Revo iBlik RadioStation: one seriously multitalented DAB

August 7, 2008 by Insider Staff 

Revo iBlik RadioStationCrisp digital reception, a huge selection of stations and a digital readout that tells you exactly what you’re listening to makes DAB radio well worth the step up from old school FM – even if sound quality hasn’t yet reached the CD-like heights that were once promised.

But DAB is only one string to the iBlik RadioStation’s bow – this brick-shaped box also sports an iPod dock, FM tuner and Wi-Fi, which means it can get its hands on thousands of web radio stations, not to mention the audio contents of your PC or Mac’s hard drive. And all this in a product small enough to stick on a bookshelf or your desktop.

Top talents
Three times a radio

The iBlik combines DAB, FM and web radio skills in one tiny box.

Look, no cables!
Built-in wireless networking means it can access Internet radio and digital music files from anywhere in your house.

What’s up, dock?
Listen to your iPod’s contents while topping up its battery with the integrated docking station.

Coming out: August 18th

Going up against
Roberts Stream 202 – The design is a touch more retro, but FM, DAB and Internet radio all feature here.

Boston Acoustics Horizon Duo-i – No DAB or web radio here, but FM and iPod sound quality excels on this cuddly clock radio.

Revo BLIK RadioStation – Don’t adjust your screen: this is an older Blik, offering much the same talents (minus the iPod dock) at a cheaper price.
