Delivered next day ! Great radio. Very clear instruction booklet. Within minutes I had stored all my favourite radio stations in the presets.
I am no techi, but I also managed to connect to my computer, via the Blue tooth connection. So I am able to listen to mp3 tracks on it.
Great sound with the built in equalizer.
DAB signal very clear in any room.
Overall great value for money. I can’t fault it in any way !

Overall its a good unit for the money. Sound quality is ok clear but lacking in stamina when bass is applied, can slightly overwhelm the speakers handling. Why oh why do the companies not put the value in quality soeakers is beyond me but as I said its ok.
DAB works very well.
Good tip for ALL bluetooth radios. Always scan twice. Yes twice. In almost every case your available channels increase on second scan. No idea why, it just works.
So yes its a good buy but dont expect a power house of sound. Its more your smaller room device.
I wanted a DAB radio that looked good, sounded good and could be taken anywhere. This radio ticked all the boxes. And it is re-chargeable! Batteries arer expensive! I did a lot of research, both in shops and on line. This really does tick all the boxes. I love it! AND it was delivered within 24 hours of purchase! Can’t do better than that.
Better than expected for the price, controls a bit fiddley but I am an oldster with arthritic fingers and I can still work it.
Only 1 grump the SELECT button does not exist ( nowhere does it tell you that you have to press the volume button)
please correct the handbook!!
I bought this radio after reading reviews and checking the features. I’ve had it around 10 days now and I’m impressed with the quality. I compared the radio with a similar model costing 3 times the price. I’m glad I didn’t pay the extra cash. The radio looks very smart and sounds nice. The battery is very good. I use the radio in my bathroom mainly. It gets used around 30 minutes a day. I use it at half volume and it went 8 days before I charged it again today, and it was still showing one bar of the three for the battery. I’d buy it again tomorrow if I needed it.

I previously had an early wood framed Pure Tempus DAB Radio which has lasted well over 20 years, but recently gave up the ghost and was diagnosed as not repairable.
I was looking for something affordable, less than 100, that has a reasonable amount of oomph, not a tinny sound. I also wanted it portable, and this radio includes an in built battery pack. I want to be able to move it round the house, and sometimes take it out in the garden to listen to where I am working or relaxing.
Alterative Pure radios are good but expensive, and a battery pack is also an extra almost 40, so excellent quality, probably superior build quality, but double the cost.
I had not heard of Azatom as a brand before, British designed, but manufactured in China. I went for the larger twin speaker stereo model. The sound is good, no rattling case at full volume. The instruction manual is not the best, you have to work your way through reading around the information then trying things out. The case is wood around the sides, the front white finish looks a bit cheaper and may mark, the carrying strap is flexible faux leather. The display screen at low setting is a bit bright for the bedroom, and maybe a bit too dim on a bright sunny day. Tuning in initially was quick and straightforward. and it was already partly charged, but completed to full charge quickly. For less than 70 including the rechargeable in built battery with good volume, and a decent sound quality, it seemed the best available set on offer, and so far so good after a few days use.
The only concern is from some other reviewers where the radio has stopped working or developed problems just a few months after purchase, so fingers crossed that longer reliability and durability will be OK. Only time will tell, not quite as classy as the Pure alternatives, but equally a great deal cheaper, I hope it will be money well spent. If I run into any issues I will return to update this review. At present I am delighted with this purchase.

I’ve owned and been very happy with Pure DAB radios before but was looking a nice-looking wooden-body model for our kitchen, that offered Bluetooth, line in, DAB2, and simple controls. This one was my choice, with part of the appeal being the <60 price tag. I've been very impressed, had it more than 6 months now. The body is probably a veneer but the finish is good and easy to clean given we're using it in the kitchen. Controls are simple to follow and it's picked up a huge range of station. The sound is very good, not quite as rich as a Pure Evoke-2 I've had for many years, but the sound controls can be set up to max the bass while getting a good overall balance, giving a good warm tone for voice and music. For the money I paid for this, I'd be surprised if there's a better DAB radio out there.
Received today.It needs testing over a few months but on first reaction sound quality is nice and feels sturdy, good button feel, scanned stations and fixed in a room my previous dab failed to pick up signals in when powered by mains.Quite heavy so sits securely. Black wood case looks refined. i think it might be the best value for money item pound for pound on market so i’ll see in a few months
I had big hopes for this Radio It looks great very well built with a good amount of weight to it, all giving the impression of a good quality unit that promises good sound. In reality, mine sounded flat and tinny with no bass with thin sound and not a lot of mid-range either. Turns out mine is faulty and I have to set the Bass and Treble every time I turn it on as it seems to reset to a flat sound signature when in standby. Will be calling their customer support to hopefully get this fixed or replaced.
Overall a good radio that has good sound if working properly and well built also looks great and is easy to use and move around the house. The battery seems to last a good 6-7 hours on a moderate volume level and the Bluetooth is a great asset and the only thing that would be a nice addition would be a remote control.
It is a fairly substantial item but I suppose you need that to produce a good sound. The controls are fine but I always have a problem with preset stations. In the past you may have had five buttons for five preset stations which was easy. Now you have a lot more but it is much more complicated. In the dark or half-asleep it can be a challenge. Apart from that I am very happy.
I like the ability to alter the treble and bass output. The sensitivity on F.M. is not so good as D.A.B but as most stations are on D.A.B. this possible does not matter.
The battery has not run out when it has been used in the garden for most of the day in the summer but I would have liked the carrying handle to have been longer so that it could be folded down to the back of the radio to look neater.
Brilliant. Sound is really good even at high volume. With bass and treble control easy to preset stations ( of which there are 30 DAB and 30 FM ). Dont know how long battery lasts upto now over 4 hours and still going. Charging the phone aswell is a bonus. Cant find any problems at all. The backlight can be dimmed so its great for the bedroom, but using it mainly for outside. Would recommend this radio to anyone. 3 year warrenty was easy to register at Azatom website.

