AverageThe Tivoli Model One Bluetooth AM/FM Radio in Black/Silver pairs new age technology with old-school functionality. It features a simple interface, room-filling sound and Bluetooth connectivity for Bluetooth-enabled devices.
After turning the radio on, the sensitive AM/FM tuner handles station identification, and pours music through the 3" full-range long throw drivers in the speaker. Clear hi-fidelity sound, just like desktop AM/FM radios of the past. But then it gets new school.
The Model One also allows you to stream audio wirelessly through the integrated Bluetooth receiver, which uses advanced A2DP technology for high quality wireless audio. The Model One also features FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) - usually lauded by RC model car enthusiasts as the best technology to hit the market in the last five years - which narrows the frequency across the spectrum in short "hops" instead of a single signal, thereby intercepting and eliminating interference from other devices on the 2.4GHz band. What you get is an almost interference-free Bluetooth experience.
Along with FHSS, this model features an auxiliary input and stereo headphone output just in case you want to go old school with your peripherals, like a connected iPod or coil-connected large-earpad headphones. It also includes a Record output so that you can attach recording devices (like a cassette deck) and get back into creating mix-tapes for yourself. The standard 30' reception range for Bluetooth and device pairing functionality is present here as well.
A simple AM/FM radio with technological muscle is what makes the Tivoli Model One Bluetooth Am/FM radio a must have for dorm rooms, kitchens or anywhere that you want clear, connected sound.
