KR-120 DAB Kitchen Cabinet Radio

Wir haben zwar eine tolle Anlage im Wohnzimmer, aber ich muss es schon sehr laut aufdrehen um auch in der Küche gut Radio hören zu können. Lange überlegen wir deshalb schon uns ein Küchenradio zu kaufen. Das oneConcept KR-120 wurde es nun und ich kann nun Musik direkt in der Küche hören. Der Lieferumfang umfasst neben dem Radio selbst noch eine Anleitung, eine Antenne und Schrauben zur Montage. Das Radio hat auch einen Klappfuß, also könnte man es auch einfach so auf einer glatten Fläche aufstellen. Ich wollte allerdings ja eines zum Montieren unter einen Schrank, da bei mir eh schon so viel auf den Oberflächen rum steht. Das Montieren war sehr einfach. In der Anleitung ist eine Vorlage, die man nur unter den Schrank klebt und dann die korrekte Stelle für die Schrauben markieren kann. Danach muss man nur entscheiden ob man das Radio direkt unterm Schrank möchte (kurze Schrauben) oder mit etwas Luft (lange Schrauben und Abstandteile). Oben am Radio ist ein Plastikteil, das man raus ziehen kann und dieses schraubt man unter den Schrank. Das Radio wird dann einfach wieder drauf geschoben und schon hängt es. Das Netzkabel ist schön lang und ich konnte es gut hinterm Schrank hoch ziehen und oben in die Steckdose stecken. Die Antenne wird dann einfach hinten ins Radio gesteckt und irgendwo aufgestellt. Auch hier ist das Kabel schön lang. Sehr praktisch finde ich, dass die Antenne am Fuß magnetisch ist. Wir haben sie auf den Kühlschrank gestellt und sie kann nicht umkippen oder runter fallen. Vorne am Radio hat man ein kleines Display, dass die Uhrzeit anzeigt (die sich dank Funk automatisch einstellt) wenn das Radio aus ist. Das Display ist immer leicht beleuchtet, was ich sehr praktisch finde. Man hat somit nämlich immer ein Nachtlicht in der Küche an. :D Wenn man das Radio anmacht wird im Display der eingestellte Sender angezeigt. Neben dem Display ist auf einer Seite die An/Aus Taste und auf der anderen Seite die Bedientasten. Zum Anschalten drückt man einfach die Standby Taste. Es dauerte dann nur kurze Zeit bevor das Radio an war und der erste Sender empfangen wurde. Da es ein DAB Radio ist hat man gleich ganz viele Sender drin, die auch noch mit Informationen wie Rock Radio oder Pop Radio angezeigt werden. Man muss nichts programmieren oder suchen. Man kann natürlich auch umstellen auf normales Radio und dann mit den Tasten den Sender ganz klassisch suchen. Bis jetzt bin ich aber lieber bei DAB geblieben, da dort alle Sender die ich mag vorhanden sind. Die Sender sind bei DAB sehr klar und man hat kein rauschen oder Störungen. Selbst ohne Antenne war alles ganz sauber zu hören. Man kann seine Lieblingssender, egal ob DAB oder normale, auch einspeichern. Es gibt 20 Speicherplätze die man mit seinen Lieblingssendern belegen kann. Das geht mit den vorhandenen Tasten schnell und auch nachher diese Sender wieder abzurufen geht sehr einfach und schnell. Sehr praktisch für mich ist die Timer Funktion. Man kann hier eine gewisse Zeit angeben und danach hört man ein Piepen. Das ist für mich sehr praktisch, denn ich hatte bis jetzt keinen Timer in der Küche. Ich habe immer einfach auf die Küchenuhr geschaut, aber das war oft auch nicht so gut. Nun kann ich im Radio die Zeit einprogrammieren und kann mich drauf verlassen. Das Radio selbst ist gut verarbeitet und ich habe keinerlei Macken oder kaputte Stellen gefunden. Die Tasten sind von angenehmer Größe und lassen sich gut drücken. Das Display lässt sich gut lesen und hat saubere Zeichen. Das Licht ist leicht blau, was ich recht angenehm finde. Die Tasten sind gut in weiß beschriftet. Mir gefällt das Radio sehr und ich kann nun immer gut Musik in der Küche hören. Die Lautstärke lässt sich gut einstellen und der Lautsprecher kommt auch mit lauteren Tönen klar. Egal ob man es hinstellt oder unter einen Schrank hängt...es ist stabil und nimmt nicht viel Platz weg.