perfect companion whilst in my workshop (large garage size) not as loud as I had hoped for bbq parties though. a little disappointed after all the British and proud ramble in the description to find it is actually made in China although I suppose this is reflected in the price I would still have preferred British made. it has bluetooth, dab and lne in for my turntable and this is a hard combination to find. I would highly recommend. nice item.
Looks good loud enough for bedroom , don’t think it would be loud enough in a large place, have tried numerous time to register it on there website with no joy as the link theY are meant to send doesn’t . Found it easy to save stations, could do with a remote control is the only complaint I have.
At this price point you get a very nicely designed radio that has desirable features such as Bluetooth connectivity, but I was a little disappointed by the clunky, slightly cheap feel to the controls and the sound quality. I was replacing an old Pure radio (just the display had failed) in my kitchen and perhaps because the Pure Radio was still working (if you didn’t want to change a setting that required you to see the display) I didn’t want to spend too much. So, I got this one because it looked like a fairly good quality and had Bluetooth. The push buttons and the main dial press (used for most selections) are a bit cheap and click, clacky. The sound quality just does not match up close to the Pure radio – which was much more expensive of course. I didn’t want to buy a Pure again because of the display failure after 5 yrs, so I guess I got what I paid for, but I had expected a little better quality feel and sound for the price.
I’d been looking to replace my DAB radio for a DAB+ because some stations I listen to had moved over to DAB+. Having listened to others in showrooms, I was either disappointed with the sound quality or put off by the high price. I only wanted a radio for use in the garage and around the garden so couldn’t warrant spending 100 plus.
Having read some of the reviews on Amazon I decided to take a punt and buy the Azatom. I wasn’t disappointed. Sound quality is good and sound level more than adequate for use inside and out (I’ve never gone much above 50% volume). I have used it out in the garden all day and the battery, from full, lasted with power to spare. Bluetooth was easy to set up and works perfectly. Can charge phone whilst streaming to radio which does normally drain phone battery. There is also a aux port and the radio comes with a jack to jack lead if you’d rather not use Bluetooth The only downside, which has been mentioned in another review is the display. Despite it having brightness settings, even on the highest setting the display can be hard to see. But don’t be put off by this one minus point, it’s a brilliant radio for the money and also comes with a 3 year warranty which you have to register online with Azatom. I thoroughly recommend it.
I asked for this as a birthday present because it has been very difficult to find these features in a portable unit with a simple rechargeable configuration (ie plug it in). It’s only for listening to Radio6m in the garden, or playing Spotify from my phone. Either way it has to have radio as well as Bluetooth because of the problems with mobile reception and distant wifi in my garden. And this does it at a very good price!
This was a replacement for my Sonus Pure 1 that died. When I trawled through all the models though, I found
that there was no equivalent. The Sonus had 5 preset buttons ( just press to select a station ); had a touch-talk feature ( touch the handle and it speaks the time ); and the display turned off ! No other model has these features, even Sonus doesn’t make one now.
Anyway, I got this one and I quite like it. It has ‘soft presets’, i.e. you have to scroll through the menu to select.
The display can be set to very dim, which is ok, but I often turn it off if I wake in the night.
Its plus is that it has stereo speakers and the sound quality is good.
Another feature is the digital volume control which at first didn’t seem to go low enough. This is a consenquence
of ‘ perceived sound ‘ as what sounds quiet during the day, seems louder in the middle of the night.
It can be moderated by angling the radio slightly away. I’m getting used to it, but frankly it’s easier just to have
an analogue volume control as on the Sonus.
One other slight negative is that the sleep function doesn’t fade out ( as on the Sonus ), but just cuts out.
So, in conclusion, I’m quite happy with it but it’s a shame that manufacturers all seem to follow a fashion
in design which ignores already established good design for user convenience.
Sound quality was really good. Unit looks good. Not sure of battery life, but make sure you turn it fully off rather than on standby. Unit Is quite complicated to use, but then again I am age challenged!
Great sound, Not checked out the battery as yet. But its quite fiddley to set, and the light is way too bright even dimmed.. Its for my bedroom so ive had to cover up the light with black felt, doubled over, Wanted a large clock display but not accessable when it is on., my eyesight is poor. esp at night.
Looks good, if a little big for a bedside radio
I like i
I choose this make as the description mentioned the sound quality , i have a main brand DAB radio as well which is similar in size and when this Azatom and that one are played together this Azatom has better dynamic range and less dull sounding and picks up the highs and bass tones really well , which is an advantage in places like the kitchen where there are external sounds going on that you can still listen to quality sounds.
The handle is a good size and feels perfectly secure to carry the radio by.
