing is is the warranty runs from when I originally bought the first unit and for the second unit to only last 5 mins is ridiculous - literally. You can control the speaker with the included remote control. (Image credit: TechRadar) Pure Evoke Home: audio performance I just wondered if anyone else is having problems with the Pure Evoke 2 s as my replacement one has just broken and I'll now be onto my 3rd unit. You can turn the volume right up without distortion, the tone can easily be adjusted as each channel does perform a bit differently, the overall sound quality and style of the radio are superb! There is an optical output and you can attach an external aerial which is a great feature.We found this radio particularly successful with BBC Radio 3 on digital, the uncompressed sound coming across cleanly and pleasantly, while the high-frequency 'warbling' that tends to characterise DAB sound through true hi-fi equipment is much less noticeable when played through a table radio. Radio 4 also did well, as did some lighter-textured varieties of popular music broadcast on Radio 2. I know you may think this is not important, but not all F.M. stations broadcast on D.A.B. so I feel the F.M. performance should be better!. The Evoke Home has a quoted 100W of power from its dual 20mm soft dome tweeters and two 3.5-inch woofers, which are situated at either end of the chassis. I'm happy to say the audio on the Evoke is far superior on D.A.B., with lots of volume, you can even crank it up full with no distortion, this could not be said of the Goodmans. The radio looks a little old fashioned, but is nicely made. In design terms it doesn't reinvent the wheel, but with solid build, good OLED display and revamped ‘Clearsound' amp technology, it offers a clear evolution in sonic performance.

When it said "we recommend" only alkaline I thought that that was because non-alk batteries wouldn't last as long - not that they'd kill the radio. weird.This Radio is superb! the Roberts doesn't come near it, I'm quite sad about that as I have always liked their analogue sets. The power cuts out when using mains or batteries - it switches on and off a couple of times and then will not work at all - completely dead. But quite frankly the audio on that, on D.A.B. sounded hollow and muffled . This set was returned right away. In this case, there is quite good treble in most directions and speech intelligibility is definitely better than we found with earlier Evoke models. There's also some good life and verve in music. There's no doubt in our mind that adding the tweeters has improved the sound quality significantly. Single drive units are all very well (after all, some highly regarded speakers use that approach) but their dispersion is often relatively poor, making the sound particularly variable as one moves around the room.

My only real concern is the F.M. performance, it is far below average, and sounds hissy on most stations!. I don't know if this is normal for this radio, or if mine has not been tuned properly in the factory. The Pure Evoke 2 was the first of three DAB radios I bought (one for home, one for the car and one for personal use). I bought if specifically to plug into my Hi Fi amp and use it as a tuner. r u sure your not experiencing sound drop outs? I did for the first week or two have this problem. switch the osd to show the power level received. That grille is crafted from recycled wool that’s said to be both ‘eco-certified’ and ‘virtually odourless’, which is always good to know (we couldn’t smell anything weird!). If that’s a nice touch, so is the flip-up 2.8-inch LED colour screen. There are a few buttons underneath to help navigate the display, which sadly isn’t a touchscreen.

Applicable models: Chronos 2, Contour 100Di, Elan 2, Evoke 1S, Evoke 2S, Highway, One Classic, One Classic Series 2, One Elite, One Elite Series 2, One Mi, One Mi Series 2, Siesta, Siesta Mi, Siesta Mi Series 2 I am very pleased with my Pure Evoke 2. I have owned it for between 1 and a half to 2 years. I couldn't decide for a while whether to get the Pure Evoke 1 or this one. I decided to get the Evoke 2 because of the fact it also had FM Reception on it so I could also listen to some good local stations that were not yet on DAB.

Pure DAB radio to receive DAB+ stations? How can I upgrade my Pure DAB radio to receive DAB+ stations?

If you have one of the following models or if your radio is showing 'For upgrades, visit pure.com', you may need to upgrade your radio for DAB+ support. The Pure Evoke Home comes with a flip-up screen. (Image credit: TechRadar) Pure Evoke Home: price and release date Although it does include a CD player, the Evoke Home is mostly about streaming. No surprises there, but the way it executes it all is sometimes underwhelming. Its pop-up screen hosts shortcuts to a bunch of apps; DAB Radio, FM Radio, Internet Radio, Spotify, Podcasts, Bluetooth, CD and AUX. Four of those require the Evoke Home to be attached to a Wi-Fi network.It has ‘ReVu' – so you can pause and rewind live radio, as well as useful alarm and sleep timer functions. This is the latest incarnation of Pure's bigger, stereo table-top radio, and frankly, it's a beauty.
