Benefits

• The FM module inside Devo is a completely separate and independent radio, providing twice the dependability.
• The Devo is rechargeable using a supplied AC/DC charger for times when wall power is available. The self-charge option provides a dependable backup for conventional analogue FM broadcasts when you’re away from a plug point and your batteries run down.
• Green energy - a sustainable product that’s built to last.  The power mechanism is tested to 500 000 input cycles, and the internal batteries are tested up to 10 000 self-charge cycles.
• The higher power consumption of typical DAB modules means that these radios are heavy on batteries and really only useful from a mains supply. The Devo offers a real alternative to grid electricity, disposable batteries or fossil fuels, and therefore the first truly portable DAB radio.
• When your batteries run out and you need to wind for power, the Freeplay self-charge mechanism converts over 74% of your kinetic energy into stored electricity.
• Self-charge while playing anytime to top up the power – never miss the end of that song, the end of the game or that last item in the news report.
• RCA output jacks allow you to use your Devo as the DAB tuner of an existing hi-fi component system.