it easily founds stations during set up very quickly , and picked up and connected to bluetooth very quickly and remains stable for DAB and bluetooth signals at all times.
A great radio unit , with a great sound that does beat the more expensive main brand radio every day.
On the plus side:
This radio works well.
The sound is pretty good for music and for speech.
There is plenty of volume.
I’ve had no problem with reception.
It was easy to set up and is easy to use.
So it does all the things you would want a rechargeable portable radio to do, and it does them well.
The downsides are:
it is quite large for a portable radio, much bigger than the one it was bought to replace. It is wide and deep, so it takes up a lot more space in a small kitchen.
It is really not that pleasing to look at. The front is all white plastic and looks a bit cheap, the sides are wood effect which again looks a bit cheap, the handle is a kind of faux leather, and even the LCD display manages to look badly designed, mostly to do with the specific blue colour chosen for the back light.
In summary: For the price it is a good sounding, practical radio. If Aesthetics are your thing then you might want to look elsewhere. I went for features and price, and listen to it with my eyes closed.
I wanted to buy a new DAB Radio for me to use at work and after searching Amazon, reading reviews and looking at product design and build, I decided to purchase this Azatom Multiplex D2 DAB Radio, in which I received on Monday March 9th.
The price of an item is not important to me, I solely look at the product features and what it can offer me in sound quality and cosmetic looks and this appliance ticked ALL my boxes.
So, what does this product do or me?
Cosmetic Appearance: Looks great with an excellent layout of buttons and a nice large three-line LCD screen.
Sound Performance: Crystal clear sound with a good volume and individual changes of both bass and treble (available though “settings”).
It even has a 5v USB socket so you can even charge your devices.
There are two ways of turning off this Digital Radio – into Standby Mode or completely off to conserve the battery if you are using it from the very long-lasting battery performance.
The telescopic antenna is fairly long but is the correct wavelength to gain the exceptional reception this Digital Radio offers from the huge amount of DAB stations it can receive.
So, would I recommend this Multiplex D2 DAB Radio? Very much so and as I am so happy with it, I bought another today (Saturday March 14th) so that I have one at home and at work.
It is a bit early to give a full review of this item, as I have only had it for a few days, and at present am only using it as a radio alarm. I still have to wrestle with setting presets, but hope that there will be no problems with them.
The sound is excellent, and it seems to be a well-made piece of kit.
My only criticism is that registering as a new customer is not easy, and in order to register the set for warranty, I had to ring Customer Service, who were helpful.
The only down side is you have to turn the volume very loud while using it as Bluetooth speaker so when next person turns it onto radio it is deafening. Haven’t used it on battery so can’t comment overall very pleased with it.
It has a really nice sound and looks good. The channels were picked up easily compared to the old one which packed up.
The only thing that surprised me was that although charged the battery went flat overnight. It seems that even on standby its drawing a fair bit of power, I keep it plugged in now unless I need to move it. It is really easy to use too.
Had to buy a new DAB radio that had DAB+ so I could listen to my normal radio station. After looking at a lot I picked this one as it had all the functions and more that I wanted. I was not disappointed, I can connect my phone via Bluetooth and charge my phone through the radio. I can listen to my favourite radio station again. My only down side is it was a bit bigger than I was expecting.
The sound quality is very good. The Bluetooth works well. I haven’t used it on battery so have not commented on that .
My wife uses it all the which means it must be ok!
FM, DAB, Bluetooth, line in/out, in-built rechargeable battery and a USB phone charger. It looks fantastic and so far has been child’s play to use – it is for my 8 year old in her bedroom. I wish I kept it for myself. The reception on DAB is very good and sounds fantastic, unlike many budget makes. It has a good quality feel to it, light to carry, and it very well laid out to use. I worked it out quickly myself and showed my 8 year old how to use it. The instruction manual is pretty kiddy friendly too, and grown-up friendly as well.
I needed a new radio for my office and decided to take the plunge and go digital. I looked at the reviews and even though I hadn’t heard of the company I decided to try this set. Nice well rounded sound, not at all tinny. The battery lasted a good 12 hours when I tested it. The thing is well built, reception is really good, even in a poor reception area, they supply a cable for plugging in stereos, phones, mp3 players etc. it also has bluetooth to link up to phones and music players. It is good to see that the tuner is DAB+ compatible so it should be future proof. The only disappointment is the display, nice and clear but not bright enough, a brightly lit office is enough to swamp the amount of light the display gives off, making it hard to see the display when the Sun is out.
This really does seem to be a quality product! The sound reproduction is superb, as is the tuning set up and reception strength in a location that our previous DAB radio found difficult. It looks great too. I can’t comment on battery yet, but other buyers have been impressed. The only slight ‘niggle ‘ are slightly unclear instructions regarding pre-sets.

