Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Wake up to perfect radio with PURE TEMPUS-1, a bedside radio with an innate sense of timing. Offering the same digital-quality, interference-free audio as EVOKE-1, the world's most popular DAB radio, TEMPUS-1 also offers a host of new features that make it the perfect bedside companion.

A sleep timer and programmable alarms enable you to fall asleep listening to one station and wake up to another (or a simple alarm tone if you prefer). You can even set two different alarm times, each with different settings for weekdays and weekends. Innovative SnoozeHandle technology means that when the alarm goes off a simple touch on TEMPUS-1's handle sets the alarm to snooze or, at other times, illuminates the full-screen clock for easy night-time viewing.

Featuring digital optical and analogue outputs for connection to your hi-fi as a DAB tuner, TEMPUS-1 also has a sophisticated record timer, enabling you to record your favourite programmes to a MiniDisc or CD-R recorder.

5.0 out of 5 stars The little box that does a lot...., 12 Sep 2004

By A Customer

I recently purchased the Pure Evoke 1 radio and having been thoroughly smitten by it and all its great features, I decided to upgrade to the Tempus-1 model so that I could wake up to digital radio in the mornings. This has all the great features of the Evoke 1 plus more. The snooze handle is the best thing for me; it is a rigid handle which you just have to touch to activate the feature, rather like a touch light.

As well as being a great DAB radio, with all the benefits that this provides, it is probably the best clock radio on the market. Whoever designed this REALLY did their research. The sleep button lets you fall asleep to one station and awake to a different one. Multiple alarm functions let you customise your wake-up call to exactly how you want it. You can choose from weekday and weekend settings, length of snooze time, dual alarm, radio or tone mode and you can even choose the station to wake up to (perfect if you don't want to hear a Smashey or Nicey type first thing on a cold Monday morning!)

I love the fact that the time sets itself from the digital signal and even allows for British Summer Time alterations and vice versa. I tend to move this radio from room to room and I like that I don't have to reset the time and alarms constantly. The same applies if you have a powercut, the settings are still stored I really love this radio and would strongly suggest you invest that little bit extra for this model if you are thinking about upgrading to DAB. Although it is not fully portable, it can still double up as your kitchen/shed/garage radio provided that you have enough spare sockets in your house.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pure Tempus, 16 Feb 2006

By	m tennant "technicalrev" (united kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

The pure tempus-1 is a fantastic digital radio. This radio produces a high quality sound and is extremely easy to use with a one touch autotune to locate all your available dab stations, tune by name not by frequency and it has 10 available presets for your top ten stations. The Tempus1 has a bright blue lcd display which displays the time when the radio is in standby mode. The time is set automatily by the broadcast signal. The tempus 1 also doubles as a bedside alarm clock. The radio has dual alarms which means you can set different times for you and your partner or for weekdays and weekends. One of the best functions of the alarm are that the two alarms can be set of to go of to different radio stations or just a good old fashioned alarm tone. Do you like going to sleep to the radio? Then this is for you as the tempus 1 has a sleep button on it that allows you to set the radio to go off after between 15 and 90 mins. On the reverse side of the radio there are a usb connector (to allow software upgrades to the tempus), a optical digital out, stereo line out, headphone socket and st1 speaker slot. The radio comes with a two year quarantee. Now why only four stars? Well the radio has no fm signal and has only a mono sound but this is not a major problem as you can buy an aditional speaker for around £30 pounds to make it stereo and also at the current time not all stations are broadcast in stereo. The pure digital tempus 1 is well worth a look at.

5.0 out of 5 stars The little box that really rocks !, 23 Aug 2004

By	C. Blair - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Below is a straight talking summary of the many features of the PURE TEMPUS-1
We all know the ability of digital radio to recieve and broadcast perfect sound quality and this little radio is no exception to the rule.
The first thing you will notice upon oppening the box is the fact that the Tempus comes with a 12volt mains adaptor with an impressive 3Mt or 10Ft lead length giving you good flexibility in were you can position your unit.
Don't be fulled by the deceptive appearance of this radio as the features are many.

To list the most impressive are as follows -:

1/The display is a two line high contrast white on blue background

2/Tunning is a breeze once switched on for the first time the unit automaticaly tunes in all available stations

3/Tempus also has a more than impressive 10 station presets

4/retuning couldn't be easier just hit the retune button and the unit again stores all available stations without affecting your presets. This is also useful for checking periodically for any new stations that you recive.

5/All stations can be accesed via a tunning knob which you simpaly rotate to view all stations available to you without
inturupting the recption of your current station by diplayng the new station on the lower line of the display and when you reach one you want to switch to you simply depress the same button and hey-presto your tuned.(you can of course still use your preset buttons)

6/You can drift of to sleep listining to one radio station (via sleep function)and awaken to another as the duel alarm allows you to set any stored station to the alarm.It goes witout saying that you can also wake to a buzzer.

7/Alarms can be set for Daily / Weekday or Weekend giving you a large selection of options . ie.. weekday 7.00am buzzer (alarm 1) and weekend 9.00am Radio 2 (alarm 2) both of which can be on together. Or a his and hers alarm at different times on the same days

8/This radio does have a telescopic aerial which i have tested by autotunning with it in the closed position and then again with it fully extended and i was not able to recive any more stations than when it was down, so this unit not only sounds grest but also looks great

9/ The display can be adjusted to two levels of brightness both when the unit is on and in stand-by mode so as not to be to bright at night and ofcourse you also have the option of having the display off when the radio is off.All you have to do then is toutch the handel and the clock appears atr the lower light level for 5 seconds. This handel also acts as a snooze button (a nice toutch)

10/ The Display of the Tempus will display the following information each time the "info" button is pressed (a) Scrolling text (b)Clock (c) Day and Date (d) Programme genre
(e) Multiplexer name (f) Programme name (g)Signal mode
(h)signal quality

11/To find out the stations you will be capable of picking up log onto www.ukdigitalradio.com/coverage and click postcode search. Then enter your post code in full (you do know it!) and this will bring up a list of stations and a brief discription of the programme type

The Tempus-1 also has the ability to be updated via software upgrades through the USB socket on the rear of the unit.To the rear it also has a headphone socket and an auxiliary speaker socket for the matching second speaker that is also available.
There you will also find a digital out port for connecting such items as CDR'S or Minidisc players.

This is a quality item worthy of much praise
