PURE EVOKE Mio Midnight, Rechargeable DAB/FM Radio

With our well-known green credentials we're all for recycling here at PURE, so when we saw the opportunity to reuse a few design ideas from the 1950s, update the technology and add a PURE twist, we jumped at it.The resulting radio is as cute as it gets, so cute that we think it'll still look good in the 2050s. Available in a selection of colour options, EVOKE Mio's casework is clad in a two-tone leather and suede effect finish with contrast stitching on the carry handle. Click here to see the range

More than just a design exercise, Mio sounds fantastic too. And so it should: under its retro-modern skin is our very own EVOKE-1S, What Hi-Fi Sound & Vision's 'Best Portable DAB Radio of 2007'.

Mio is our first portable radio to come with a removable ChargePAK pre-installed. Plug it in when you can and the ChargePAK charges while you listen; unplug it, and you've up to 24 hours portable DAB listening per charge.

A classic easy-to-use radio, Mio also includes an input for your iPod/MP3 player, Intellitext® and textSCAN™, FM with RDS, a striking new auto-dimming OLED display, an alarm, a kitchen timer and a USB connector for future product upgrades.

Energy Saving Recommended

PURE are proud to be able to say that fourteen PURE radios are recommended by the Energy Saving Trust. The PURE Move received the first ever Energy Saving Recommended ("ESR") endorsement for a radio and now the EVOKE Mio has also received ESR accreditation.

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 recommended radios for less power than a single low energy light bulb?*

*A PURE 'Energy Saving Trust accredited' digital radio consumers 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).

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