Dual DAB 4.1 Portable Digital Radio (DAB + / FM tuner, tuning function, memory keys (10 each), LCD display, 3.5 mm headphone jack) Silver (Electronics)
I've been looking for in the AMAZON reviews for a handy, not too expensive DAB + radio. Now there was this great piece in flash range just below 40 Euros, and so I slammed, although the dual was not exactly my favorite. And I must say I agree with the rather random choice quite satisfied, although it would be to complain about the one or the other. Supplied Amazon typically the specified date. The was a little long-term than usual but given the current labor dispute at AMAZON still a remarkable achievement. Äätsch, Verdi! For radio itself: Positives: handy with quality appearance, classic pocket radio design in paperback size, Commissioning almost foolproof, The operation is easy (without operating instructions, only tried bissl so intuitive when one understands that only the sender is selected from the list, then press to select via is) and the impression given quickly. The keys have a good pressure point and are sufficiently large. Five shortcut keys give a Shift key ten base stations. If you put the device on a table or desk in position, the operator also works with one hand, otherwise you have to hold the small, lightweight body naturally. There is a somewhat filigree foldout device stand at the back, with the help of the dual line up console type and can operate well. The DUAL can be but also in one hand well. Reception: Although I miss the comparison, but I find it quite well that the miracle part in the house (brick, not steel reinforced) a lot (36) more or less interesting DAB + transmitter noiseless receives from about 30 km remote transmitter Geyer and I have the antenna for almost all the channels can be still collapsed. Any disturbing artifacts I have not figured out is one, let's see how it sounds when I connect an external amplifier. Anyway, a great advance for pure analog broadcasting in so far as it comes to information and popular music by the way. I forgive even the advertising that CD-quality with an encryption rate of 72 kb / s is an unsustainable promises. Sound: If the size is just nothing else than tin in it. In this quality segment of the DUAL is rather good, no rattling or other intrinsic noise even at full Bums. The built-in speaker does not fill in the fact (s. Other reviews) the eigenlich available space, but the screamer is himself probably not just by quite as poor quality as elsewhere faulted. When I bring my ear to the near field, I hear even something like bass. I think the size of the record is less important than the surface of the baffle in such constructions and is limited nunmal with pocket radios. The jack output provides stereo also not self-evident in the device class. AC plug reasonably narrow that fits alongside other tabs to a flat plug-multiple socket. Negative: I had already indicated that in the price and in the class of devices (pocket radio, base segment) nunmal can not expect super performance and luxury amenities and the one setting the purchase indeed. The device makes sense and under this restriction does what it should and not the bad. If I still some requests external hereafter, so I am aware that a is bissl unfair. There should be more information for buyers, where certain funct ons are important. In addition, there are of DUAL but a whole portfolio of devices with different features and additional functions - then just a little more expensive -from Mikroradioleinchen to (so called) Boombox. Who wants to have, just needs a little more wages. Therefore, I also give the following restrictions despite a full five points. Oh negative: The device has no alarm, although internally DAB + -Zeitinformationen apparently available. That would mE safely through a software supplements have been possible, without having to change the hardware something. Well, those who need it: from DUAL gibts also a DAB + - Clock radio. No equalization possible. But can I at this Gwräteklasse gladly do without it. Display could be bigger and is not dimmable (eg for night operation table or car), but easy to read. Antenna can be pivoted only in pure direction. If you go to the back sets example in order to operate with only one hand can extends the solid flat antenna backward and can not be in the optimal view of the vertical polarization transmitter superscript bring the unit. On my site but no matter because it can often remain collapsed. Following update when detail and tested on target location in our holiday home in the Vogtland on amplifier.