This product is OK. The radio sound is very low, very very faint, nothing like my Pure DAB radio. I purchased it solely due to the Bluetooth/DAB combination. Its Bluetooth works well, even when the phone it connects to, is very far away on a different floor! The Bluetooth version is actually Multiplex D1 not D2 as the instructions say. I raised it with the seller, and they noted that the manufacturer did not update the bluetooth version because D1 was already quite stable. So I have no idea if this is an older version D1 that I have or this is as good as D2 gets..
The handle arrived crumpled so it looks a bit shabbier than what you see on the photo.. Not many DAB/Bluetooth options out there on the market at this price though (most are DAB/Aux, or FM/Bluetooth), so I would have ordered this again if I was given another choice.
Very pleased with this product;the design has been well thought out and it is well made.
The sound is also very good despite the compact dimensions-very good value for money.
Many thanks.

Bought this as a replacement radio for my kitchen, my old one being 35 years, its excellent sound quality and a good looking radio. Quick delivery and I am very happy with this purchase I would definitely recommend i
So far very pleased with this purchase. Had been trying to get new alarm radio that could tune to Dab Virgin. The radio has excellent an quality of sound.
The light dims enough for me at night time. The alarm is not the easiest to set but there are two so once done you probably won’t need to adjust too often. The snooze is activated by pressing the volume control when the alarm sounds, so it is easy to reach out and be sure you are pressing right thing. Only negative is that you press once for 5 mins, twice for 10 and so on, there is no 10 min preset. I ended up contacting Azatom to clarify this and they were quick to come back to me with the answer, so top marks at this stage for customer service.
All round this is a good radio with just a couple of niggles number one, the power output is quoted at 30 Watts Max but it’s not it’s actually a 10 watts total output,the radio could benefit from having a row of dedicated preset buttons but you can’t have everything I suppose at this price point.
The 10 watts output is more than adequate, the sound is warm and Rich.
Instruction manual easy to follow came very well wrapped and a speedy delivery.
Great radio, can’t ask for anything more. rechargeable and such a great signal. I had sent a different radio back because DAB signal was none existent for my favourite radio station, this radio picked up all the stations without the aerial up!
I ordered this radio on the basis of customer reviews and I haven’t been disappointed. The radio is for my husband who has poor hearing so we needed a very clear sounding device with good volume. I was pleased that it arrived so quickly and was well packaged. Apparently, it is manufactured by a UK firm so that explains the quality build and pleasant appearance of the radio. It was easy to tune in and the sound is of crystal clarity with huge volume if you need it. I note that I can also charge my iPhone with the usb connection which is an added bonus. I haven’t been able to test it out in the garden yet with the onset of autumn but that can wait till next summer. Meanwhile, we shall enjoy many hours of pleasant listening.
WHAT A BARGAIN!!
Loving this for 54 you can’t go wrong. I have decent headphones momentum on ear and the amazing foster 50s bell like sound, this dab radio gives of bell like sound clear defined crisp for 54 you’re laughing we will see about the one test left, time wear and tear,w with the extended warranty the manufacturer is confident?

I bought this radio last week. It has a good sound for its size. The battery also seams to be good. Today I have listened to it all day on the battery. I am self employed and am using this radio on site. It was easy to scan for channels, it would be better if it had some preset buttons for the favourites, but saving and selecting the presets is not difficult but does involve pressing a button and turning the dial. The display is easy to read and the time display is a handle feature. The brightness of this can be adjusted. Stuart L.
I really like the rich sound delivered by this radio – and the extended battery life for outdoor use. Compared to the German radio that this replaces the DAB reception is much better around my home as I get great reception in all rooms. Streaming music from my phone to the radio is simple and it’s a good looking piece of kit. The alarm function is also useful. Would buy agai

Bought this radio to replace a Pure radio that has been playing up almost since I bought it.
This radio fits the bill perfectly. We get a good reception even in a poor reception area, it has a built in battery for portability which is a plus, the stereo sound even at high volume is consistent with very little or no distortion.
It’s compact enough to place anywhere in the house, we have ours in the kitchen, and is very nice to look at.
I managed to Bluetooth my iPhone with my music to it with no hassle at all however it Wes discoverable as a D1 instead of the D2 model, I assume this is just a software anomaly from their previous models.
All in all for the price paid I’m very pleased with this product and would recommend it as a first buy or a replacement product.
The item was delivered earlier than expected,Firstly I would say that this is a good looking radio,it a good edition to any room,the sound quality of the multiplex D2 is on par with the Sony dab radio it replaced,it also picks up more channels than the Sony,and that’s with the ariel completely folded down opposed to the Sony’s being fully out, the bluetooth feature works flawlessly connecting easily first time everytime,the treble and bass can be adjusted very easily due to the ease of use throughout this unit,the display has 3 brightness settings,if you also throw in its integrated rechargeable battery,meaning this can be taken out into the garden in the summer months,you truly cannot beat this item you also get a 3yr guarantee. After receiving the item customer support contacted me to ask if I was satisfied with my purchase,that’s a nice touch from a company in this day and age all in all this seems to be a solid British company who want feed back to improve the products they create,There is one small thing I would like to see included with this unit,the handle is removable using a hex key,2 small colour coded grommets would have been nice to plug the holes,instead I just screwed back in the hex bolts,and to be honest it doesn’t retract from the look.Dont hesitate to purchase this if i had paid double its price I would have been just as happy,at this price it’s a steal.
Radio is great when you get a good signal. I bought this because it’s supposedly better than the others at getting good reception. It’s not, it’s the same as the others. I struggle to get good reception where I live and this is hit n miss depending on the weather. The battery on it lasts a good day and a half and it looks neat whichever room it gets put in. Overall I’m pleased but don’t buy if you live in a weak signal area.
This is a great all rounder for your music – the Bluetooth works great so your own music preferences can be played through the quality speakers. In addition it will wake you up to any music preference in the morning and have your phone charged ready for use. The speakers throw out a great sound not tinny at all and you can annoy the neighbours with the base that it gives out if you wish. The other really useful feature is the rechargeable battery that allows you to take your music out with you for the day and I have found it can last up to 24 hours depending on how you use it. All in all a great value music player that looks good any where you want to place it in the home.
I bought this radio for my workshop as I am a mechanic and wanted to listen to DAB radio while I work. (6 music!) The radio gets brilliant reception, sound quality is fantastic and has a basic equaliser to adjust the sound as well as being loud enough to fill the whole workshop. As well as the DAB radio it is also easy to pair via Bluetooth or use the aux function so that I can stream music from my phone. The battery lasts a good few hours too so I can move it around the workshop with me. Controls have a positive quality feel when operating it and the general feel of the radio is as good as more expensive brands. I would definitely by another azatom product based on the quality of this product as represents great value and quality for money.
Tha Azatom DAB radio has sapased my expectations. It is very easy to use and storing selected stations and recalling them is a breeze. I can only call it fantastic, if a little on the big size but it does have 2 speakers.
This DAB radio, looks great, sounds great, I bought it after buying a smaller model, only one gripe was a tad fiddly in comparison with other model to preset stations, got there in the end but was not a straight forward process, it did connect easily to my iPhone and played music, which was good quality with excellent volume, overall a great product for the money

