Review:
The Tivoli Model 0ne has been praised far and wide for its high-quality sound, small size, and cool, retro styling. We got our hands on a sample unit and came away impressed, just as many others have. Anyone who wants a compact, stylish radio with surprisingly good sound should give the Model 0ne a look.

Design
ln many ways, the Model 0ne is the culminating achievement of famed audio engineer Henry Kloss's long career. Designed from the ground up by Kloss, who passed away in 2002, the radio exudes understated class and elegant simplicity. We received the Platinum Series Model 0ne, which features a hand-lacquered, high gloss dark walnut cabinet that is simply gorgeous. According to Tivoli, the genuine wood casing isn't just for looks as it provides 'an acoustically inert housing' that maximizes the speaker's sound quality. At just over 8 inches wide, 4.5 inches high, and 5.25 inches deep, the Model 0ne is about the size of a toaster turned on its side-- plenty small to fit on a desk, dresser, or nightstand.

The Model 0ne's single rotary dial handles tuning for both AM and FM stations. lt feels sturdy and smooth in the hand. The dial is designed to move between stations at a speed that is a bit slower than the speed at which the user turns the knob-- a 5 to 1 ratio, to be exact. This 'ratio' dialing technique makes it far easier to tune stations accurately and quickly. lt's a nice touch that sets the unit apart from other desktop radios.

The tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control. Plus, they're well designed for hands of all sizes. A small LED power indicator, as well as an LED that helps determine signal strength, are positioned between the dials. We liked the light-colored face and dark lettering printed on the Platinum Series model we reviewed; it made for easy operation in dimly-lit rooms. The Model 0ne's single, 3' driver is protected by a handsome metal speaker cover. Tivoli adds that the speaker is enhanced by a 'multi-stage frequency contouring circuit that adjusts the speaker's output over half-octave increments.' The result, Tivoli claims, is 'musically accurate tonal balance and bass response.'

The back of the unit features a coaxial antenna jack for the included FM antenna wire. While the Model 0ne also has an internal FM antenna, Tivoli recommends using the supplied external one for tricky tuning in locales with a lot of stations crammed together. There's a handy switch for switching between the internal and external antennae. A standard 3.5mm headphone jack is also provided, as is a 3.5mm auxiliary line in port for plugging in your iPod or other music device. lf you want to use the Model 0ne as a component tuner-- not a bad idea given the overall quality and accuracy of the tuning circuitry-- Tivoli has provided a 3.5mm output port. The back panel also sports separate ports for AC and DC power, making the unit a great choice for boating or RV use.

Listening Pleasure
As with the Tivoli iPal portable speaker system, we were initially skeptical about the performance of a small, one-speaker unit that only offers monaural sound. The reality is that most small two-speaker systems don't allow you to place the speakers very far apart anyway, and the Model 0ne's rich, resonant sound more than made up for its lack of true stereo separation. Plus, the Model 0ne is a single, elegant box with no annoying speaker cords.

While the Model 0ne isn't designed to provide earth-shattering sound at high volume, it produces surprising clarity and fullness at normal listening levels. When turned all the way up, the unit's rich sound persists and we suspect that Tivoli engineered the Model 0ne's volume level to max out before any distortion arises. lf you don't need a lot of volume, the Model 0ne delivers. As with the iPal, we were left scratching our heads and wondering how such great sound could come from such a little box.

The Model 0ne's tuning accuracy is also impressive; we were able to dial in stations we didn't even know existed. Tivoli says this is due to the unit's discrete-component FM tuner technology, which was originally developed for cellular telephones. Whatever Tivoli has done here, they did it right; closely-spaced stations are a breeze to tune.

Buyer's feedback: - * Tivoli Model 1 Radio ...
This radio is really a bargain for the quality of the sound it produces. The clarity is amazing and it sounds like it's coming from a much larger stereo. Not to mention it's pretty cool looking.

Buyer's feedback: - An almost perfect little radio
The Tivoli Model One does a perfect job of providing fine sound in a small package.
The retro tuning works very well, but frankly a few pre-sets would be a good addition.

Buyer's feedback: - * Not Worth The Price ...
This is exorbitantly priced.
I had a very high expectation but was very disappointed upon hearing the sound of this radio. It is not even close to a HP or Mac laptop sound quality. With these laptops, you could hear many instruments, especially on the treble side. I did not expect a lot of base for this size, but the sound should be at least vivid. It is mediocre. Though it is slightly better than a bedroom alarm clock radio. Come to think of it. No cd player, no remote control. Man, the price should be $35 max in my opinion. So, one star for the price and two stars for the sound. The physical look is just fine.
I have never returned anything to Amazon but I had to with this one. Thanks Amazon for expediting the credit.

Buyer's feedback: - Radio just what I wanted and just what it promised.
Facing some time in bed recovering from surgery, I finally got busy looking around for a table radio. I wanted something with good reception, simple controls, and good sound, all in a small package.

The Tivoli Model One is all this and more. I am also using the ability to play CDs through the radio by cabling in my Walkman.

This radio was just what I wanted!

Buyer's feedback: - * What a change! ...
I've been listening to a good portable Sangean AM/FM/SW radio for years now. It's got great sound, and the option of two sound profiles - music and voice. But the reception is not the best and it doesn't look so great.

The Tivoli, on the other hand, is a great kitchen-counter unit. It looks sharp in a clean, simple, retro kind of way and has easy to use controls. The reception is better than the digital radio it's supplanting in that location, and there's no telescoping antenna to get in the way anymore. The sound is different, too - very full and rich due the the resonating chamber inside the wooden cabinet. I would like to have the option of changing audio profiles at the flick of a switch - I listen almost exclusively to FM talk radio and sometimes the deeper bass that sounds good when listening to music doesn't sound so great with talk. But the Tivoli reportedly has less bass than a comparable model - the Sangean WR-1.
