Revo iBlik Radiostation
Revo has scored the hat trick with the iBlik RadioStation heralding in a new generation of digital radios; not only does it have the conventional FM and DAB tuners, it also has internet connection with wireless music streaming.
Called the ultimate “one box” radio device, its stylish interface accesses around 11,000 radio stations from around the globe, or you can listen to tracks stored on your PC or Mac connected to the local Wi-Fi or LAN network. There’s no complicated set up or software to load either; the radio is very light and easy to operate, measuring 19.7 x 8 x 47.2 inches.
Although the sound comes through a single speaker the quality has a clarity and resonance. With its black plastic body and Morse code patterning and minimalist hi-tech appearance, the Revo iBlik RadioStation has set the benchmark for internet radio for the foreseeable future.
