Advantages: Clean, stylish design, excellent build, easy to use, superb sound Disadvantages: A bit pricier than rivals, not very portable, only 6 preset stations
...So why the Pure Evoke? After a couple of hours' web searching and researching, a quick trip to Comet to see it in the flesh, put my mind at rest that the Pure Evoke 2 is the best-looking DAB radio on the planet. Purely my taste though. You see, looks matter to me. When I'm splashing out on a new piece of technology I want it to be well designed. That tells me it's also probably well made. Mr Practical - me. LOOKS There's the Roberts radios - too ... ...is very similar to the Pure Evoke-1, apart from having twin stereo speakers. This I thought was worth having as quality of sound was one of my main reasons for buying a DAB radio. You can buy a separate speaker to hook up to the Evoke-1 but I think that would look a bit clumsy.
THE SOUND
You get a surprisingly rich sound than you would expect from a radio of this size. Not tinny at all but clear and powerful. Increasing the volume the sound is ...

Quick review of Pure Digital Evoke 2
This is the first time I have written a review, so please bear with me.
I have recently heard this radio at my inlaws and was very impressed by both the simplicity of the design and the excellent sound quality,
The compact design means that it can sit nicely in any room
The clearness of the sound was the what struck me not a static hiss anywhere to be found. I will have to try and talk the wife into getting one. ...

Advantages: Looks, build, quality Disadvantages: Having LW in another room displays the digital time lag but also the gulf in sound quality
My wife had got bored of me carrying around a battered old transister radio so got me an Evoke 2 for my birthday. The tranny was too old to review here or anywhere that isn't a seventies retro site!
It's a cracking machine and I am now converted to the Digital broadcast age. She chose well after some research buying from Amazon, who she was more than happy with. The exact cost remains a secret, I know better than to ask!
Once I'd had a fiddle about ... ...techno-phobe like myself - I have been happy ever since. I only listen to a handful of stations and even with the wider range that digital provides I am more than catered for by the 6 pre-sets. Other more picky/exciting folk may feel that number is somewhat lacking.

WHERE BOUGHT: in Dixons April 2004.
The Evoke2 has 6 preset buttons which are easy to set. The reception is a vast improvement on normal radio which gets a particularly poor reception in my office wheras the DAB very rarely disappears although I ... ...elsewhere.
Adjustable tone.
The display can be changed to show any of the following: scrolling text showing what you are listening to, this depends on the station as not all of them provide details, the type of station, the multiplex name, channel, time & date etc. The order of stations in the full scroll list can be changed to show the most frequently used stations first, very useful if you listen to more than 6 stations regularly.
The large ...
