PURE Sensia, the world’s first high resolution DAB+ digital and internet-connected radio with a unique, large colour touch-screen, has been awarded Digital Radio of the Year 09/10 by Sound & Image magazine.
Distributed in Australia by Pioneer Electronics, the excitement and anticipation for Sensia prior to its Australian release has been incredible, with retail stock of the Sensia ($749) expected to hit retail shelves in November 09.
Wowing the editorial team at Sound & Image magazine, the title’s leading journalist, Jez Ford, had the following to say about Sensia:
"While Pure has brought a huge range of perfectly-proportioned digital radios to Australia, we had to bow down before the absolute technicolour wonder of the Pure Sensia, with its streaming and radio abilities and thrillingly large touch screen interface ."
Sure to be on top of many Christmas lists this year, Sensia gives users a unique way of interacting with radio and internet content including: podcasts and listen again services; DAB+ and FM; a growing set of custom PURE ‘Apps’ such as weather, news, Picasa, Facebook or Twitter; and new broadcast material such as station slideshows that will be supported in both DAB+ Slideshow and IP (Radio VIS) slideshow formats.
Sensia will also stream media, enabling users to listen to music stored on a home computer or network storage device via Wi-Fi technology.
Oozing style, the PURE Sensia features a sophisticated touch-screen interface, which allows users to view and interact with the radio like never before. Touch-screen features include scrolling and spinning program lists, touching to select, sliding controls and swiping to change views.
Users can choose between a multi-panel and a full screen view. The screen consists of a visual panel for viewing Apps, station slideshows or album artwork; a list panel for scrolling through lists of radio stations or music stored on a PC; a now playing panel and a control bar for operating Sensia. Sensia is destined to be the centre piece of any room with a distinctive, elliptical shape and four striking colour choices: Bright red, vivid yellow, sleek black and cool white.
An adjustable base allows the user to angle the radio to an optimum viewing position and a matching remote control completes the look.
