Pure have used their expertise as world leaders in DAB to produce a radio that not only sounds great but is intuitive and easy to use too. From our state-of-the-art headquarters near London, we aim to unite the world of music and radio with timelessly beautiful designs, unrivalled sound quality and flawless connectivity. Additional features: In addition to sound, Bluetooth radios with DAB+ technology can transmit images, information regarding the station, title or artist, and even videos, if the station allows for it.

Compared to FM (Frequency Modulation) radios, DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) radios offer several advantages. DAB+ digital radios have been developed and launched in Europe from the late 1980s. They transmit radio signals digitally, resulting in better sound quality. In addition, DAB radios offer an extended choice of content, as more radio stations (radio programmes) can be transmitted on a single frequency. DAB radios are less prone to failure and come with less static noise than FM radios. At the same time they offer more options for interaction, as they can receive text, images or even videos in addition to sound. The one slightly fiddly element is Listen Later, new to this second-generation Classic model. This allows you to record a programme to listen to at a later date, but the execution of this feature is deliberately limiting – and pretty old-school in its approach. Only one recording can be stored and the timing of it has to be set manually. There’s no EPG-like functionality here, although you can set a regular time to record each day or week.Diversity can be so easy: Do you want to tune in and listen to classic USW or DAB/DAB+ radio? Or do you prefer to dial up your Spotify Connect via Bluetooth - be it from your smartphone, tablet or notebook? Or, easier yet, how about connecting, for instance, your turntable to your Pure radio via AUX for even greater choice?

Reception of DAB and FM radio stations is comparable to other portable radios we have tested. The radio struggled to receive Times Radio in our location, but this is the same with radios we’ve tested from Roberts and Sony. Sometimes FM stations can sound distorted as it attempts to receive the station in stereo. An option in the menu allows for ‘forced mono’ which may help with weaker stations.

Another important benefit of DAB+ is the increasingly efficient use of available frequencies. Thanks to data compression technologies, different radio stations can be transmitted on a single frequency, thus reducing the number of necessary frequencies and optimising their use. Digital radio - how does it work? The finish on the buttons has been toned down from bright chrome to clouded silver – and the main control dial is now finished in ridged concentric circles. The ReVu function, used to pause radio, has been replaced with the Listen Later feature. Allowing full recording of programmes, it’s slightly more ambitious than ReVu – more on it later.An extra Pure-exclusive treat is a wealth of free sound loops – loads of the things – from a Moorhen’s call to “Dog Barking in the Wind” and the sound of 1994 Toyota Supra engine. Some require a certain masochistic streak to want to listen to, but equally some relaxation classics are in there too. It’s quite simple: DAB+ radios allow you to receive all your preferred stations at the best possible quality and without any static noise. The advantages of DAB and DAB+ at a glance:

The Pure One Classic Series 2 showcases its information on an LCD display, which can present up to 32 digits at a time. The display type is clear and easy to read, providing users with a seamless navigation experience. To browse the list of stations the forward/Stations button has to be pressed first. This opens the list of stored stations which can be browsed by turning the rotary knob left and right. A different station can be selected by pushing in the knob. This works well but if you forget to press the Stations button first you’ll find yourself changing the volume. The manual for the Pure One doesn’t list a way to display the serial number. We’ve tried on our One Mi Series 2 and can only see the software version and the device identifier. If you still have the box for the radio the serial number may be displayed on the outside.Our mission is to make complex audio devices and technologies so simple, easy and intuitive that everyone can enjoy listening to their daily audio dose with our devices. Pure pioneered DAB radios in the digital radio industry more than 20 years ago and has built a reputation for timeless, beautiful design, high quality and great sounding audio. And as if that was not enough, DAB/DAB+ devices are substantially more energy efficient while also offering much more variety in terms of stations (radio programmes) than classic FM receivers. Plus, DAB/DAB+ can receive data such as song title, album, artist, album cover images or even videos in addition to sound and music.

It gives access to Podcasts, Internet Radio stations and, once you’ve registered online, FlowSongs, which is Pure’s own music store.
