I was long looking for a small, yet well-sounding kitchen radio for the music by the way. By image and text offers from Amazon I became aware of the Scott RX 19. The customer recessions were mostly positive, but the cat is still not buying the bag. In an electronics store I had undisturbed opportunity to test and compare with other products of similar equipment and price ranges. The Scott RX 19 (or without the USB and memory card playback the RX 18) could really convince the sound while ago. Known brand manufacturers remain as far below expectations. The design of the RX 19 you have to like, but it's also a radio in retro style. I chose the black casing variant entschie-that, though not fit the kitchen furniture, but sees it from almost noble. About the On / Off function in conjunction with the volume control, the radio can not be totally off, the power transformer is always the mains. The power consumption is, however, (in my opinion, and measured with a standard energy cost meter) with less than 9 watts almost negligible. Radio playback (transmitter separation in FM area amazingly sharp) and playback from the storage media function properly. Too bad that the selection can be carried out in ten jumps and without display, but with the price you have to be willing to compromise. The arrangement of the USB and card slots on the top of the case is expected to staining the terminal (just in kitchens). In addition, the mode switch is bad grip, a knurled edge would provide a remedy. Become a precaution tinker a corresponding cover. For reasons stated above, there is a star deduction. Otherwise, I have acquired a top Mono radio. The shipment was made by Amazon as usual quickly and unharmed.
