Making up this Christmas wish list are nine products plucked from the company’s range of DAB radios.  All the various models in this roundup provide the dual functionality of DAB and FM reception with many offering additional features to tempt different types of user.  In a couple of cases, with the EVOKE Mio and EVOKE-1S, there are two different versions of the model available.  Lets start with the EVOKE Mio which is available as the Teal model or one featuring the Orla Kiely Abacus Flower print embellishment. 

Designed to brighten up the kitchen, the Teal model is available in five two-tone colour schemes (teal, lava, grape, cherry and noir).  With an auto-dimming OLED display, this Mio features a timer button and alarm.  An input socket allows you to attach an iPod or MP3 player and there is an optional ChargePAK E1 battery pack.  Built into this device is a textSCAN feature which allows you to pause and control the scrolling text from participating broadcasters.  Up to 30 presets can be created for DAB or FM stations.  The recommended price for this model is £129.99.

For those looking for a more striking appearance there is the EVOKE Mio with Orla Kiely’s signature stem print.  This model comes in slate grey with a mirror chromed folding handle, walnut veneered cabinet and cream fascia. Currently an exclusive from Orla Kiely and John Lewis, this EVOKE Mio has a £149.99 price tag.

The next product is aimed at new parents.  This is the Twilight which adds lighting and lullabies to the DAB/FM standard mixture.  Making use of six LED lights, this model can produce a range of lighting options such as nightlight, dawn simulation and reading lamp.  The LED lights use 5.4W compared to the 45W of an incandescent bulb.  Various built-in lullabies and ambient effects can be played to create a relaxing atmosphere.  There are also four independent alarm settings using tone, DAB, FM or natural sound wake-up calls.  iPod/MP3, and headphone connections plus 30 station presets are also included in a unit costing £139.99.
