Our mission is to make complex audio devices and technologies so simple, easy and intuitive that everyone can enjoy listening to their daily audio dose with our devices. Pure pioneered DAB radios in the digital radio industry more than 20 years ago and has built a reputation for timeless, beautiful design, high quality and great sounding audio. And if that was not enough, the signal can transmit additional information such as artist, song title, album cover and even videos. 80% less energy consumption for improved signal reception is another advantage. Stereo reproduction appeared to be accurate on FM, DAB and with Bluetooth, even though the radio has a single speaker. Not all DAB radio stations are broadcast in stereo and this would explain why some stations are still in mono when using headphones. The Pure Elan E3 portable DAB+/FM radio isn’t the most complex or advanced digital radio in the Pure portfolio – but it’s an excellent choice for someone in search of simplicity and versatility.