Arrived fully charged (been using it for hours and it’s still showing 3 of 3 bars) and it’s s been outstanding in every area.
DAB is much better than I remember last time I tried it. While I’ve not got a good signal for fm here (hissy weak) DAB is still clear and uninterrupted (even before I remembered to extend the Ariel).
Best sound is obtained via BT using a smartphone app with graphic equaliser such as Denon or EQu where you have total sound control with internet radio and your music library.
I have extensively searched and researched finding this to be head & shoulders above the competition.
The Soundmaster 650Si Dab+ looks similar but is pathetic in comparison (not good sound, small & no external charging though it’s often listed as having it).
I did not buy a refurbished one preferring to have a brand-new one so there was no question of the battery condition.
If, as someone has said, the little charge light on the back is a bit bright then stick a bit of Blu-Tack or tape over it (some people are never happy)
In my opinion this is an outstanding product.
More colour variants/ combinations would be good. My suggestion for the next one would be ‘walnut with the black facure’. And a an oem 12v charger would be a good addition for the motorhome (though it’s not difficult to find one).
Delivered next day ! Great radio. Very clear instruction booklet. Within minutes I had stored all my favourite radio stations in the presets.
I am no techi, but I also managed to connect to my computer, via the Blue tooth connection. So I am able to listen to mp3 tracks on it.
Great sound with the built in equalizer.
DAB signal very clear in any room.
Overall great value for money. I can’t fault it in any way !

Overall its a good unit for the money. Sound quality is ok clear but lacking in stamina when bass is applied, can slightly overwhelm the speakers handling. Why oh why do the companies not put the value in quality soeakers is beyond me but as I said its ok.
DAB works very well.
Good tip for ALL bluetooth radios. Always scan twice. Yes twice. In almost every case your available channels increase on second scan. No idea why, it just works.
So yes its a good buy but dont expect a power house of sound. Its more your smaller room device.
Enjoy!
looks great and sounds great,, cheaper than the main brands, but just as good.
thanks
I wanted a DAB radio that looked good, sounded good and could be taken anywhere. This radio ticked all the boxes. And it is re-chargeable! Batteries arer expensive! I did a lot of research, both in shops and on line. This really does tick all the boxes. I love it! AND it was delivered within 24 hours of purchase! Can’t do better than that.
Brilliant sound excellent DAB coverage an all around top piece of kit and value for money as well
Better than expected for the price, controls a bit fiddley but I am an oldster with arthritic fingers and I can still work it.
Only 1 grump the SELECT button does not exist ( nowhere does it tell you that you have to press the volume button)
please correct the handbook!!
I bought this radio after reading reviews and checking the features. I’ve had it around 10 days now and I’m impressed with the quality. I compared the radio with a similar model costing 3 times the price. I’m glad I didn’t pay the extra cash. The radio looks very smart and sounds nice. The battery is very good. I use the radio in my bathroom mainly. It gets used around 30 minutes a day. I use it at half volume and it went 8 days before I charged it again today, and it was still showing one bar of the three for the battery. I’d buy it again tomorrow if I needed it.

I previously had an early wood framed Pure Tempus DAB Radio which has lasted well over 20 years, but recently gave up the ghost and was diagnosed as not repairable.
I was looking for something affordable, less than 100, that has a reasonable amount of oomph, not a tinny sound. I also wanted it portable, and this radio includes an in built battery pack. I want to be able to move it round the house, and sometimes take it out in the garden to listen to where I am working or relaxing.
Alterative Pure radios are good but expensive, and a battery pack is also an extra almost 40, so excellent quality, probably superior build quality, but double the cost.
I had not heard of Azatom as a brand before, British designed, but manufactured in China. I went for the larger twin speaker stereo model. The sound is good, no rattling case at full volume. The instruction manual is not the best, you have to work your way through reading around the information then trying things out. The case is wood around the sides, the front white finish looks a bit cheaper and may mark, the carrying strap is flexible faux leather. The display screen at low setting is a bit bright for the bedroom, and maybe a bit too dim on a bright sunny day. Tuning in initially was quick and straightforward. and it was already partly charged, but completed to full charge quickly. For less than 70 including the rechargeable in built battery with good volume, and a decent sound quality, it seemed the best available set on offer, and so far so good after a few days use.
The only concern is from some other reviewers where the radio has stopped working or developed problems just a few months after purchase, so fingers crossed that longer reliability and durability will be OK. Only time will tell, not quite as classy as the Pure alternatives, but equally a great deal cheaper, I hope it will be money well spent. If I run into any issues I will return to update this review. At present I am delighted with this purchase.

