Alternative to Gira

In our bathroom the installation conditions were such that even the two existing standard switch boxes with 4cm depth (it was previously installed sockets) ranged from the square because the base radio (main unit and speakers) have only one mounting depth of 3.2 cm. Moreover, since even was come a space reserve in the amount of the tile thickness, the installation was not a problem, especially as the connections of the radio (terminals "L", "N", and optional "1" for extension / light switches are not attached at the back of the Radio - compliment to the developers.

I welcome also that the cable (not so in the flush-mounted boxes) extend from the main unit to the loudspeaker within the mounting frame. This saves space in the box and on the other hand must if initially only a flush-mounted box is pre-present, the subsequent drilling and inserting a second wallbox no connection to be created between doses - again well done from Peha. Speaking subsequent setting a 2nd Wallbox: Here PEHA has thought. The mounting frame has slots through which it is mounted in the switch box with 4 small screws screws equipment. If one slips up to 2-3 mm when drilling for a 2nd flush-mounted box, you can still correct ... I welcome also that unlike some other manufacturers no framework for the radio must be ordered separately.

The Sound:
I have in another bathroom, a Gira flush-mounted radio in operation. In direct comparison, the Gira radio has a subjectively richer / louder sound at the same Ausreizung volume. I had noticed that the speaker cable at PEHA flush radio is already quite thin. In Anbetreacht the size of the speaker but the tone when Peha is suffi-accordingly / acceptable.

Radio operation:
The reception is - although the ground floor with overlying Bedondecke - well in our bathroom.
It all stations are received, with one placed near Uhrenradio also previously (wire antenna) have been received. Compared to the Gira two Senderpeichertasten for direct dialing / changing the radio station, there is the PEHA radio six preset buttons.
Small disadvantage: They can not be accessed directly, but must first press the station moves the upper left button that responds (by pressing) presets 1 simultaneously. So if you often change the channel, you should be aware of the.

What I find even more commendable is that the display illumination - even if the radio is off and only the time is displayed - can be set at different levels from normal to completely.
