  • This radio from Sangean is on the market for about 10 years now but it is still one of the best sounding and looking tabletop radios in my opinion. No buttons to push, no menu to scroll through: just enjoy pure analog pleasure and mindblowing sound from this small but powerful box!

    The challenge would be to find station music fitting for such a beautiful radio.

    The tuning is actually digital. It's just been given an analogue appearance. However it is still a very good radio.

    • @stevec5000
      @stevec5000 Před rokem +3

      Since it drifts so much I don't think the tuning is digital.

    I like that it has bass and treble adjustments. You don’t see illuminated tuning much any more. It has a nice long slide rule tuner: not bunched up like other radios. Reminds me of the old console radios. The WR-12 is my favorite of the Sangean table top radios.

    Hello Dirk,
    I like the philosophy of this device....It doesn't offer tons of features, but it seems to do what it does remarkably well..
    Thanks for sharing, have a good evening.

      I think you are right, it is hard to find a real non digital radio these days - maybe this video helps: czcams.com/video/t1thDa4zeog/video.html

      Yes, definitely a digital tuner, but that's what everything is these days. Can't beat true analog tuning.

    @stevec5000 Před rokem +1

    This radio drifts like crazy! If they have been making it for 10 years you would think they could have figured out how to add AFC to it by now! The sound is a bit muffled which is odd considering how many big speakers it has but at least the AM reception is good.

    Hello Dirk,
    I have a question, how big is the difference is in between DDR-47BT and WR-12BT from sound perspective and FM signal reception.
    Any Pros & Cons that favors one over the other (excepting the price)?
    Thanks in advance!

      I'm wondering the same. Some reviews I have read says the BT version of the WR-12 (WR-12B) has drifting issues on the FM tuner.

    Will the Sangean WR-12 work with a smart plug? I like my radio to turn on early in the morning, shutting off automatically after 2 hours, then turn on again the evenings during weekdays, and different times on the weekends.

      It is a track called "Blue Mood" by Robert Munzinger, you can see this information it you max out the details of my video. You can find the full track and a lot more music in the CZcams Audio Libary!

  • @subramoniams9850
    @subramoniams9850 Před rokem

    I am thinking of this radio. How large is the dial (length) ? How is the reception on FM - selectivity and sensitivity and adjacent station interference? How about AM reception?
    Is the design pure analog or DSP based tuning?
