PURE is on the launch trail these days, following up the recent introduction of its first DAB radio/iPod dock, the Chronos iDock, with the environmentally friendly Chronos II DAB radio.

The new radio – which adds FM and RDS functions - has a power consumption of less than 1W in standby and 2W in operation – which is preety damn low. PURE claims this is well-below the industry average. The Chronos II also gets a Gold Star for Green-type-stuff as the packaging and documentation are made from almost all recycled material.

Conveniently, the radio can be set to send you to sleep listening to one relaxing DAB station and wake you up in the morning with something a little livelier, while the alarm sounds are designed to wake you gently, not cause a stroke. The brightness of the clock display automatically adjusts to the room’s lighting and display text can be paused and scrolled.

Due out at the end of October, in white or aluminium, for £70.-Martin Lynch
