Acoustic energy wifi internet radio

Never finished my master degree, but chose to take up self-employed work which didn't turn me rich nor famous.

Now working for a mid-sized software company within a very promising department as head of server software development. This entry was posted in at Home , Computers , English. Bookmark the permalink.

This revolutionary radio lets you listen to over Internet radio stations from around the globe with no signal problems, no pops and crackles, no international content boundaries.

And if your favorite Internet radio stations are not listed, you can easily add them using the Add a Station Tool. Best of all, you'll pay no subscription fees!

If there are multiple networks picked up, you can easily choose between them with the dial. You then press the select button to connect. Once you are connected the next thing to do is to enter the Firmware menu in Configuration and update it, which it will do automatically.

Once done, you enter the Stations menu from where you can the choose of browsing stations using either Location or Genre. A really great feature is that if the station has the option available you can choose between a live stream or an On Demand service.

The BBC does this brilliantly. You can choose between shows by twirling the dial and you can even go to a specified time in the broadcast. There are other downsides too. The problem is that most online radio stations are broadcast with a relatively low bit-rate, typically 44Kbps, lower than that used by the much maligned DAB system.

Some go as low as 16Kbps and just sound awful. Acoustic Energy claims that there are two speaker drivers in the Wifi radio to produce stereo sound, but even if there are, they are too small and too close together to produce high quailty sound. Listening to a number of stations, the office consensus was that it sounded like old style transistor radio.

By contrast the Evoke 3 sounded rich and warm. Another bugbear is that it takes some time to switch between stations as it needs to buffer the stream. It can scan for shared folders on PC on the network and play the MP3 files it finds. Another potentially interesting feature is the Reply button, which is there as a return path for interactive services. Perhaps for interactive radio quizzes and Pop Idol style voting.
