Product Information

What’s more, the real-wood casing combined with the embedded digital amplifier in this product makes for a sound that makes you want to sit up and listen. You can almost feel the music move through you with a radio as powerful as this. Some of these radios cost more than the regular Evoke D4 with Bluetooth radio, but they are a good option if matching the radio to your decor is important to you. Part of the comprehensive Pure Evoke line, which also includes the C-D4 and the C-F8, the Evoke C-D6 is a mid-level all-in-one radio created with a focus on functionality and style. As part of the Evoke all-in-one music system collection, you can expect an easy-to-use interface with the CD-6, including intuitive and simple controls. The Evoke C-D6 is also impressive when it comes to sound quality. Give your music extra bass, depth and clarity so you can finally hear what you've been missing. Powerful tuned stereo speakers combine with the wood casing and the advanced digital amplifier to deliver class-leading audio. Whatever music you love, you’ll love it even more with Evoke C-D6.

In general, the bigger a DAB radio is, the more likely it is to have a remote control, though some large tabletop radios don’t have remote controls and some smaller portable radios do have one. The standard Evoke D4 with Bluetooth radio comes in maple casing, but you can choose from a range of colours in the Evoke D4 Mio with Bluetooth range. The colours on offer are the same as those in the Evoke D2 with Bluetooth range (raspberry, almond, aloe, cerulean, charcoal, pewter, scarlet).

If having a remote control is important to you, it can be difficult to sift through all the options and identify which have a remote and which don’t. That’s why we’ve put together this list of 5 of the best DAB radios with a remote control available in the UK. The C-D6 feels sturdy and has a good amount of weight to it, though at roughly 4 kg it’s not too heavy to carry. The walnut-effect design gives it a classy, premium look and adds to the depth of sound. Unlike the radios looked at so far, the Evoke F3 is an internet radio. This means you can connect to WiFi and listen to Spotify or the 20,000+ internet radio stations from across the world. You can also connect to your phone or other device via Bluetooth to use your radio as a wireless speaker.

Spotify Connect* gives you instant access to millions of songs on your Evoke C-F6, using the Spotify app on your mobile or tablet to directly connect and control your music wirelessly. Built-in Bluetooth lets you choose your favourite music and send it wirelessly direct from your mobile or tablet. If being able to stream music from a Bluetooth-enabled device like a smartphone or laptop is important to you, the Evoke D4 with Bluetooth is a good option. Otherwise you should go for the regular Evoke D4, which costs less. This product is more of a complete sound system than just a radio; it features FM/DAB/DAB+ radio, a CD player, Bluetooth and a USB port you can use to play MP3 files. Changing digital stations: You can change the radio’s digital stations using the remote or the front panel controls. For the remote, press the 🢨 or 🢩 button to browse through a list of the available stations and then press “Select” to choose a station. If you want to use the front panel control knob, turn the select dial right or left to scan through a list of the available stations. Push the button to change a station. On the downside, one slight performance issue we had was that the remote wasn’t always very responsive. We had to make sure we were pointing the device directly at the radio for it to work. Pure Evoke C-D6 review: VerdictThis radio could work well as a bedside radio since it has two alarms with a snooze function and a sleep timer. It has a decent amount of volume, so it would also be a good choice for the living room. This particular radio system comes with an attractive real-wood casing, which is common throughout the Evoke portfolio. From the moment you first lift the product out of the box, you’re swept away by the elegance of the design.

Not only do you get a product that looks nice, but you also get technology that delivers relatively good value. If being able to listen to thousands of radio stations via the internet sounds exciting, the Evoke F3 could be a good buy. It’s a very modern and reliable radio with lots of smart features, and can connect with your phone, laptop and other devices. A remote control is a very useful feature for a digital radio to have, as it means you can control the radio from wherever you are in the room. The Ruark Audio R4 MK3 has a similar design to the Evoke C-D6 and offers similar features including a CD player and Bluetooth as well as FM/DAB/DAB+. The R4 MK3 has superior sound quality to the Evoke C-D6, though it is significantly more expensive. If you’re a real audiophile and want a top-of-the-range radio/CD player, the Ruark Audio R4 MK3 could be what you’re looking for. While the Evoke C-D6 is an expensive piece of machinery – it’s also an investment in excellent audio quality.

Using Your Phone as a Remote Control

These apps usually aren’t updated as often as they could be, and users often face frustrating compatibility issues. This all-in-one system in the Evoke range combines digital radio and easy wireless Bluetooth connections with a CD player and FM connectivity. As with most Pure radios, the Evoke C-D6 is made to be highly user-friendly. Setting the radio up for the first time should be easy. However, like any piece of technology, it can be challenging to set the radio up, especially if it’s your first time interacting with Pure Radios.
