Tivoli Audio Model one am/ FM table radio, classic/ walnut
.com
----
The Tivoli Model One has been praised far and wide for its
high-quality sound, small size, and cool, retro styling. We got
our hands on a sample unit and came away impressed, just as many
others have. Anyone who wants a compact, stylish radio with
surprisingly good sound should give the Model One a look.
Design
In many ways, the Model One is the culminating achievement of
famed audio engineer Henry Kloss's long career. Designed from the
ground up by Kloss, who passed away in 2002, the radio exudes
understated class and elegant simplicity. We received the
Platinum Series Model One, which features a hand-lacquered, high
gloss dark walnut cabinet that is simply gorgeous. According to
Tivoli, the genuine wood casing isn't just for looks as it
provides "an acoustically inert housing" that maximizes the
speaker's sound quality. At just over 8 inches wide, 4.5 inches
high, and 5.25 inches deep, the Model One is about the size of a
toaster turned on its side-- plenty small to fit on a desk,
dresser, or nightstand.
The Model One's single rotary dial handles tuning for both AM
and FM stations. It feels sturdy and smooth in the hand. The dial
is designed to move between stations at a speed that is a bit
slower than the speed at which the user turns the knob-- a 5 to 1
ratio, to be exact. This "ratio" dialing technique makes it far
easier to tune stations accurately and quickly. It's a nice touch
that sets the unit apart from other desktop radios.
The tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control.
Plus, they're well designed for hands of all sizes. A small LED
power indicator, as well as an LED that helps determine signal
strength, are positioned between the dials. We liked the
light-colored face and dark lettering printed on the Platinum
Series model we reviewed; it made for easy operation in dimly-lit
rooms. The Model One's single, 3" driver is protected by a
handsome metal speaker cover. Tivoli adds that the speaker is
enhanced by a "multi-stage frequency contouring circuit that
adjusts the speaker's output over half-octave increments." The
result, Tivoli cls, is "musically accurate tonal balance and
bass response."
The back of the unit features a coaxial antenna jack for the
included FM antenna wire. While the Model One also has an
internal FM antenna, Tivoli recommends using the supplied
external one for tricky tuning in locales with a lot of stations
crammed together. There's a handy switch for sw between
the internal and external antennae. A standard 3.5mm headphone
jack is also provided, as is a 3.5mm auxiliary line in port for
plugging in your iPod or other music device. If you want to use
the Model One as a component tuner-- not a bad idea given the
overall quality and accuracy of the tuning circuitry-- Tivoli has
provided a 3.5mm output port. The back panel also sports separate
ports for AC and DC power, making the unit a great choice for
boating or RV use.
Listening Pleasure
As with the Tivoli iPal ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002GOH6A/${0} )
portable speaker system, we were initially skeptical about the
performance of a small, one-speaker unit that only offers
monaural sound. The reality is that most small two-speaker
systems don't allow you to place the speakers very far apart
anyway, and the Model One's rich, resonant sound more than made
up for its lack of true stereo separation. Plus, the Model One is
a single, elegant box with no annoying speaker cords.
While the Model One isn't designed to provide earth-shattering
sound at high volume, it produces surprising clarity and fullness
at normal listening levels. When turned all the way up, the
unit's rich sound persists and we suspect that Tivoli engineered
the Model One's volume level to max out before any distortion
arises. If you don't need a lot of volume, the Model One
delivers. As with the iPal, we were left scratching our heads and
wondering how such great sound could come from such a little box.
The Model One's tuning accuracy is also impressive; we were able
to dial in stations we didn't even know existed. Tivoli says this
is due to the unit's discrete-component FM tuner technology,
which was originally developed for cellular telephones. Whatever
Tivoli has done here, they did it right; closely-spaced stations
are a breeze to tune.
Pros
* Compact form factor
* Excellent sound
* Supremely accurate tuning Cons
* Not engineered to produce extremely high volume levels

From the Manufacturer

The Tivoli Audio® Model One® AM/FM table radio has been
described as the best sounding table radio ever made,(MSNBC)
offering the kind of room-filling sound that many other radios
cl to deliver but often don't. (Forbes)

Where performance and simplicity are para but space is
sparse, the Model One table radio fits the bill. With just three
knobs, it is the antithesis of today's ever more complex
electronic products. The Model One gets more stations than other
radios because of its state of the art, Henry Kloss designed
discrete-component FM tuner using technology originally developed
for cellular telephones. This technology gives better FM
reception and increased clarity on closely spaced stations.
Features include a furniture-grade, handmade wood cabinet that
doubles as an acoustically inert housing and a heavy-magnet,
long-throw 3-inch speaker that provides musically accurate tonal
balance and bass response. Its large analog-tuning knob with
geared-down 5:1 tuning ratio permits easy and accurate tuning.
The amber tuning indicator lets you know when you've achieved
proper tuning. Built-in AM and FM antennas provide satisfying
reception.
Like all Tivoli Audio products, the Model One AM/FM table radio
is compatible with iPod and other mp3 players through the
auxiliary input offered on the back of the unit. It also offers
an external FM antenna input that allows for improved tuning in
difficult reception areas, as well as a headphone jack, and a
record output for , or to use the Model One as a
high-quality outboard tuner.
Available in several finishes such as Walnut/Beige, Black
Ash/Silver, Cherry/Cobalt Blue, le/Hunter Green,
Cherry/Silver, and White/Silver.
The Model one is also made available through Platinum Series
collection in Piano Black/Silver and Dark Walnut/Beige or the
Frost White Collection in the following finishes; Frost
White/Atlantic Blue, Frost White/ Kelly Green, Frost White/Ember
Red, Frost White/Sunflower Yellow, and Frost White/Snow White.
An external FM antenna and 9' power cord are included in the
box. One year warranty.
