Product Information

A series of digital radios designed with portability in mind. All models can be powered with AA batteries or an optional rechargeable ChargePAK. Designed with a pop button on top of the device, users can control power and volume with one touch. Recent models in the range include Bluetooth for wireless audio streaming.

Pure’s DAB+ radio with CD player is a device that can receive the digital DAB+ format and is also able to play CDs. It looks like a normal CD player but has the added functionality of a DAB+ radio. Its superiority also shows on another level: While FM only allows for one station per frequency, digital radio enables the consolidation of several radio programmes in a single channel. However, that being said, DAB is not necessarily worth it for small regional stations that only serve limited areas that are mostly not covered by DAB. What’s the difference between DAB and internet radio? In addition, this form of transmission requires the frequency to be re-tuned as soon as there is a change of location, which is unnecessary with digital audio broadcasting. But there’s more: DAB has further benefits, including the ability to receive content at high quality – and without any annoying static sound – in even the remotest area. What’s the difference between DAB and FM radio?And if that was not enough, the signal can transmit additional information such as artist, song title, album cover and even videos. 80% less energy consumption for improved signal reception is another advantage. The consequence: Radios with FM reception are hardly available these days. Obviously, this has its benefits too, as digital radio offers additional services, perfect sound quality and a myriad of programmes. DAB+ reception and sound quality

There are two power options, one the cigarette lighter approach and the second two regular AA batteries meaning you can take it away from the car giving you up to 6 hours of listening on foot. However unlike a standard satnav device the Highway doesn't feature a internal built-in battery.Pure International Ltd. is a British consumer electronics company, based in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire, founded in 2002. [1] They are best known for designing and manufacturing digital audio broadcasting (DAB) and DAB+ radios. In recent years the company has moved away from being a digital radio company to becoming a more broader audio player with products in the radio, bluetooth and wireless speaker market. The sound quality of digital radios is considerably better than that of FM radios. There is no more noise interference (you are either within or outside the broadcasting area), the transmitted frequency band is broader and the loud- and undertones are better levelled. 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. With this type, the only visible change to your car will be a new antenna. DAB radio information is displayed on your existing vehicle radio display, and you control the radio via your existing dash or steering wheel buttons. For this reason, they are suitable only for cars with dash or steering wheel controls available to be adapted.

Pure products are available in the United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland, [2] and via online suppliers. The “+” signifies the latest DAB technology. DAB+ provides even better quality in terms of reception as well as an extended choice of stations. What exactly is a DAB or DAB+ radio? At some point in the future, the government will stop using FM radio to transmit national radio stations, such as BBC Radio 4, although it's likely that FM will still be used for local and community radio stations. DAB+ radio is the successor of DAB. It comes with an increased performance since it is able to accommodate more stations on a single frequency. This requires a higher degree of compression with high-quality codes along with more powerful terminal devices. What’s better, FM or DAB radios?The next step up from DAB is DAB+. It refines the DAB technology to allow even more stations onto one frequency. Be careful however, while DAB+ can accept regular DAB, this isn’t true the other way around. Look for DAB+ or even in-car WiFi setups to futureproof yourself. Will it fit my car?

Reception was excellent on our test route, with no drop-outs. The Pure also has Bluetooth to connect your phone to play music (including streaming services such as Spotify), but will not allow you to make hands-free calls like the Kenwood. It would have been in with a chance of winning if it hadn’t been so pricey. This gadget allows you to listen to CDs and also receive DAB+ radio stations to give you a better choice of music and radio stations. The Elan range represents Pure's entry-level radios and is the world's best-selling digital radio range. Models include: the Elan One, Elan DAB+ and Elan Connect and Elan Connect+. Designed for portability, they can be powered with AA batteries or an optional rechargeable ChargePAK.

A DAB+ radio alarm looks like a normal radio alarm but it offers the option to receive DAB+ radio stations instead of FM stations, bringing you a wider choice of programmes in addition to better sound quality.
