Tivoli Audio announces a new colour collection for the popular PAL BT and PAL+ BT portable DAB radios just in time for the Spring, with Anise Flower, Lucite Green and Deep Oceal Teal options.
The colours have been chosen after careful consideration of global interior, fashion and product design trends-- or so the company claims, at any rate. This is not the first time Tivoli has presented special colours for its radios, since in the past it has partnered with brands such as Coach, Capallini, Anthropologie, Peter Max and Fiat to create limited edition products.
The Nomadic Audio speaker consists of two components, the aforementioned Nomadic stereo speaker and the Speakase suitcase. The speaker carries two 6- by 4-inch woofers in a boxless design and two soft dome 22mm tweeters allowing it to cover the entire frequency range, together with a 60W Class D amplifier and 2200mAh battery. Connectivity comes through either Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX and stereo pairing (TWS) ability or wired 3.5mm jack.
The MT2 features tracking force, anti-skate force, cartridge overhang and arm height preset in the factory, and as such should be plug 'n' play. It has a moving coil cartridge with sufficient output for compatibility with both moving coil phono inputs and moving magnet equivalents, with a design combining an alloy cantilever with an elliptical diamond stylus.
The Mk2 combines convenient USB access to music streaming with upgraded CD transport and DAC board, dedicated headphone amplification, expanded input choices and analogue circuits redesigned to deliver an extremely wide and flat frequency response with very low distortion. The USB input handles PCM data up to 384kHz and DSD64 natively, with jitter rejection ensuring signal integrity is maintained even with lower quality sources and long cable runs.
The series consists of bookshelf and floorstanding speakers, as well as a dedicated centre and a subwoofer suitable for both two-channel and multichannel installations. Inside the speakers are the Black C-CAM dome tweeter from the company's Bronze series and smooth flowing HiVe II port technology for fast transient response and tighter bass, while high overall impedance (8 ohms) allows driving with low power amplifiers.
