RevoSuper Signal Deluxe DAB Table Radio with DAB/DAB+/FM Reception, Digital Alarm and Bluetooth Wireless Streaming - Walnut / Black

Unlike many of the reviewers here, I was specifically looking for a radio with Bluetooth and a decent remote control, along with great sound and a small footprint. My bedroom radio lives in the far corner of the (fairly small) room rather than on the bedside table, as I can’t bear sound blasting into one ear. A recent knee injury elevated a remote control from ‘nice idea’ to ‘really useful’ so I started looking for a candidate.There don’t seem to be many radios out there with a physical IR remote (who wants to be faffing around with a phone app in the middle of the night?) The Pure Evoke series look lovely, but their remote controls seem like a waste of time as you’d have to get out of bed to switch the device back to radio after using Bluetooth. They also appear to lack any tone control, which I find essential as I nearly always have to boost the treble and lower the bass for speech as speakers become ever more bass-heavy. The Roberts Blutune was a contender but I’d read some mixed reviews of its sound quality and it’s a bit big for the limited space in my room.Having decided to sacrifice stereo speakers and go for the Revo Supersignal, I was still a bit dubious about the radio’s appearance, but once I got it out of the box it was love at first sight. The quirky retro-industrial look might be a bit obtrusive in a bigger device but in such a small unit it just gives a quality, stylish look. Were it in a more public part of the house I’m sure it would be a great talking point.This is a supremely functional device. It picks up rock solid signals on DAB and FM, its menu system is totally intuitive and the huge, clear display makes it easy to operate from across the room. Yes, the minimum display is very bright at night time but you can now get an update from Revo to switch it off completely on standby. [And the software updater will run on a 64 bit machine with Win8.1 32 bit – just search for a guide on switching off the requirement for digital signing of drivers.] Bluetooth pairing is simple and reliable from my phone and my Cowon X7. Above all, I absolutely love the remote control. It’s big and solid like a chunky chocolate bar and just as reassuring. Buttons are widely spaced and in two colours – it’s a cinch to find and operate even in the dark – and it controls absolutely every feature of the radio.The most important aspect of an audio device has to be the sound, of course. I got off to a bad start here, as my radio seemed to have a very harsh, almost scratchy quality in the treble. Thanks to the quick response from other Amazon reviewers it was apparent that I’d got a duff unit. Amazon excelled themselves and couriered a replacement to me in 24 hours and I can now report that the Supersignal sounds amazing. It took a couple of days to get used to the clarity and brightness of the treble but the more I listen, the more I love it. Talk radio, podcasts and audiobooks are crystal clear and I’ve yet to find a musical style that doesn’t sound good, even over Bluetooth, although the quality of the recording/stream will show up. Streaming jazz and baroque from Qobuz or audiophile internet radio at 320kps is a real pleasure and flac files from the Cowon sound just great, whether I’m hankering for a thumping funk bass or some ethereal choral music.The icing on the cake is the friendly and helpful Revo service team, who got back to me very quickly regarding the software update. They’re a Scottish company making a quality, distinctive product and they listen and respond to their customers. What’s not to like?Well worth the money and highly recommended.Update 15th November 2015: Still loving the Supersignal - finding it hard to get out of bed at weekends because I'm enjoying listening to it so much! Last week I added a £30 Chromecast Audio to the auxiliary 3.5mm input socket and now have high quality streaming from all sorts of Internet sources in the package as well, without having to use the phone's bluetooth. A winning combination.

