The Roberts Revival Petite 2 portable DAB /FM radio builds on the success of its predecessor released in 2021.
Thanks in part to the wonders of DSPs and passive bass radiators, manufacturers are putting out an ever-widening soundstage with even the most compact devices. The new Roberts Revival Petite 2 is a fitting example. It’s an innocuous-looking yesteryear classic transistor radio. Fits in the palm of your hand. Anyone who grew up with such devices expects the familiar tinny sound with virtually no low end. That’s different with this radio. First, it is a digital DAB+ tuner (for those who prefer analog, there is also an FM tuner) with USB-C rechargeable battery. When fully charged good for 20 hours of playing time. Thanks to a 40 mm driver assisted by a passive radiator there is still quite a bit of low coming out of the whole.
Practical is the alarm clock function, while this version also includes a whip antenna for good reception. Available in six colors (up to seven from April), at a cost of £99.99.