I’ve owned and been very happy with Pure DAB radios before but was looking a nice-looking wooden-body model for our kitchen, that offered Bluetooth, line in, DAB2, and simple controls. This one was my choice, with part of the appeal being the <60 price tag. I've been very impressed, had it more than 6 months now. The body is probably a veneer but the finish is good and easy to clean given we're using it in the kitchen. Controls are simple to follow and it's picked up a huge range of station. The sound is very good, not quite as rich as a Pure Evoke-2 I've had for many years, but the sound controls can be set up to max the bass while getting a good overall balance, giving a good warm tone for voice and music. For the money I paid for this, I'd be surprised if there's a better DAB radio out there.
Received today.It needs testing over a few months but on first reaction sound quality is nice and feels sturdy, good button feel, scanned stations and fixed in a room my previous dab failed to pick up signals in when powered by mains.Quite heavy so sits securely. Black wood case looks refined. i think it might be the best value for money item pound for pound on market so i’ll see in a few months
Overall a good radio that has good sound if working properly and well built also looks great and is easy to use and move around the house. The battery seems to last a good 6-7 hours on a moderate volume level and the Bluetooth is a great asset and the only thing that would be a nice addition would be a remote control.
good radio nice sound easy to use. connects with blue tooth no issue. Looks good as well
It is a fairly substantial item but I suppose you need that to produce a good sound. The controls are fine but I always have a problem with preset stations. In the past you may have had five buttons for five preset stations which was easy. Now you have a lot more but it is much more complicated. In the dark or half-asleep it can be a challenge. Apart from that I am very happy.
I like the ability to alter the treble and bass output. The sensitivity on F.M. is not so good as D.A.B but as most stations are on D.A.B. this possible does not matter.
The battery has not run out when it has been used in the garden for most of the day in the summer but I would have liked the carrying handle to have been longer so that it could be folded down to the back of the radio to look neater.
looking good on colour sound enjoy it was birthday gift like i
I was very pleased with this radio. Easy to set up. Added benefit of Bluetooth connectivity. Sound quality is good.
great product – easy to use, ;looks smart and sound quality is very good
highly recommend
Literally a great looking sound system, crisp sound with easy set up, dab radios are awesome and this little thing is stylish and goes with my room perfectly. Looks expensive and display is very clear. Can charge phones too which is really handy
Edit – All wel and good for a few months and now the display doesn’t work and it has problems picking up aux cable. Mabye give it a miss and get something bette

