Product Information

It might look dated but you won’t find a more entertaining, more revealing player without spending a lot more cash. It's a nicely made bit of kit too, with a machined metal chassis that feels solid and a design than matches the rest of Cambridge's impressive CX range.

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. Diversity can be so easy: Do you want to tune in and listen to classic USW or DAB/DAB+ radio? Or do you prefer to dial up your Spotify Connect via Bluetooth - be it from your smartphone, tablet or notebook? Or, easier yet, how about connecting, for instance, your turntable to your Pure radio via AUX for even greater choice?

Digital radio - how does it work?

This gadget allows you to listen to CDs and also receive DAB+ radio stations to give you a better choice of music and radio stations. As is common from Pure radio, you can also expect a decent quality of audio from the Chronos Series 2 too, although that might not extend to class-leading. Whether you’re playing CDs or listening to the radio, you’ll get relatively high-quality sound, with bass and treble controls to suit your specific needs. The two speakers also offer quite a bit of power – so you don’t have to worry about limited volume. As a bedside radio, the Pure Chronos Series 2 comes with four radio alarms, which you can set to weekends only, weekdays only, or as one-off alerts. Just keep in mind that you might have to navigate your way through some pretty complex instructions to figure out how to do everything with this device. Still, once you’ve gotten used to the Pure Chronos CD, you’ll be able to use it to access high-detail sound, plenty of stations, and even on-demand profile information. Pure Chronos CD Series II review: Performance Almost all DAB radios sold today also offer FM radio, so in general, it makes sense to buy a radio with both FM and DAB rather than just FM.
