Customer Review

The DUAL DAB 12 he became a priority is purchased for use in the office. Since even the occasional visit is scheduled in the garden, it was ensured that the use is also possible with batteries. Since we live in an area where DAB reception is not necessarily guaranteed within buildings, it had to be a device with good reception properties. A first attempt to receive digital radio after launch in August last year was unfortunately unsuccessful. By now it should, after the transmitter power was increased in December last year, a new attempt to start.

The Dual DAB 12 was supplied by Amazon, as usual quickly. Commissioning is quite easy. After switching on a scan in DAB mode is performed immediately. Both the nationwide TV channels, as well as the country's stations for Saxony-Anhalt found. Although the signal strength is rather borderline inside buildings, errors or interruptions during playback can not be detected. The reception quality of the radio in the digital mode, in spite of this locally rather marginal signal, in my view, excellent.

Even the sound of the device is very appealing to the compact design. In terms of sound quality you can certainly expect miracles for compact devices. As criticism of the somewhat crude volume control must be considered; even in the lowest volume setting on the radio for the background music in the office is almost a little too loudly.

On the positive side is to be regarded, in my view, that the operation is possible not only with power supply, but also with conventional batteries. Many competitive products require special here batteries that have to be bought at inflated prices, in my view it. That Dual DAB 12, however, requires only 6 AA batteries for cordless operation. Another positive aspect is the, now only account for a few devices to be found, true off.

A star deduction I give in my eyes for the somewhat bad acting plastic housing. This is certainly due to the low price, but you can see it very quickly fingerprints.

In summary, obtained with the Dual DAB 12 a suitable for the digital radio receiver at a very good price / performance ratio. To this extent, in my view, a strong buy recommendation.
