Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Hailed by the press as "The Best Portable Digital Radio In The World", "DAB radio at its finest" and "the best DAB radio we've come across",* EVOKE-3 is quite simply the most critically acclaimed and awarded DAB digital radio in the world.

EVOKE-3 comes packed with features, all easily accessible via its intuitive menu system and eight-line graphical display. View Electronic Programme Guide listings for seven days, choose the programmes you like, set multiple record times and EVOKE-3 will record over 30 hours of radio to SD memory card.+ Or play MP3s from the SD card if you prefer. And if your DAB listening is interrupted you can pause and rewind live radio using the PURE ReVu feature.

Truly versatile, EVOKE-3 can be used to amplify your iPod or as an input to your hi-fi and its USB connector means it's easy to upgrade too. EVOKE-3 is also now part of PURE's EcoPlus range - designed with the environment in mind.

We'll leave the final word to What Hi-Fi Sound & Vision magazine: "For those who want it all, this is all you want."

With Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) you'll discover a broader range of music, debate and ideas, all in crystal clear digital sound. DAB 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 - With up to 55 DAB stations available in many areas, and more on the way, you'll be spoilt for listening choice. As well as existing favourites like BBC radios 1-4, BBC Radio 5 live, Classic FM and talkSPORT, there are also great exclusive-to-digital stations such as BBC 7, 1Xtra, Planet Rock, BBC 6 Music and BBC 5 live Sports Extra. Digital sound quality - DAB is crackle-clear and hiss-free because it's not subject to the same interference as analogue radio. Extra features - Even though they're easier to use, digital radios are capable of more.

There's DAB scrolling text to show track titles, artists' names, news and sports results. Some models allow you to pause and rewind live DAB radio, see what's coming up next, record your favourite songs or programmes to SD card and upgrade the radio via USB.DAB Stations - There's more listening choice on DAB too. These great stations and many more are available in the UK on DAB digital radio. As DAB coverage varies, remember to check which stations are available in your area.

All EcoPlus products are designed and manufactured to minimise their environmental impact, with: reduced power consumption (see graph opposite) use of materials from recycled and sustainable sources reduced packaging size for transport efficiency components selected to minimise environmental impact

* T3 Nov 2006, TrustedReviews.com July 2006, and GadgetCandy.com June 2006 respectively. + Based on typical broadcast of 128 kbps recorded to 2GB SD card (card not included).

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one piece of audio equipment you need, 1 Jun 2006
    This is a totally intuitive product. It is easy to record a radio programme to memory card. Just scroll to the programme in the menu, and click! Who needs a manual?! I have even updated the software on it via USB by following the on-screen menu.

    I had to 'liquidate' my main Hi-Fi gear some time ago (post divorce). I had a mix of Musical Fidelity and Arcam equipment. Now listen, I am not for a minute saying that this radio is better than high-end audio equipment, that would be daft! But I'm only in a flat at the moment, and for me with my iPod plugged into the Evoke-3, the sound quality makes the price tag look ridiculously low. That's regardless of the radio recording and pausing ability, all the alarms you can set up, the remote control, and more! It's a marvellous piece of cutting-edge equipment that is easy to use and excellent value.

    You'll wonder how you managed without instant and timed digital recording and the sound quality is great. It will quickly make all your other radios redundant in more ways than one.

    It's a pleasure to use and a tremendously high quality piece of equipment.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Superb sound quality but... WARNING! CHARGEPAK IS A FIRE HAZARD!, 11 May 2007
    By 
    P. O'HEA "etherthepeter" (Hampshire UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    The Evoke-3 is a superbly built product, feature rich while offering great sound quality.

    However, be warned about the rechargeable battery pack, the ChargePak+, which is sold as an accessory by Pure Digital. Two battery packs supplied to me have failed so far. The first one generated so much heat that I deemed it to be a FIRE RISK. A warm battery is OK but the excess heat from my first battery almost deformed the rear casing of the DAB radio.

    I am now having to return a second battery pack to Pure Digital as the replacement unit has failed too.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for radio addicts, 22 Aug 2006
    By 
    S. Venables (Worcestershire, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Yes, this really is Sky+ for radio - and more! One-touch recording from the Electronic Program Guide, recording of whole series of programs using timed recording, good sound quality, intuitive controls, line-in playback - everything just works beautifully, what's not to like? Well, it is a little expensive, there's no SD card or usb cable included (you'll need a printer-style A to B cable for software updates) and it would be nice if the mp3 player remembered the position of the track it was playing when you switched off, so you could resume the track where you left off, but these are minor points. Overall, an amazing product. Buy with confidence!
