Review: I spent a while researching and choosing a digital radio, and this Pure Evoke-1 was the one I eventually plumped for. I'm glad I did. The Evoke is really a no frills base model DAB receiver which has the emphasis placed firmly towards quality rather than gimics. The sound reproduction is excellent for its size and the build quality superb. The knobs turn with the smoothness of any Roberts radio and the layout, design and operation are all logical and well thought out, and the unit is reassuringly heavy and sturdy. The down side... well it's only mains powered so I'm not sure it counts as a true "portable", and personally I would like to have had a dimmer on the display (which tends to light the whole room up at night), but that's about it really. The Evoke was one of the first in the market and it is now available in a variety of packages (you can get versions with additional speakers, different finishes and alarm clocks added etc etc), and with a bit of shopping around you can find some very competitive deals now. Whichever way you cut it you will be able to find cheaper DAB receivers, and ones with more features for the money, but for me... I'll stick with the Evoke any day! |