Yeah great radio. Sounds fab, easy to set up, looks great. Just get one.
Lovely little radio, good sound and the battery is a bonus. Had to ring Azatom with a query. Got sorted straight away. Excellent customer service.
perfect companion whilst in my workshop (large garage size) not as loud as I had hoped for bbq parties though. a little disappointed after all the British and proud ramble in the description to find it is actually made in China although I suppose this is reflected in the price I would still have preferred British made. it has bluetooth, dab and lne in for my turntable and this is a hard combination to find. I would highly recommend. nice item.
I like all these RADIO station nice looking radio easy to set up thanks
This is a excellent radio, quality of build, price, with an outstanding sound.
Looks good loud enough for bedroom , don’t think it would be loud enough in a large place, have tried numerous time to register it on there website with no joy as the link theY are meant to send doesn’t . Found it easy to save stations, could do with a remote control is the only complaint I have.
Having read some of the reviews on Amazon I decided to take a punt and buy the Azatom. I wasn’t disappointed. Sound quality is good and sound level more than adequate for use inside and out (I’ve never gone much above 50% volume). I have used it out in the garden all day and the battery, from full, lasted with power to spare. Bluetooth was easy to set up and works perfectly. Can charge phone whilst streaming to radio which does normally drain phone battery. There is also a aux port and the radio comes with a jack to jack lead if you’d rather not use Bluetooth The only downside, which has been mentioned in another review is the display. Despite it having brightness settings, even on the highest setting the display can be hard to see. But don’t be put off by this one minus point, it’s a brilliant radio for the money and also comes with a 3 year warranty which you have to register online with Azatom. I thoroughly recommend it.
I asked for this as a birthday present because it has been very difficult to find these features in a portable unit with a simple rechargeable configuration (ie plug it in). It’s only for listening to Radio6m in the garden, or playing Spotify from my phone. Either way it has to have radio as well as Bluetooth because of the problems with mobile reception and distant wifi in my garden. And this does it at a very good price!
This was a replacement for my Sonus Pure 1 that died. When I trawled through all the models though, I found
that there was no equivalent. The Sonus had 5 preset buttons ( just press to select a station ); had a touch-talk feature ( touch the handle and it speaks the time ); and the display turned off ! No other model has these features, even Sonus doesn’t make one now.
Anyway, I got this one and I quite like it. It has ‘soft presets’, i.e. you have to scroll through the menu to select.
The display can be set to very dim, which is ok, but I often turn it off if I wake in the night.
Its plus is that it has stereo speakers and the sound quality is good.
Another feature is the digital volume control which at first didn’t seem to go low enough. This is a consenquence
of ‘ perceived sound ‘ as what sounds quiet during the day, seems louder in the middle of the night.
It can be moderated by angling the radio slightly away. I’m getting used to it, but frankly it’s easier just to have
an analogue volume control as on the Sonus.
One other slight negative is that the sleep function doesn’t fade out ( as on the Sonus ), but just cuts out.
So, in conclusion, I’m quite happy with it but it’s a shame that manufacturers all seem to follow a fashion
in design which ignores already established good design for user convenience.
Sound quality was really good. Unit looks good. Not sure of battery life, but make sure you turn it fully off rather than on standby. Unit Is quite complicated to use, but then again I am age challenged!
Great sound, Not checked out the battery as yet. But its quite fiddley to set, and the light is way too bright even dimmed.. Its for my bedroom so ive had to cover up the light with black felt, doubled over, Wanted a large clock display but not accessable when it is on., my eyesight is poor. esp at night.
Looks good, if a little big for a bedside radio
I like i
The handle is a good size and feels perfectly secure to carry the radio by.
it easily founds stations during set up very quickly , and picked up and connected to bluetooth very quickly and remains stable for DAB and bluetooth signals at all times.
A great radio unit , with a great sound that does beat the more expensive main brand radio every day.
Liked the quality and sound but a bit fiddly to set up
This radio works well.
The sound is pretty good for music and for speech.
There is plenty of volume.
I’ve had no problem with reception.
It was easy to set up and is easy to use.
So it does all the things you would want a rechargeable portable radio to do, and it does them well.
The downsides are:
it is quite large for a portable radio, much bigger than the one it was bought to replace. It is wide and deep, so it takes up a lot more space in a small kitchen.
It is really not that pleasing to look at. The front is all white plastic and looks a bit cheap, the sides are wood effect which again looks a bit cheap, the handle is a kind of faux leather, and even the LCD display manages to look badly designed, mostly to do with the specific blue colour chosen for the back light.
In summary: For the price it is a good sounding, practical radio. If Aesthetics are your thing then you might want to look elsewhere. I went for features and price, and listen to it with my eyes closed.
The price of an item is not important to me, I solely look at the product features and what it can offer me in sound quality and cosmetic looks and this appliance ticked ALL my boxes.
So, what does this product do or me?
Cosmetic Appearance: Looks great with an excellent layout of buttons and a nice large three-line LCD screen.
Sound Performance: Crystal clear sound with a good volume and individual changes of both bass and treble (available though “settings”).
It even has a 5v USB socket so you can even charge your devices.
There are two ways of turning off this Digital Radio – into Standby Mode or completely off to conserve the battery if you are using it from the very long-lasting battery performance.
The telescopic antenna is fairly long but is the correct wavelength to gain the exceptional reception this Digital Radio offers from the huge amount of DAB stations it can receive.
So, would I recommend this Multiplex D2 DAB Radio? Very much so and as I am so happy with it, I bought another today (Saturday March 14th) so that I have one at home and at work.
Thank you for reading my review 🙂
Work excellent reception already have black ones in work very impressed ease of use tuning into stations
Great price for what you get. Doubles as a Bluetooth speaker. Has great reception and brilliant sound quality.
Great price and battery life…. instructions, especially how to turn off, bit lacking
Decent sound. Good dab sensitivity. Use anywhere with rechargeable battery. Just good value.
It is a bit early to give a full review of this item, as I have only had it for a few days, and at present am only using it as a radio alarm. I still have to wrestle with setting presets, but hope that there will be no problems with them.
The sound is excellent, and it seems to be a well-made piece of kit.
My only criticism is that registering as a new customer is not easy, and in order to register the set for warranty, I had to ring Customer Service, who were helpful.
This radio looks very contemporary and has a great sound.It is easy to use and is highly recommended.
The only down side is you have to turn the volume very loud while using it as Bluetooth speaker so when next person turns it onto radio it is deafening. Haven’t used it on battery so can’t comment overall very pleased with it.
It has a really nice sound and looks good. The channels were picked up easily compared to the old one which packed up.
The only thing that surprised me was that although charged the battery went flat overnight. It seems that even on standby its drawing a fair bit of power, I keep it plugged in now unless I need to move it. It is really easy to use too.
did not work as well as my old one less stations available
This was a gift for my elderly mother. She loves it. Good build quality and sounds good too. For the price I don’t think I coulda done bette
A really lovely radio which runs off mains or battery so I can take it anywhere. Nice looking and great sound.
It was for my husband to use when working in the garden or the car and he is really pleased with it.
Had to buy a new DAB radio that had DAB+ so I could listen to my normal radio station. After looking at a lot I picked this one as it had all the functions and more that I wanted. I was not disappointed, I can connect my phone via Bluetooth and charge my phone through the radio. I can listen to my favourite radio station again. My only down side is it was a bit bigger than I was expecting.
I.m impressed with this radio. Good quality, good sound quality, easy to tune and use.
The sound quality is very good. The Bluetooth works well. I haven’t used it on battery so have not commented on that .
My wife uses it all the which means it must be ok!
Finds DAB stations very easily and provides a really good sound quality. Well finished and nice looking bit of kit!
FM, DAB, Bluetooth, line in/out, in-built rechargeable battery and a USB phone charger. It looks fantastic and so far has been child’s play to use – it is for my 8 year old in her bedroom. I wish I kept it for myself. The reception on DAB is very good and sounds fantastic, unlike many budget makes. It has a good quality feel to it, light to carry, and it very well laid out to use. I worked it out quickly myself and showed my 8 year old how to use it. The instruction manual is pretty kiddy friendly too, and grown-up friendly as well.
This is an ideal radio to us next to my bed. It tunes to many DAB stations and its alarms are great.
brilliant radio.Please send my free headphones as described in the order details many thanks
This really does seem to be a quality product! The sound reproduction is superb, as is the tuning set up and reception strength in a location that our previous DAB radio found difficult. It looks great too. I can’t comment on battery yet, but other buyers have been impressed. The only slight ‘niggle ‘ are slightly unclear instructions regarding pre-sets.

