WR-11 Walnut

Genial radio, excelente calidad de audio. El bluetooth es facil de conectar.

Fue un regalo para mi mamá. La estética retro fue convincente para darle una oportunidad ya que a mi mamá no le gusta lidiar con los aparatos más modernos que no son amigables para ella. Es un poco elevado de precio pero tampoco se me hizo demasiado caro tomando en cuenta la calidad de construcción y la buena recepción que tiene.

I purchased this radio for my 89 year old mom who has physical limitations, including challenged vision, and who can't tolerate new technology. She had inspected many radios, sold locally, and refused to give any of them a try. They were "plastic, cheap, contraptions." So you can understand my apprehension, purchasing this one for her, sight unseen. When I delivered the radio, she watched apprehensively, as I pulled it from the box. Then with closer inspection, it was love-at-first-site. She literally caressed the walnut cabinet commenting, "This looks like an old-timey, radio---just what I wanted." Simply put, this solidly built little radio has timeless elegance, coupled with ultimate simplicity and I found it outperformed any table-top radio I have ever had. The sound is clear and rich and once tuned to a channel, there is no annoying channel drift, or static. I was amazed at how the sound filled the room, from such a small package. There is a tuning light that indicates when you have the best reception in your area, for a particular channel. FM sounds awesome, and I found no problems with weak AM reception, or not picking up channels. My mom has always had a radio at her bedside, to lull her to sleep. With only three knobs controlling operation she commented, "I can actually reach over and operate it in the dark." If you knew my mom, you'd know why I'm celebrating my victory. She's been around the block a few times and is tough to please! She demands quality! I'm so fond of this radio that I'm considering ordering one for myself. It is attractive enough to make a nice addition to any room and I'm sure that many visitors would want to know 'where'd you get that,' since it's increasingly hard to find quality workmanship these days.

I am living in Trivandrum ,Kerala State, South India.I have been longing for a sensitive radio which can pick up distant stations in both AM and FM bands.After reading so many reviews stating that the SANGEAN WR 11 is a good radio,I ordered for this product. But the performance of the radio is disappointing.I am not using a Switch Mode Power Supply as it may cause disturbance in hearing AM band .I am using a converter of 25 watts to convert 230 Volts AC into 120 Volts AC to plug in the radio. This radio can accept only 120 Volts AC or 12 Volts DC, 1 Amp. . As far as the FM band is concerned, the sound quality is perfect.The prime quality of a radio should be its sensitivity which this radio lacks. It cannot pick up distant FM stations.My old Indian made PHILIPS radio could trace four FM stations from Tamil Nadu,my nearby state, other than five local FM stations of my state. Only local powerful FM stations can be heard through this radio.Regarding the AM band it is totally useless. Only some noise is coming out. Even at night I could not hear even a single AM station through this radio.I thought it may be due to the signals from some nearby electronic devices.But when I tried with my Indian made PHILIPS radio,it could pick up more than twenty five AM stations at night.,So if you want to hear only the local powerful FM stations in good sound quality you may purchase this radio.Don't expect anything more. The price is high when the overall performance is concerned. The vintage look and design of this radio with wooden cabinet is appreciable. Edit:- Now it is more than three months since I purchased this product. I thought that it might be due to the lack of a good out door antenna that this radio is not picking up distant stations. I purchased an omnidirectional FM antenna through Amazon and mounted it at the top of my house and connected it to this radio's external FM ant terminal using a coaxial cable.To my surprise,I could hear several distant FM stations clearly .I get FM stations even from Kochi now. I am sure this radio can pick up more distant stations if I raise the height of the external antenna.But due to the threat of lightning I can't do it now. I connected an external AM antenna too and now I am getting several AM stations .So now I am changing my rating of this radio to 4 star from 2 star. I love this radio .

J'ai longtemps hésité mais je suis très satisfait de cet achat. La qualité de construction est très bonne, l'appareil est basique (ce que je voulais), il est connecté sur la prise antenne FM du câble (la réception par voie hertzienne est mauvaise dans mon village). La radio fonctionne du matin au soir sur la même station. Le son est déroutant au début, Le petit HP et l'évent des basses à l'arrière donnent une grosse sonorité, les basses sont très présentes (trop pour certains) mais cela peut être corrigé en ne plaçant pas l'appareil trop près du mur et en évitant les coins. Une autre solution est de placer un morceau de mousse dans l'évent ce qui filtre les basses dans les éradiquer. Bref que du bon.
