auna radios: a perfect mix of tradition and innovation

Kitchen, living room, bedroom, even bathroom: a radio can keep you company everywhere, while you are doing chores, preparing food or simply relaxing on the sofa after a long day of work. For many, a portable pocket radio is an old-fashioned object that evokes a nostalgic past when televisions and computers still did not exist in our homes. Still, with the advent of the internet and the digitalization of transmissions we are witnessing a return to the limelight of portable radios, loved and widely used by our grandparents and parents. Times have changed, no doubt, and all state-of-the-art digital radios necessarily offer new features, from digital tuning to Bluetooth and wi-fi connectivity, so that they can be used as simple speakers to stream music from our smartphones or PCs.

Thanks to the new possibilities opened by the digitalization of the terrestrial signal, when listening to the radio we can now enjoy a crystal-clear sound quality comparable to a CD, and easily tune tour radio in a few seconds on many stations. Not to mention the radio devices equipped with a direct internet connection, bringing the radio signal broadcasted through the web from the four corners of the globe straight into our rooms.

On auna you can find a wide range of radios designed to fully satisfy the needs of the modern radio listener. From our under-cabinet radios specially designed to make intelligent use of the space under your kitchen furniture to our DAB, DAB+ and internet radios, CD players, tape recorders and vintage radios suitable for the most nostalgic user, our products combine absolute perfection in the reception of different types of signals with a stylish and attractive design.

Portable radio: a small concentration of technology

A digital portable radio is the evolution of traditional analogue portable radios and generally includes new features, such as digital tuning and the possibility to preset your favourite stations. This way, you’ll no longer have to waste time finding your favourite station, and even the reception of the channel will be much more precise.

A modern portable radio often also integrates clock radio functions, in some cases, it acts as a weather station and can also be used as a simple speaker, thanks to various digital ports, such as USB, SD card reader or Bluetooth wireless technology, just to name a few: in this way, with a modern small radio you can stream your favourite music content, or play your MP3s with extreme ease.

Other important advantages of a next-generation portable radio, compared to traditional analogue models, are enhanced sound quality and reduced weight and consumption, thanks to the use of integrated circuits. Digital electronics are extremely versatile and make it possible to manage systems with a high capacity of reception stations and a wide range of functions.

The design of digital portable radios includes a wide variety of models, which in some cases wink at the past, inspired by the radios our grandparents used. Of course, there are also models with a more modern, futuristic designs, such as cubes for example.

Other portable dab radios offer a wide range of games for the younger generation and include powerful subwoofer-style speakers designed to take music anywhere with the ability to connect to other devices such as microphones, music storage devices or smartphones.

Radio DAB+: what is it?

The greatest revolution in the world of radio in recent years coincides with the transition to digital encoding of radio signals. The DAB+ system (an acronym for Digital Audio Broadcasting) has revolutionized the panorama of radio broadcasting throughout Europe, making it possible to solve the classic problem of overlapping frequencies and to achieve unprecedented, clean and crystal clear sound quality, comparable to that of a CD.

Not only did new digital transmission protocols make it possible to eliminate the annoying rustling caused by analogue radio interference: with the adoption of new protocols for data transfer, a DAB digital radio becomes a multimedia device capable of receiving audio but also accessory contents, such as the name of the station you are listening to, the title of the track and the music genre, and even short news.

Among the auna DAB radios you will find models with a modern and attractive design, but also radios with a vintage touch for the retro style fans: each DAB radio you can find in our shop features analogue tuning in traditional FM mode, and is equipped with Bluetooth and WLAN connectivity, to ensure maximum flexibility of use by relying on the home internet network or by receiving and sending the signal to other devices.

Tune in to the world with our web radios

Once switched on and connected to the home router, therefore, they allow access to a practically endless list of radio stations from all over the world, with a reproduction quality that is always high, depending on the compression protocol adopted by the radio station.