Packaging: Premium, sturdy and well thought outAccessories: Came with power lead and various interchangeable plugs including UK 3 pin. Remote was the standard slimline offering you get these days, however it feels better made and very responsive in comparison to the remote for my Edifier speakers, for example. Remote has everything you need to control the Super Signal without having to use the controls on the unit itself.Build quality: for the offer price at the £160 mark all I can say is "wow!". It is weighty and the wood finish is first class in looks and touch. The grille feels thin but solid and the dial, joystick & buttons are all plastic but well constructed and have the correct quality feel when you push them / turn the volume dial. The buttons do not give you that cheap hollow feeling when used. Everything here is well engineered. The display is crisp and scrolls out plenty of information when using DAB. Cannot comment on how easy it is to scratch the screen like some reviews. This screen is immaculate and I intend to cut a tablet screen protector to size and place it over the display just in case. I inspected the unit on arrival and I could not find a single blemish or inconsistency.Sound: I have owned a variety of quality audio devices and taking into full account of the unit size; mono speaker and intended use of the Super Signal - Audio is fantastic. This is not a Hi-Fi system, it's not 7.1 surround sound, it's not intended to be the main player for a banging house party. I expect those looking at this unit want great sound in the Kitchen, Bedroom or Living room without shattering windows? This unit produces great sound range between lows, mids & highs and the soundstage & separation for a single mono speaker in a £160 unit is remarkable. The sound is rich and the base & treble can be adjusted with great results. The volume can fill any decent sized room in your home - it is loud but the volume feels conservative and sound quality does not break sweat at max. I would say volume would be great day-to-day and when having a few guests over for a party it will fill the room no problem.Features: My phone picked up the Super Signal via bluetooth instantly and connected within 5 seconds, it really was that quick and easy. Range is good with no drop outs so far. Audio quality over bluetooth is also excellent with no background hissing or muffled audio. Bluetooth seems to be receivable only so you could not pair bluetooth headphones to the device, for example. I purchased a small Aukey BT transmitter and plugged it into the headphone jack to solve this (works superbly). Not tried the AUX or phono jacks at the rear of the unit as of yet. DAB instantly searched for stations when first connected and stored everything it picked up. A massive selection of stations were detected and I still need to find time to go through them all. The antenna is old school and is massive at full extent. I like this quirk but others may prefer an internal antenna.Verdict: It is a beautiful unit for those who like the 70's styling. I feel it is so much more aesthetically pleasing than the Bose & Sonos offerings at the same price. This is not just the same old generic bluetooth speaker design, it holds character, stands out and demands to be spoken about. This ticks every single box for me and at the price it's a bargain. This one is a keeper for the long haul.

The Revo super signal is a superbly thought out radio alarm, with exemplary audio performance, beautiful craftsmanship and a strikingly retro design. In this price category it has few peers, and comprehensively outperforms the Pure equivalents.Set-up was fairly straightforward, with the time and date being set off the DAB signal. Once set up the menu system allows easy access to all of the important settings, including equaliser settings (which were adequate but I would have liked to see more customisation).Listening to the radio in both DAB and FM modes was a real pleasure, with detailed sound and a strong bass showing for such a small cabinet. Classical and acoustic performances really shined, and rock music was also handled well, although sounding a little more muddy due to its single driver design.The alarm setup is its only real stumbling point, despite having excellent customisation for radio selection and daily repeating alarms, setting of one time alarms was harder than it should be. To set an alarm for the following day only required not only a time, but a date which lead to some errors from this bleary eyed human who's bedtime had long since passed. Hopefully Revo will provide an update for a one time alarm that doesn't require a date, or defaults to the following day.All in all, revo have shown a great understanding of its customers needs and produced a product punching well above its weight, only falling short because of its slightly frustrating alarm set up.

Todo perfecto!

Ottima radio, qualità audio molto buona, molto comodo il telecomando. La qualità si vede, si tocca e si sente, tutto questo si ripercuote purtroppo sul prezzo. Mancano le istruzioni in italiano, per me non è stato un problema, è una radio i comandi sono semplici e intuitivi, niente di complicato. Comunque, per chi ha difficoltà, su internet si trova facilmente il pdf anche per la lingua italiana. Consigliato.

Ideal para habitación. Sonido y calidad de construcción excepcional.
