Pure P147504 Siesta Rise DAB+/DAB/FM Digital Radio Alarm Clock, with USB Phone Charging, CrystalVue Auto-Dim Display, 3 Radio or Tone Alarms and 20 Station Pre-Sets, Black and White

Product Information

The Pure Siesta Home is likely far larger than you’d expect from the images of it you’ll see. It’s 20cm deep and 17cm wide. The large, ultra-clear, auto-dimming display with wide viewing angle is our sharpest in the Siesta range to date. The display brightness can be set to automatically adjust and makes light reading of the time or radio information from anywhere in the room. With the reduced screen glare and afterglow, the enhanced CrystalVue+ display will always be visible even in the darkest of environments, giving a more peaceful nights’ rest. Internet radios are a type of radio that transmits radio signals via the internet instead of air, as is the case with FM and DAB+. This allows users to receive radio stations and programmes from all over the world via their computers, smartphones and internet-enabled radios. Digital radios, also known as DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting Plus), work by transmitting digital radio signals instead of analog signals, as is the case with traditional FM radios. In other words, radio stations transmit their programmes digitally.

Simply press “Siesta” once or repeatedly to enable a power nap from as little as 5 minutes, with varying increments up to 90 minutes. The alarm tone will then sound, so you can wake up refreshed when the set time is up! Connect your phone and the first thing you’ll notice is a fairly major disparity between radio volume and the sound emitted over Bluetooth. I had to pump it up to even hear it. Want to know the magic behind Pure’s radios? Here’s everything you need to know why it’s one of the top UK brands, The Pure Radio Story. It justifies its CD player. And if you live in, say, a studio flat, you could use the Pure Siesta Home as your only music system and be fairly happy.

DAB/DAB+ radio advantages in a nutshell:

It took me a while to get my head around the design. It isn’t as conventionally attractive as the Roberts Revival or Pure Evoke, and on a bedside table, it takes up a good deal of space. I’d advise that you get out the tape measure before buying a Pure Siesta Home to replace a small bedroom radio.

And if that was not enough, the signal can transmit additional information such as artist, song title, album cover and even videos. 80% less energy consumption for improved signal reception is another advantage. It’s possible to set four separate alarms on different schedules, so you won’t get rudely awaken by your weekday alarm on Saturdays. Each one has a dedicated button, making it easy to switch them on and off. Once that’s done, it will play any sound your phone makes through the S6’s 2.5in speaker, including ringtones and notifications.

DAB+ radio with CD player by Pure

Additionally, the Siesta S6 comes with the powerful custom-made speaker in the rear for when you want your music to fill your bedroom. You can also choose to listen via headphones if you prefer. Turn the lights on and it’s bright, with you still able to see the time. Switch the lights off and it dims to an extremely low level, so as not to distract you while you’re trying to sleep. Convenient, intuitive, and easy to use, the Pure Siesta S6 also comes with a selection of 40 preset station options to choose from. That means that you’ll be able to save a lot more channels onto your Pure S6 than many of the other products in the Siesta range. The latest addition to our award-winning Siesta family, Siesta Rise is here to make your mornings just that little bit more enjoyable, combining essential bedside features with impressive sound and stylish design.

Whether you’re looking for the perfect rechargeable DAB radio or the ultimate home sound system, you can expect Pure to deliver on both image and performance. When we were exploring the features of the Pure Siesta Rise S, it was clear to see that this product was designed as a radio first, and an alarm second. Keep your phone, tablet or other devices fully charged when plugged into the built-in USB PowerPort, so they’re always powered up and ready to go. Unlimited number of stations: Reception of up to 30,000 stations and streaming providers from all over the world via DAB+ technology. Finally, the Pure Siesta Home is a CD player. Just insert a CD in the front slot and you can treat the Siesta like an old-school hi-fi.Use the <> buttons to display 'ACTIVE' and press Select to change settings that apply when the Siesta is turned on. Or use the <> buttons to display 'STANDBY' and then press Select to change settings that apply when the radio is in standby mode. Use Siesta S6 as a fantastic sounding wireless speaker and stream audio from the comfort of your bed. This can be done through your smartphone, laptop or tablet. What’s more, the 2.5-inch speaker with a digital amplifier built-in means that you get excellent sound quality, even with a product as small as the S6. Though some people refer to the Siesta S6 as the Pure Siesta Rise S6, there’s actually no “Rise” included in the title. That might be a little confusing, particularly when you see how similar in style the S6 is to the flagship Siesta product. The alarm also gradually increases in loudness as it rings instead of suddenly going off and jolting you out of sleep.
