The DUAL DAB 12 in any case provides stereo sound. Of course, such a portable radio no Hi-Fi device, but were these radios so never and that's not their right, but you can buy accordingly expensive components. I find the sound very solid and sufficient; the radio is the way the house from a rather loud instrument. Use it often to fall asleep and as the smallest possible volume still a tick me sometimes (1 of 16) to expressive. During the day gives me step 4; the radio has thus sufficient reserves for open listening.
There has, incidentally, still one of the technology equipment in nearly extinct "right" switch (on the back) where you can plug in and headphones with a standard 3.5mm jack. In addition to the power supply, the radio can also be operated with 6 AA batteries, so the move is available.
The startup was simple. The box, attach to the mains, pull out the antenna, provide rear switch to ON and turn on the standby button. The radio automatically immediately then performs a channel scan in DAB + network. It is advisable once the INFO button to push, because the signal strength then is displayed as a bar graph and you can align the antenna so that the maximum possible signal strength is achieved. Then you could save his favorite stations, which I did not do because I can cycle through all channels by pressing a button anyway.
For me the most classical radio is playing; and are finally consistently, displayed next to the note of the broadcasting station, also useful additional information, for example in classical music radio. composers and titles of the tracks, is very helpful.
I have to live the good fortune in an area in North Rhine-Westphalia, where the transmitter strength is at its maximum and the channel reception signal without any error occurs, according to display when the front of the DUAL INFO button pressed repeatedly.
It is interesting that the transmitter always send them along the exact time in seconds, so you always have a reference time with the radio. The DUAL Radio, incidentally, also a sleep function, according to pre-selectable time interval (between 15-90 minutes), the radio turns off automatically. Equally it can be used to wake up. The gray display, on dark background, can also, according to pre-selectable time interval off.
One point I will have to deduct the DUAL, since not only the operation instructions are sometimes misleading and the smooth plastic housing provides a cheap, low-quality impression and ruckzuck forms a lubricating film by fingerprints.
Sorely missed but I am doing a remote control, but this would probably disagree with something the "spirit" of a portable radio. No Matter. Had she still like. This I did, however, previously and I can not blame the radio now.
