Super Signal Deluxe DAB Table Radio with DAB/DAB+/FM Reception, Digital Alarm and Bluetooth Wireless Streaming

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.

We have several DAB radios, but wanted another for our dining room. Our requirements were: very good sound quality; quality build & look; straight forward to operate, including pre-set buttons; DAB+ & FM; Bluetooth streaming; modest size. We didn’t need internet radio or portability, and price (within limits!) was not a factor. The SuperSignal met these requirements, and as we are delighted with a Revo Supersystem elsewhere in the house, we were confident of the brand’s quality and aesthetics. We bought this as a Revo refurbished unit, via Amazon. I have bought a couple of iMacs and Sony TVs as refurbished units from the manufacturer - and am almost more confident with these than straight production line units. The radio Is quite heavy, and has the feel of quality. It looks very good, and set up was a doddle. The five preset buttons were allocated quickly for DAB and FM, and it paired fine with my iPad. The joy stick worked well for finding and locking in on new stations. It found more stations than some of my other DAB radios - so has good sensitivity. The remote is OK, better than some of the tiddly credit sized ones, but not as chunky as the excellent remote of the Supersystem. The sound is rich and pleasing for spoken word on Radio 4, or for Radio 6 Music. The volume is excellent for its size. Very adequate for our dining room, less so if required for a large lounge. To my relief, my wife was happy with all the controls, and delighted with the sound quality. So really pleased with the purchase, and reinforced our confidence with Revo products.

I looked around for ages for a DAB Radio that also has an alarm clock, there's not many out there on the market that have good reviews. This one is a bit on the pricey side for what I was after, but Revo have a good rep and it can also be used as a bluetooth speaker. It looks very smart and is very easy to use, the preset stations are easy to set, as are the alarms which have many different settings for different days of the week, volume, station etc. The sounds is crystal clear and the bass is great, I was surprised the bluetooth function is so clear, I find bluetooth speakers never really live up to their expectation but this one copes admirably with all types of music, pop, rock, metal and classical streamed from my mobile phone. I had a couple of issues getting my bluetooth device to stream properly when I first set it up, but emailed Revo support and they had a swift response with a simple remedy. If it had any drawbacks I would say the lowest setting for the brightness of the display isn't very low and it felt quite bright to start off with. The remote is also a bit hefty, I have a feeling that will be left in a draw, but it wasn't really needed for me anyway. Don't scrimp on price, would recommend to anyone.

Calidad...

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.

Ich besaß bereits das größere Model Superconnect (inkl. WLAN) und wußte daher was ich in etwa bekommen würde. Der Klang kann nicht ganz mit dem teureren und größeren Gerät konkurieren, ist aber immer noch gut. Wer einen ausgewogenen Klang ohne großen Bassdruck möchte wird zufrieden sein. Die Tivoli-Geräte bieten für meinen Geschmack einen etwas knackigeren Bass aber das ist sicherlich geschmackssache. Über den Equalizer kann man den Klang etwas an den eigenen Geschmack anpassen. Die Einrichtung und Bedienung ist wirklich sehr einfach, das größere WLAN-Gerät kann die updates automatisch runterladen und installieren, bei diesem Model kann man es über den USB-Anschluss aktualisieren. Die Fernbedienung ist sehr praktisch. Die Verarbeitung und das Design sind erstklassig, die billigeren Alternativen wirken dagegen auch entsprechend billig. Der Preis ist zugegebenerweise recht hoch aber wer hohe Ansprüche an Verarbeitung, Design, Bedienung und Klang hat wird sehr wahrscheinlich mit den deutlich günstigeren Konkurrenz-Modellen nicht wirklich Glücklich. Als Alternativen kann ich Modelle von Ruark Audio und Tivoli empfehlen.
