The DAB Digital Clock Radio Tempus-1XT Gets a Makeover And More Than A Dozen New Features
PURE Digital presents TEMPUS-1XT, a bedside DAB digital radio with sophisticated style and features. TEMPUS-1XT takes the award winning formula of its predecessor, TEMPUS-1, and adds a host of new features as well as improved audio quality, smoother lines, a choice of cherry or maple finish, and the latest alarm clock functions, making it the most flexible bedside radio on the market.
TEMPUS-1XT includes all the features which have made TEMPUS-1 the choice for night-time radio listeners, including: multiple sophisticated but easy to operate alarms; touch-sensitive SnoozeHandle? technology; backlit night time clock display; and timed record function for use with MiniDisc or cassette recorder. TEMPUS-1XT adds a host of new features too – many requested directly by TEMPUS-1 users, who will be able to access the new features via PURE?s unique USB upgradeability.
Up to three flexible alarms can now be set for Weekdays only, Saturday, Sunday or Weekends. The alarm volume can now be set independently of main radio volume and full control of alarms and timers can be now accessed from standby. The sleep timer fades gently to silence to avoid jolting the listener back from sleep.
TEMPUS-1XT?s combined sleep timer and programmable alarm enable users to fall asleep listening to one station and wake up to a different station (or a simple alarm tone if preferred). TEMPUS-1XT users can even set a second or third alarm for someone else with its own time and radio station, or a different alarm for weekdays or weekends, or a back-up tone alarm to come on some time after the radio starts ? the flexibility is astonishing.
Innovative SnoozeHandle technology means that when the alarm goes off a simple touch on TEMPUS-1XT?s handle sets the alarm to snooze or, at other times, illuminates the full-screen clock for easy night-time viewing. The clear display offers selectable brightness settings and an automatically updated clock, which means owners will never again miss the British Summer Time clock movement. An easily accessible sleep button makes the radio go off automatically after a selectable period of time, with the volume gently fading out.
Says Kevin Dale, General Manager, PURE Digital: ?We?re pleased to extend the improved looks, finishes and audio quality of our EVOKE-1XT and EVOKE-2XT to TEMPUS-1, making a hugely successful product even more desirable, and I?m delighted that existing TEMPUS-1 users will be able to get access to the great new features via USB upgradeability.?
