The Pure Evoke C-D4 is a good buy if you’re looking for something that is more of a compact hi-fi rather than just a radio. It’s quite expensive, but has an aesthetically pleasing design and would look great in the bedroom or the kitchen. There aren’t many products out there that combine an FM/DAB radio with Bluetooth and a CD player, but the Evoke C-D4 manages to do so in style. However, some buyers have had problems with the CD player which appears to be this radio’s Achilles heel. Similar Radios The D2 rings out clear as a bell, highlighting in particular that all-important midrange. The D4 sounds just a touch veiled in comparison – the vocals in songs are harder to make out, the spoken word is just not quite as clear.
There are a few minor downsides to this device, such as the fact that you can’t always get a great connection with the remote control unless you’re standing right in front of it – which negates the point. Additionally, though the sound of this DAB radio CD player is exceptional, it can be a little heavy on the bass when taken straight out of the box. You might need to adjust some of the settings before you get the sound balance that works for you. The stylish good looks aren’t just for show – the wood casing gives a depth and solidity that combines perfectly with the tuned speaker and advanced digital amplifier to deliver class-leading audio. Whatever music you love, Evoke C-D4 will make it sound even better. What's in the box? But it’s precisely because that phrase ‘warm, fuzzy bottom end’ has gone through our minds that alarm bells ring. Such a term would never have entered our heads with the Evokes D2 and F4. It’s a nice sound, sure – but is it ‘Pure’ enough?It is, as we feared: the D4 falls between two stools – we would trade up to the F4 for its internet functions, or down to the D2 for its purer sound.
Ultimately, the Pure Evoke C-D4 radio with CD player was designed to give today’s audio lovers the freedom to listen to their favourite shows and tunes however they like. You can tap into your whole music collection without any restrictions – unless you happen to be addicted to vinyl and cassettes. Pure Evoke C-D4 review: PerformanceBy far, this is one of the most attractive radios that we’ve seen from Pure to date. While options like the Pure Avalon are sleek and modern, the Evoke brings a touch of retro elegance into its aesthetic appeal. Clearly, we’re getting an updated version of some of the traditional tuner radios that you used to see in homes throughout the 70s and 80s.
The pure evoke c-d4 radio is a versatile audio device that supports both analog and digital tuning. Equipped with the ability to receive DAB, DAB+ and FM radio broadcasts, it offers a total of 20 preset station slots to conveniently store your favorite stations. The device features a single built-in speaker with a RMS rated power of 10 watts. It is also equipped with an optical drive player for CDs and MP3s.
Verdict
We’d suggest upping your budget if that is the case, or if you don’t absolutely need a one-box solution, trump both with an all-in-one system such as Denon’s Award-winning D-M40DAB. The CD player is front-loading, so you slide discs into it. It can play CD-RW discs as well as regular CDs and CD-Rs, and it also has repeat and shuffle options. Like all the radios in Pure’s Evoke range, the C-D4 has a very stylish design. It looks and feels well made and high-quality.
