Pure Evoke C-D6 All-in-One Music System with DAB/DAB+/FM Digital Radio – DAB Radio with Bluetooth Music Streaming, Dual Alarms and CD Player – Siena Black

Product Information

The Evoke F3 looks much more modern than the D1, D2 and D4 models, which could be a good or bad thing depending on your taste. Features Some of these radios cost more than the regular Evoke D4 with Bluetooth radio, but they are a good option if matching the radio to your decor is important to you. You can also get an Evoke D2 bluetooth DAB radio with a papercut casing designed by Rob Ryan , or one with a Sanderson wallpaper design, if you want something really quirky. As with most Pure radios, the Evoke C-D6 is made to be highly user-friendly. Setting the radio up for the first time should be easy. However, like any piece of technology, it can be challenging to set the radio up, especially if it’s your first time interacting with Pure Radios.

However, with so many options onboard, you’re really going to still need to see the screen on the radio to do much more than turn it on and control volume levels, making the included remote a little moot. That said, we realized this radio has an easier and shorter setup process. It involves the following:

Despite a relatively compact design, you’ll get a room-filling stereo that’s ideal for drenching your home in sound. Detail levels are fine for the money and the general balance isn’t bass or treble heavy. Push the Pure hard and its balanced approach stops everything from descending into a crashy, brash affair. Changing digital stations: You can change the radio’s digital stations using the remote or the front panel controls. For the remote, press the 🢨 or 🢩 button to browse through a list of the available stations and then press “Select” to choose a station. If you want to use the front panel control knob, turn the select dial right or left to scan through a list of the available stations. Push the button to change a station. This radio has a different shape to the D2; you could say it is landscape rather than portrait shaped. Like the Evoke D2, it comes in either a walnut or oak veneer casing, which helps give it a balanced and natural sound. Features Dialogue heard through the studio of Radio 5 Live sounds relatively warm and detailed. It’s easy to latch onto what people are saying.

Pure Evoke C-D6 review - Which?

There’s a much bigger sense of scale than you get with one of its smaller siblings such as the Evoke D4. To go with the quantity of sound, there’s a decent level of quality too. On the front of the device, you’ll see the iconic Pure logo, two sizable stereo speakers, tuning and volume knobs, along with a range of buttons for controlling your CD player and radio. It’s hard to find fault with the Pure Evoke C-F6. It’s a fully-equipped all-in-one music machine with practically every bell and whistle you could need from a single-room audio device.If being able to listen to CDs is important to you, the Evoke C-D4 is a great digital radio/CD player combo. If you’re just interested in listening to the radio, or are content with connecting the radio to your phone or laptop, the Evoke D4 will do the job at a more affordable price. As part of the Evoke all-in-one music system collection, you can expect an easy-to-use interface with the CD-6, including intuitive and simple controls. The Evoke C-D6 is also impressive when it comes to sound quality.

PURE Evoke C-D6 DAB+/FM Bluetooth Clock Radio - Walnut

The Pure Evoke C-F6 is a delight then, and comes highly recommended for anyone looking for a complete one-stop audio box. Like the D2, the Evoke D4 is also available with Bluetooth. This lets you stream internet radio or MP3s from your phone, MP3 player or laptop (provided they have Bluetooth). The Evoke D4 with Bluetooth comes in a maple veneer casing. It has the same features and design as the regular D4 except for offering Bluetooth connectivity. From the moment you first lift the product out of the box, you’re swept away by the elegance of the design. Other features include twin alarms, which can be set to a station of your choice, and the touch-sensitive Snoozehandle which sits on top of the radio. There’s no Internet radio – for that you’ll need to investigate the Evoke F4 or rival radios such as the Roberts Stream 93i.The Pure Evoke C-F6 has a lot going on (those CDs have to fit in somewhere), so you shouldn’t be surprised to hear it’s got some size to it, measuring in at 380 mm wide x 145 mm high x 223 mm deep and weighing just over 4kg. You can enjoy your entire music collection with the Evoke C-D6 without having to worry about being restricted to just radio or just streaming. Additionally, the CD player that comes built-in with the CD-6 also includes extra features like shuffle and repeat. Unlike on some other radios, the Evoke C-D6 changes DAB station almost instantaneously, so you don’t need to wait a few seconds for it to retune. The range has expanded over the years to include models of varying sizes colours and features culminating for now, with the Evoke D6 with Bluetooth. While the digital display on this product isn’t in colour, it’s clear enough to read even from a few feet away, which is a nice bonus. A closer look at the display might make you think you’re using an internet radio!
