What Hi Fi? Sound and Vision

There's nothing about the PURE that could possibly disappoint. It's a super-sounding class leading piece of portable kit.. - a DAB radio to die for.

Product Description

EVOKE-2 offers you more stations than ever before with the wide range of national, local and unique-to-digital DAB stations plus FM for local stations that haven?t yet adopted DAB. Brought to you by PURE, the world?s leading manufacturer of DAB digital radios, EVOKE-2 is a stylish stereo radio featuring DAB scrolling text that shows song titles, artists names, news, sports results and more. EVOKE-2 is tuned at the touch of a button and there?s no need to remember DAB station frequencies, just scroll through a list of station names. You can even choose to list your favourite stations first. With up to 10 hours battery life, EVOKE-2 sounds great in the kitchen, lounge or study and can be disconnected from the mains for trips to the garden, workshop or bathroom. Ease of Use Select DAB stations by name not frequency. Scrolling text shows programme content. One touch autotune. Six DAB and six FM presets.

I received my Evoke2-xt on Saturday and set it up in the company of my wife and her family. All of us were amazed at the sound quality. It is closer to that of a properly configured budget separates system than a portable radio. The clarity and overall quality of sound is a real shock for this first time DAB user. I toyed with the idea of the portable Pure DAB but I didn't like the reports of battery life or performance. The XT mates very well with the Sennheiser PX100 headphones (a tip I picked up from WhatHifi 2005 awards).

I live in an area where the BBC DAB site says 'may receive signal'. Downstairs I get absolutely nothing but upstairs i have all the channels i want and many more besides. This is probably due more to the construction of my house rather than signal problems in the area (suspended concrete floors).

Build quality is excellent and the unit is very tactile. I looks good both close up and from a distance. The sound quality is good with the volume cranked up.

All in all this radio is the business.

Excellent... 12 Jan 2006
By Matthew
I bought this radio about a year ago - having read the reviews beforehand I couldn't believe a product could be as good as they were saying: It is, and better. Sound quality astonishing given it's size, and it's design fits in with anything - contemporary or modern. Mains and battery powered for max convenience. Sound clarity is CD standard (you keep on thinking you need to change the CD!) and useability excellent - scrolling alphabetically through the stations. Downsides: radio loses your pre-set stations when batteries run out of juice and chews its way through batteries - you'd be lucky if they last more than a couple of hours. Otherwise one of the best purchases I've ever made.

I recently bought the Pure Evoke 2XT and have been delighted with it. I am impressed with the sound quality, build quality and ease of use. It is also attractive and combines traditional looks with hitec workings. Prior to purchase I made a side by side comparison with a Roberts RD 27, and the sound quality
over a range of stations was far better with the Pure. Unlike the Roberts, the 2XT does not have Pause/play.
I would highly recommend the Pure!

Be very careful if you chose the Pure Evoke range. Mine (2XT) went wrong, the volume went to about mid range and cannot be turned lower. Read more

crazy volume control knob
yes the sound is good but volume control is apalling. Radio goes from quiet to really loud with the slightest turn (and I really do mean the slightest turn) of the 'control' knob. Read more

I chose this model as 1. it has a detachable arial into which an external arial can be plugged 2, it can be powered by 12v (or 9v) DC, and my radio is for a boat with more 12volt... Read more

Good product - once it had been replaced. Better time management...
I bought this item to replace my bedside Pure Evoke 1S which I had damaged by my own carelessness. When it arrived there was something wrong with the software. Read more