We have a great system in the living room, but I have to turn it up really loud to be able to listen to the radio in the kitchen. We have been thinking about buying a kitchen radio for a long time. We decided on the oneConcept KR-120 and I can now listen to music directly in the kitchen. In addition to the radio itself, the delivery includes instructions, an antenna and screws for installation. The radio also has a folding base, so you can simply set it up on a flat surface. However, I wanted one to mount under a cupboard, as I already have so much stuff lying around on the surfaces. Installation was very easy. The instructions include a template that you just stick under the cupboard and then mark the correct place for the screws. Then you just have to decide whether you want the radio directly under the cupboard (short screws) or with a bit of space (long screws and spacers). There is a plastic part on top of the radio that you can pull out and screw this under the cupboard. The radio is then simply pushed back on and it hangs. The power cable is nice and long and I could easily pull it up behind the cupboard and plug it into the socket at the top. The antenna is then simply plugged into the back of the radio and set up somewhere. Here too, the cable is nice and long. I find it very practical that the antenna is magnetic at the base. We put it on the fridge and it cannot tip over or fall down. At the front of the radio there is a small display that shows the time (which is set automatically thanks to the radio) when the radio is off. The display is always slightly illuminated, which I find very practical. It means you always have a night light on in the kitchen. :D When you turn the radio on, the display shows the station you are tuned to. Next to the display is the on/off button on one side and the control buttons on the other. To turn it on, just press the standby button. It only took a short time before the radio was on and the first station was received. Since it is a DAB radio, it has lots of stations on it, which are also displayed with information such as rock radio or pop radio. You don't have to program or search for anything. You can of course also switch to a normal radio and then use the buttons to search for the station in the traditional way. But up until now I have preferred to stick with DAB because it has all the stations I like. The stations are very clear on DAB and there is no noise or interference. Even without an antenna everything was very clear. You can also save your favorite stations, whether DAB or normal. There are 20 memory locations that you can assign to your favorite stations. This is quick with the buttons provided and calling up these stations again later is very quick and easy. The timer function is very practical for me. You can enter a certain time here and then you will hear a beep. This is very practical for me because I have never had a timer in the kitchen. I always just looked at the kitchen clock, but that was often not so good either. Now I can program the time into the radio and I can rely on it. The radio itself is well made and I have not found any flaws or broken parts. The buttons are a good size and easy to press. The display is easy to read and has clear characters. The light is a light blue, which I find quite pleasant. The buttons are clearly labeled in white. I really like the radio and I can now always listen to music in the kitchen. The volume is easy to adjust and the speaker can handle louder sounds. It doesn't matter whether you stand it up or hang it under a cupboard...it's sturdy and doesn't take up much space.

Non sono una grande cuoca, ma con la stima e ritmo della musica riesco a fare i miracoli :-) Forse perche amo la musica e l'amore riesce a trasportare le montagne? Cercavo una radio di piccole dimensioni e che non si debba mettere sul top, ma appendere sotto uno dei pensili. Penso che sia un ottima idea per risparmiare spazio ed avere la radio a portata di mano in vero senso della parola. Il prodotto arriva con i tasselli per fissarlo ed il manuale d'utilizzo in lingua inglese e tedesca, ma lo stesso utilizzo è davvero intuitivo. L'antenna è incorporata. Io ho scelto bianco perche si abbina alla perfezione con i miei pensili. La radio è leggera e si monta facilmente. Lo schermo una volta acceso illumina di colore azzurro ed è ben leggibile. alla prima accensione bisogna cercare le stazioni radio e qui abbiamo possibilità di trovarle su 2 frequenze: la FM, che ormai stia passando di moda e la DAB+, la novità pazzesca - la frequenza digitale, cio che garantisca che i canali si trovano da soli, senza dover impostarli ogni volta e la qualità della trasmissione audio è migliore, pero dobbiamo aspettare ancora un po prima che possa funzionare all 100% in Italia. L'audio al contrario delle radio tradizionali viene trasmesso dalla parte sottostante. Radio funziona alla perfezione ed abbiamo diverse funzioni a disposizione, tra cui la mia preferita è l'allarme che utilizzo spesso per non dimenticare di spegnere la pasta. Sul dispositivo viene presentato anche il nome dell'artista ed il titolo della canzone che viene trasmessa al momento. Davvero un ottimo dispsitivo da avere in ogni cucina per rallegrare ogni momento.

I'm not a great cook, but with the respect and rhythm of music I can work miracles :-) Maybe because I love music and love can move mountains? I was looking for a small radio that doesn't have to be placed on the top, but hangs under one of the wall units. I think it's a great idea to save space and have the radio close at hand in every sense of the word. The product arrives with dowels to secure it and the user manual in English and German, but the use itself is truly intuitive. The antenna is built-in. I chose white because it matches perfectly with my cabinets. The radio is lightweight and mounts easily. Once turned on, the screen lights up blue and is easy to read. when you first turn it on you have to search for the radio stations and here we have the possibility of finding them on 2 frequencies: FM, which is now going out of fashion and DAB+, the crazy new thing - the digital frequency, which guarantees that the channels are found by themselves, without having to set them every time and the quality of the audio transmission is better, but we have to wait a little longer before it can work 100% in Italy. Unlike traditional radios, the audio is transmitted from the bottom. Radio works perfectly and we have various functions available, among which my favorite is the alarm which I often use so as not to forget to turn off the pasta. The device also displays the name of the artist and the title of the song currently being played. Truly an excellent device to have in every kitchen to brighten up every moment.

