PURE ONE Classic, Portable DAB/FM Radio - Black

Product Information

The radio has a single 2.5″ full range driver and the specifications give the output as 3 Watts. At full volume the radio fills a kitchen and can still be heard over a kettle or cooking without the sound distorting.

To browse the list of stations the forward/Stations button has to be pressed first. This opens the list of stored stations which can be browsed by turning the rotary knob left and right. A different station can be selected by pushing in the knob. This works well but if you forget to press the Stations button first you’ll find yourself changing the volume. This radio is equipped with a built-in speaker, ensuring high-quality audio output. The subwoofer driver has a diameter of 3 inches, providing enhanced bass performance. The system also includes a headphone output for private listening and an AUX input for connecting external devices. An extra Pure-exclusive treat is a wealth of free sound loops – loads of the things – from a Moorhen’s call to “Dog Barking in the Wind” and the sound of 1994 Toyota Supra engine. Some require a certain masochistic streak to want to listen to, but equally some relaxation classics are in there too.The Siesta Rise and the Elan Connect are Pure’s top DAB+ radio alarms.

Our mission is to make complex audio devices and technologies so simple, easy and intuitive that everyone can enjoy listening to their daily audio dose with our devices. Pure pioneered DAB radios in the digital radio industry more than 20 years ago and has built a reputation for timeless, beautiful design, high quality and great sounding audio. Reception of DAB and FM radio stations is comparable to other portable radios we have tested. The radio struggled to receive Times Radio in our location, but this is the same with radios we’ve tested from Roberts and Sony. Sometimes FM stations can sound distorted as it attempts to receive the station in stereo. An option in the menu allows for ‘forced mono’ which may help with weaker stations. Digital radio station list on the Pure Elan One Pure Evoke Play is a portable, battery-powered music system that will happily accompany you all day long: From your al-fresco breakfast to a picnic in the park or a barbecue on the sports field - you can use anything from a DAB radio or FM receiver to Spotify Connect or Bluetooth Speaker for your smartphone to prove that the best playlists are yours. And even if they aren’t, the Pure Evoke Play, our compact sound marvel, will play along anyway. This radio features a 3.5 mm headphone connectivity option, allowing users to connect their preferred headphones without any hassle. Its portability makes it suitable for on-the-go use and offers flexibility in terms of where it can be used.Compared to traditional radio stations, internet radio offers a wider variety of programmes since it is not restricted by geographical boundaries. It also allows stations to reach a larger audience that is not bound to a specific geographical area. Furthermore, programmes can be saved to be listened to at a later stage. FM - when will it be turned off? The finish on the buttons has been toned down from bright chrome to clouded silver – and the main control dial is now finished in ridged concentric circles. The ReVu function, used to pause radio, has been replaced with the Listen Later feature. Allowing full recording of programmes, it’s slightly more ambitious than ReVu – more on it later.

So the Pure One Classic Series II is a pretty good all-rounder but there are obstacles ahead of it, and the most dangerous are – at the moment – its predecessors. The amendments made in this “Series II” adjustment are not essential, while the falling price of the old guard makes buying one while they’re still around seem very attractive. You can nab the first-gen Elite model for five pounds less than the Series II at present, and we’d rather have the sound quality improvements of its dual-speaker system than the rather limited recording skills of the Listen Later feature. DAB digital and FM radio with full Band III DAB reception capability, for reception of all UK DAB broadcasts. Compliant with ETS 300 401 and capable of decoding all DAB transmission modes 1-4 up to and including 192 kbps.If you’re willing to cut the ties with traditional radio broadcasting entirely, the Logitech Squeezebox still does significantly more – offering Spotify streaming, plus access to a handful of other services. However, the mix of new and old that’s within the Pure One Flow is arguably much more flexible. Find yourself without an internet connection? Switch to DAB. DAB signal start to act up? Step down to FM. After connecting the radio to the mains or inserting the batteries a push of the knob will switch on the radio. The radio will scan for digital radio stations the first time that it’s turned on and subsequently return to the last listened to station. CD meets internet radio: DAB+ or DAB plus Pure radio with CD player equals a 2-in-1 solution that allows you to listen to CDs as well as DAB+ radio stations with a single device.
