It scans through the available station signals when you first switch to DAB+ mode, and from there on you can use the menus to find and select something to listen to, or connect to a Bluetooth source. Here the 2.8in colour screen and circular control pad below it make things slightly easier than the three line text displays and push buttons of old, and the Evoke Home had no issues hooking up or maintaining a connection.

A wizard takes you through selecting a source for the time and date, then connecting to your home Wi-Fi network using WPS or manual methods. Pure Evoke Home review: How easy is it to use?įor a system with a lot of features, setup is relatively simple. Both are luxury audio devices, though, so the Evoke Home has its work cut out if it wants to match them. The Roberts Stream 67 has all the same sources plus a few more, but costs around £580, while the rather beautiful Ruark Audio R3 costs around £650. This is an expensive system, but it’s actually quite reasonably priced compared to rivals. And if you use other streaming services or there’s something else not covered, you have Bluetooth connectivity for that as well. You have a CD player for those albums you bought in the eighties, nineties and noughties, and Spotify Connect for the playlists you’re setting up now. You have DAB+ for your UK radio stations, and internet radio to listen to great specialist stations from New York to New Delhi, Berlin and Barcelona to Busan. But its main allure lies in its compact size, and the fact that it has everything you need to listen to content from most of your favourite sources, plus a few you might not have discovered yet.īest Bluetooth speaker 2022: Portable, waterproof and rugged options for every occasion

It’s packing an impressive driver arrangement under its attractive Skandi-influenced exterior, with two 20mm tweeters and a pair of 3.5in woofers delivering up to 100W audio output. The Pure Evoke Home has an RRP of £400 and is available from various retailers including Amazon and Robert Dyas.

Pure Evoke Home review: What do you get for the money? In a market bursting with retro radios and often dated interfaces and controls, there’s definitely room for something new and exciting that can shake things up, but has Pure’s all-in-one audio system got what it takes? The Evoke Home combines DAB+, FM and internet radio, Spotify streaming, Bluetooth and even a CD player with a powerful stereo speaker setup and a new fold-out colour display. Its trademark stained wood cabinets and translucent white speaker grills have been replaced by something more modern, even Scandinavian, but the audio provision remains the main attraction. The Pure Evoke Home is the largest, most expensive model in Pure’s revamped Evoke series, which sees the UK DAB radio specialists reinventing its most successful range.
