EVOKE-2S – Luxury Portable Stereo Digital and FM Radio

EVOKE-2S is a refined portable DAB/FM radio with impressive audio, a clear OLED (Organic LED) display and long battery life.

If you haven’t experienced DAB digital radio yet, you’re in for a treat. There’s more station choice, easy station selection, extra information on the display and crisp, clear digital-quality sound.

Our best sounding portable radio yet, EVOKE-2S produces 30W RMS from custom tuned mid-range speakers and separate tweeters driven by PURE Clearsound technology. Clearsound is a digital end-to-end audio subsystem using high quality Class D amplifiers and digital audio shaping technology to provide clear dynamic audio, higher volume levels and low power consumption.

EVOKE-2S is packed with features designed to enhance your radio listening including bass and treble controls plus pause and rewind of live digital radio for up to 15 minutes. Intellitext gives you on-demand access to stored scrolling text and textSCAN allows you to pause and control scrolling text from participating broadcasters – great if you want to catch the title of a track, note down a competition phone number or rewind to catch a news item (subject to station availability). Not forgetting the alarms and sleep timer functions, all the presets you’ll ever need and the latest ChargePAK technology. Its OLED display is crystal-clear from any angle and has both manual and automatic brightness controls. There’s also an input for your iPod/MP3 player, a kitchen countdown timer and a real maple veneer casework.

If you want to go portable with EVOKE-2S simply fit the optional E1 ChargePAK, a rechargeable battery pack which fits into the battery compartment of your radio and charges when the radio is connected to the mains so you can take the radio wherever you want. The E1 ChargePAK has the added benefits of being much more economical than regular batteries and significantly kinder to the environment, reducing the quantity of batteries that end up in landfills.

The Pure EVOKE-2S is recommended by the Energy Saving Trust.

Energy Saving Trust Recommended

PURE are proud to be able to say that many of our radios are recommended by the Energy Saving Trust and EVOKE-2S is one of them.

Products endorsed by the Energy Saving Trust have to satisfy an Independent Endorsement Panel of experts, draw less than 1W of current in standby and 3.5W in operation and provide a rechargeable alternative to alkaline batteries. The Energy Saving Trust takes into account their energy efficiency, sustainability (to gauge their overall environmental impact), and how economical they are to run.

Did you know you can run four of our Energy Saving Trust Recommended radios for less power than a single low energy light bulb?*

*A PURE 'Energy Saving Trust Recommended' digital radio consumes less than 3.5W of electricity in use. Comparison based on a low energy bulb of 14W or above. (A typical low energy bulb to replace a 60W incandescent 'traditional' bulb uses between 13W and 18W).

EcoPlus

EcoPlus™ is a statement of PURE's ongoing commitment to our environment and its future. It indicates that environmental impact has been considered in the design, manufacture and transport of our products, and has driven both what we do and how we do it.

At the heart of EcoPlus is the requirement to reduce the power consumption of our products while playing audio and also in standby.

All EcoPlus products are packaged using cardboard produced with a minimum of 70% recycled material, and finished using water-based varnish. All internal pulp trays are 100% recycled, and the user documentation is printed on 100% recycled paper using Soya-based inks. We also encourage our customers to recycle all packaging materials.

The boxes of EcoPlus products are designed to be the smallest they can be whilst still ensuring the integrity and security of the product inside. This maximises the number of products which can be shipped in each container, and thus minimises the environmental cost of transport.

Digital Radio

With digital radio (DAB) you'll discover a broader range of music, debate and ideas, all in crystal clear digital sound. Digital radio offers:

Ease-Of-Use

Digital radios are much easier to use than analogue radios because they automatically search for all available stations. Once the radio has found all the available stations you just choose the one you want by name. No more trying to remember frequencies.

Wider Station Choice

You'll be spoilt for choice - as well as many of your existing favourite stations now broadcasting on digital radio, you'll also find great exclusive-to-digital stations and there are more on the way!

Digital Sound Quality

Digital radio is not subject to the same interference as analogue radio resulting in crystal clear, interference free listening.

A great radio, but ... 17 April 2009
It's a great radio - lovely sound - but ... I'm on my second one now, and it still has problems. The first one wouldn't turn on under battery power (the optional Chargepak). So Amazon sent number 2. This one - wait for it - won't turn OFF under battery power.

Here's the good bit. Pure's technical person said that I'd need to download something 'onto my PC' from their site which would fix it. I use a Mac. "Sorry, we don't support Macs". "I don't have a PC, so can you sent me a new radio that works?" "No, because we've solved the problem". "Solved the problem? The problem ISN'T solved - the radio still won't turn off - you just want ME to fix it".

Basically, as I understand it at the end of that conversation, any replacement radio that a retailer might have in stock would suffer from the same issue and would need the fix downloading and installing. So I'm deeply unimpressed. Pure have sold a radio that doesn't work properly. Owners are then expected to fix the problem themselves, and they not only have to have a computer to do it, they have to have one type of computer. I don't know about Pure. I'd say that was Poor.

Pure Evoke-2S 9 July 2009
By Dave
I'd looked at the Evoke-2 series a couple of years back but we'd got a decent boom-box that still worked well so in true "don't replace it 'till it's bust" style I ignored temptation. Well, it bust and to be honest, I wish it'd expired a bit earlier!
The Evoke arrived sooner than expected and was up and running in minutes. The result? Loved it. It's neat and unobtrusive, sounds great, goes louder than I'd ever need and has a good display. My wife commented on how good it sounded as soon as she heard it and has found it easy to use.
Personally I'd have liked an aerial socket. It works perfectly from the extending aerial but the rod sticking up spoils the look and I'm sure will one day be responsible for removing one of my eyeballs!
Otherwise great. Only time will tell if it's reliable but so far, so good.

Evoke-2S 29 Jan 2009
By John R
Great radio.

Plus points: Good sound quality on both DAB and FM, even given low bit rates on DAB, and it will go very loud. The display is clear and smooth-scrolling. DAB sensitivity is extremely good and this is the only DAB radio I have that doesn't need an external aerial for some of the weaker stations. However, it does need the aerial well extended and under kitchen work units this is not always possible. Fortunately, an external aerial can be used with this radio, unlike the Evoke Flow. Low standby power consumption, an option to vary display brightness in standby, very useful alarm settings (weekdays only, for example).

Minus points: One minor annoyance - the claimed 50 presets require scrolling through a list for anything higher than preset number 6. Other radios just require the + button pressed to step up, so for 6 buttons, 1 would become 7, 2 become 8 etc. With this radio you might just as well scroll through the entire list of available stations as it's scarcely slower than using presets and only involves using one control. It's a big enough box to have some room for a few more preset buttons that would have been far more convenient. Minor gripes - a usb or sd card mp3 player would have been nice at this price point and the stepped volume control makes getting the right very low volume level for late night bedside listening a little awkward.

Overall highly recommended.

John