Brilliant value for money great dab radio looks really nice and sounds good
This product is OK. The radio sound is very low, very very faint, nothing like my Pure DAB radio. I purchased it solely due to the Bluetooth/DAB combination. Its Bluetooth works well, even when the phone it connects to, is very far away on a different floor! The Bluetooth version is actually Multiplex D1 not D2 as the instructions say. I raised it with the seller, and they noted that the manufacturer did not update the bluetooth version because D1 was already quite stable. So I have no idea if this is an older version D1 that I have or this is as good as D2 gets..
The handle arrived crumpled so it looks a bit shabbier than what you see on the photo.. Not many DAB/Bluetooth options out there on the market at this price though (most are DAB/Aux, or FM/Bluetooth), so I would have ordered this again if I was given another choice.
Brought this for our kitchen, really pleased with it. Works from the mains as well.
Very pleased with this product;the design has been well thought out and it is well made.
The sound is also very good despite the compact dimensions-very good value for money.
Many thanks.

Bought this as a replacement radio for my kitchen, my old one being 35 years, its excellent sound quality and a good looking radio. Quick delivery and I am very happy with this purchase I would definitely recommend i
Great look and sound. Quality is on a par with radios of far higher price range.
I like the size, quality and sound levels.Pleased with purchase.
So far very pleased with this purchase. Had been trying to get new alarm radio that could tune to Dab Virgin. The radio has excellent an quality of sound.
The light dims enough for me at night time. The alarm is not the easiest to set but there are two so once done you probably won’t need to adjust too often. The snooze is activated by pressing the volume control when the alarm sounds, so it is easy to reach out and be sure you are pressing right thing. Only negative is that you press once for 5 mins, twice for 10 and so on, there is no 10 min preset. I ended up contacting Azatom to clarify this and they were quick to come back to me with the answer, so top marks at this stage for customer service.
The 10 watts output is more than adequate, the sound is warm and Rich.
Instruction manual easy to follow came very well wrapped and a speedy delivery.
Brilliant , but we are returning it as the aerial broke on the second time we used it , I think it was too tigh
Great radio, can’t ask for anything more. rechargeable and such a great signal. I had sent a different radio back because DAB signal was none existent for my favourite radio station, this radio picked up all the stations without the aerial up!
I ordered this radio on the basis of customer reviews and I haven’t been disappointed. The radio is for my husband who has poor hearing so we needed a very clear sounding device with good volume. I was pleased that it arrived so quickly and was well packaged. Apparently, it is manufactured by a UK firm so that explains the quality build and pleasant appearance of the radio. It was easy to tune in and the sound is of crystal clarity with huge volume if you need it. I note that I can also charge my iPhone with the usb connection which is an added bonus. I haven’t been able to test it out in the garden yet with the onset of autumn but that can wait till next summer. Meanwhile, we shall enjoy many hours of pleasant listening.
WHAT A BARGAIN!!
Loving this for 54 you can’t go wrong. I have decent headphones momentum on ear and the amazing foster 50s bell like sound, this dab radio gives of bell like sound clear defined crisp for 54 you’re laughing we will see about the one test left, time wear and tear,w with the extended warranty the manufacturer is confident?

Very good radio excellent sound having the built in battery is a very good idea
I bought this radio last week. It has a good sound for its size. The battery also seams to be good. Today I have listened to it all day on the battery. I am self employed and am using this radio on site. It was easy to scan for channels, it would be better if it had some preset buttons for the favourites, but saving and selecting the presets is not difficult but does involve pressing a button and turning the dial. The display is easy to read and the time display is a handle feature. The brightness of this can be adjusted. Stuart L.
This radio fits the bill perfectly. We get a good reception even in a poor reception area, it has a built in battery for portability which is a plus, the stereo sound even at high volume is consistent with very little or no distortion.
It’s compact enough to place anywhere in the house, we have ours in the kitchen, and is very nice to look at.
I managed to Bluetooth my iPhone with my music to it with no hassle at all however it Wes discoverable as a D1 instead of the D2 model, I assume this is just a software anomaly from their previous models.
All in all for the price paid I’m very pleased with this product and would recommend it as a first buy or a replacement product.
Radio is great when you get a good signal. I bought this because it’s supposedly better than the others at getting good reception. It’s not, it’s the same as the others. I struggle to get good reception where I live and this is hit n miss depending on the weather. The battery on it lasts a good day and a half and it looks neat whichever room it gets put in. Overall I’m pleased but don’t buy if you live in a weak signal area.
Tha Azatom DAB radio has sapased my expectations. It is very easy to use and storing selected stations and recalling them is a breeze. I can only call it fantastic, if a little on the big size but it does have 2 speakers.
Use it in my bedroom. Love the easy use of stations. Crisp clear sounds
The Azatom Multiplex is an excellent alarm clock radio with a very big sound from a very small unit absolutely fantastic.
DAB is much better than I remember last time I tried it. While I’ve not got a good signal for fm here (hissy weak) DAB is still clear and uninterrupted (even before I remembered to extend the Ariel).
Best sound is obtained via BT using a smartphone app with graphic equaliser such as Denon or EQu where you have total sound control with internet radio and your music library.
I have extensively searched and researched finding this to be head & shoulders above the competition.
The Soundmaster 650Si Dab+ looks similar but is pathetic in comparison (not good sound, small & no external charging though it’s often listed as having it).
I did not buy a refurbished one preferring to have a brand-new one so there was no question of the battery condition.
If, as someone has said, the little charge light on the back is a bit bright then stick a bit of Blu-Tack or tape over it (some people are never happy)
In my opinion this is an outstanding product.
More colour variants/ combinations would be good. My suggestion for the next one would be ‘walnut with the black facure’. And a an oem 12v charger would be a good addition for the motorhome (though it’s not difficult to find one).