Stiamo parlando di una radio installabile sotto i pensili della cucina o in qualsiasi altro ambiente che permette di ascoltare sia la radio FM sia la nuova tecnologia in DAB+. Questa nuova tecnologia permette di ascoltare la radio in digitale con una qualità audio veramente pazzesca, senza fruscii o disturbi vari. L'unico problema è che è ancora poco diffusa nella nostra penisola e poche emittenti trasmettono con queste frequenze. Ad ogni modo oltre che la funzione radio è possibile settare due timer, essendo destinato ad un uno in cucina può fare comodo impostare un timer per la cottura in forno per esempio. La confezione si presenta completa di antenna FM e di viti e fish per il fissaggio sia a legno che direttamente in parete. Lo speaker si trova nella parte inferiore del dispositivo quindi non va coperto, infatti per un uso su superfici piane, potete usare la linguetta che solleverà la radio per non coprire, appunto, lo speaker. La qualità audio emessa dallo speaker integrato non è decisamente di altissima qualità ma per l'uso a cui viene destinata è più che sufficiente. Unica pecca, manca la possibilità di un'uscita audio per portare il segnale audio ad altri dispositvi, magari per usarlo con altre casse.

We are talking about a radio that can be installed under the kitchen cabinets or in any other environment that allows you to listen to both FM radio and the new DAB+ technology. This new technology allows you to listen to digital radio with truly incredible audio quality, without hiss or various noises. The only problem is that it is still not widespread in our peninsula and few broadcasters broadcast with these frequencies. In any case, in addition to the radio function, it is possible to set two timers, since it is intended for one in the kitchen it can be convenient to set a timer for cooking in the oven for example. The package comes complete with FM antenna and screws and fish for fixing both to wood and directly to the wall. The speaker is located in the lower part of the device so it should not be covered, in fact for use on flat surfaces, you can use the tab that will lift the radio so as not to cover the speaker. The audio quality emitted by the integrated speaker is definitely not of the highest quality but for the use for which it is intended it is more than sufficient. The only flaw is that it lacks the possibility of an audio output to bring the audio signal to other devices, perhaps to use it with other speakers.

Il futuro della radio non è in FM ma nella nuova tecnologia denominata DAB+ e questo prodotto lo sa bene, poiché oltre ad includere la ormai preistorica FM include questo nuovo standard di trasmissione totalmente digitale che porta innumerevoli vantaggi: niente più frequenze da ricordare, sintonizzazione semplice e soprattutto qualità audio perfetta senza fastidiosi fruscii tipici delle radio. Gli svantaggi? Al momento in Italia è ancora in fase sperimentale. CONFEZIONE E’ una scatolina ben rifinita con dentro la nostra radio e: - Tasselli per fissaggio nel sotto pensile - Manuale rapido inglese e tedesco - Antenna per FM COSTRUZIONE Possiamo definirla come una semplice radio, con display LCD retroilluminato molto luminoso e con la parte superiore che va fissata nel sotto pensile con le viti autofilettanti fornite in dotazione. Non è obbligatorio farlo, in quanto la radio (purtroppo solo mono) nella parte bassa presenta un rialzo per usarla anche come radio da tavola. I pulsanti presenti sono tanti, ma sono banali e semplicissimi da usare. FUNZIONAMENTO Perfetto in FM con audio tutto sommato buono per questo genere di radio, scarsa ricezione invece in DAB+, ma questo potrebbe dipendere dalla zona in cui vivo, probabilmente al sud italia la radio in digitale non è ancora così ben voluta e la copertura pecca un po’…

The future of radio is not in FM but in the new technology called DAB+ and this product knows it well, since in addition to including the now prehistoric FM it includes this new totally digital transmission standard which brings countless advantages: no more frequencies to remember, simple tuning and above all perfect audio quality without annoying hiss typical of radios. The disadvantages? At the moment in Italy it is still in the experimental phase. PACKAGING It is a well-finished little box with our radio inside and: - Plugs for fixing in the under cabinet - Quick English and German manual - FM antenna CONSTRUCTION We can define it as a simple radio, with a very bright backlit LCD display and with the upper part which must be fixed to the under cabinet with the self-tapping screws supplied. It is not mandatory to do so, as the radio (unfortunately only mono) has a rise in the lower part to also use it as a table radio. There are many buttons, but they are banal and very simple to use. OPERATION Perfect in FM with overall good audio for this type of radio, poor reception however in DAB+, but this could depend on the area in which I live, probably in southern Italy digital radio is not yet so popular and the coverage is lacking a bit'…
