Pure digital radios

 

From the world leaders in DAB radio comes Siesta - an affordable and stylish way to wake up to the choice and quality of DAB digital radio.

Full featured DAB radio alarm clock

Adding affordable and stylish DAB digital radio to your bedroom, Siesta has all the features you’ll need – three independent alarms, adjustable sleep and snooze timers, a large display with automatic brightness control and a large easy-to-reach snooze button. All in a compact design that produces quality audio without taking up too much space.

Siesta’s alarms can be set to wake to tone, DAB or FM and set for different times for weekdays and weekends. The light sensor automatically adjusts the display brightness to suit the light levels in your room and you can use headphones (mutes the speaker) or connect the headphone output to your stereo and use your Siesta as a DAB tuner.

If you haven't experienced DAB digital radio yet, you're in for a treat. Select stations by name; check out news, results, track titles, artist names and more on the scrolling text display; tune at the touch of a button; and listen in crisp, clear digital-quality sound. Siesta even includes FM with RDS for local stations and radio reception in remote areas.

Products endorsed by the scheme have to satisfy an Independent Endorsement Panel of experts, and have to meet strict energy efficiency criteria which means they are not only better for the environment but are also cheaper to run.

DAB logo

With Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) you’ll discover a broader range of music, debate and ideas, all in crystal clear digital sound.
Many extra stations are available with DAB radio

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 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 1Xtra, BBC 5 live Sports Extra, BBC 6 Music, BBC 7 and Planet Rock.

Digital Sound Quality
DAB is crackle-clear and hiss-free because it’s not subject to the same interference as analogue radio.

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.

 

Main Features:
Independent Alarms

Independent Alarms
Three independent alarms: wake to tone, DAB or FM and set different times for weekdays and weekends
Sleep and Snooze Timers

4.0 out of 5 stars Great at the price!, 5 Oct 2007
By M. Cooper "mikecooperuk" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My Pure Siesta arrived yesterday and I'm very happy with it!

I recently bought a Pure ONE for the kitchen, which is excellent too. Pure seem to have taken the best bits of their more expensive, wood-cased models, and put them into plastic cases for those of us who want quality but don't want to pay quite so much. You don't get quite the same looks, but the sound from both units is pretty damn good, especially considering they're mono units. They're better with speech, with a nice, warm sound, but they don't disgrace themselves with music either.

The Siesta looks great, though the display is the one thing I'm not completely in love with: the clock is just slightly too small for peering at in the middle of the night, and being a backlit LCD it's less than readable when looking down on the unit from above. The scrolling text display is a bit "jumpy" too, though it can be set to display other things if it annoys you.

There's a headphone socket at back on the top, so if you want to fall asleep to Test Match Special without disturbing anyone else, you can!

Sensitivity seems to have improved a lot since my first DAB radio a couple of years back. Both the Siesta and the ONE pull in everything on the London multiplexes, even in our basement (in the ONE's case even with the aerial down!) at nearly 100% signal quality, whereas my old radio couldn't even do this with the aerial up... in the garden...

I read a review elsewhere from someone complaining that the alarms were tricky to set. The process is a bit "involved" but very logical, and the flipside is that you get a lot of versatility: four alarms, each of which can be daily, weekdays, weekends, Saturday, Sunday or once only to eiteher DAB, FM or the beeper.

I was a little disappointed that, given this flexibility, it's not possible to set which station you want to wake up with and are stuck with the one you last listened to. So, if you want to drift off to sleep with the Shipping Forecast on Radio 4 and wake up with Chris Moyles on Radio 1... you can't. Nor can you get up to one station and your partner have a lie-in and wake up to something else an hour later.

I'm sure this kind of thing can be changed later if enough people want it, and the Siesta, like most of Pure's new range, has upgradable software via a USB port using a PC (but not a Mac, unfortunately).

One small point: the DAB we currently have in the UK will eventually be superseded by DAB+ using a more efficient audio "codec" (HE-AAC v2 as opposed to MPEG1 Audio Layer 2, for those who are interested). Though most existing DAB radios aren't compatible with the new DAB+, DAB transmissions will continue for many years to come. The Siesta has been designed so that it can be upgraded to the new codec at the appropriate time (though sadly my ONE can't).

All in all this is a terrific radio for the bedroom and the worth every penny. It looks great, doesn't take up too much room and goes more than loud enough for most bedrooms.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, affordable DAB Clock Radio, 27 Oct 2007
By Ian King (London) - See all my reviews
Clock radios tend to be quite personal devices - each buyer has their own particular list of must-have features. I already had a DAB radio for use in the house and I've been looking for a DAB clock radio for the bedroom. Until now I didn't like the price or features of the various offerings. The Pure Siesta is the first one that seemed to fit the bill.

The features I really like are:
- It's a DAB! That means nice clear reception for stations like 5-Live which are otherwise available only on MW. You can also listen to a much wider range of stations. It also means that you don't have to set the clock - it does it all automatically.
- Nice clear display. Pure's other clock radio uses their standard 2 line display which is OK for normal radios but not great for a clock radio. The Siesta's display is nice and large, contains lots of detail and its brightness adjusts automatically depending on the surrounding light so it doesn't keep you awake by being too bright. It's a backlit LCD type so the viewing angles won't please everyone but I think it's good.
- Lots of alarms - well 3 to be precise. Each one is very flexible and can wake you up to DAB, FM or a tone alarm.
- You can set the wake-up volume of the radio alarms. This was a key feature for me. This enables you to go to sleep to a low volume radio but wake up to a much louder volume.
- The buttons are well laid out and it's easy enough to navigate all of the functions in the dark. The number of functions means it's often necessary to press several buttons to access something, but it's all quite easy. The buttons are a bit clunky, which won't please everyone but you get used to their feel. My only slight criticism is that it doesn't have one-touch radio station presets, you have to access a menu of your preset stations.
- The reception on both FM and DAB is up to Pure's usual high standard.
- The Pure Siesta remembers all your settings and favourite stations if you unplug it or have a power cut.

There's not much to dislike. My only criticism, as mentioned by other reviewers, is that you can't set the radio station you wake up to (you can only set DAB or FM and it uses the last station that you tuned to). As others have also mentioned you can overcome this by waking up to FM and leaving the FM station set to the one you want to wake up to. Then just use the DAB side for normal radio listening.

I think this is an excellent device - I'm glad I waited for this model before buying one. I downloaded the user manual from Pure's website before buying it - that way you can find out exactly how each feature works before deciding if it's right for you.

I give it a solid recommendation.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great radio - shame about the clock, 4 Dec 2007
By Mr. J. A. Clark (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I recently bought one of these and want to point out that when the other reviewers said the display is dim, you need to know that it is REALLY dim, especially at night when it's almost impossible to read. Additionally, the size of the numbers is very small, and if you are like me and don't wear your glasses in bed, it will be very hard to read the display with this particular model.

The sound quality of the radio is decent enough, and it's nice being able to set an alarm that only goes off on weekdays.

However the display is a major drawback, and I could not recommend this product to anyone else.
