Description:
The Grundig 960 Classic 50th Anniversary model blends a functional AM/FM shortwave radio with the quality design of Grundig's 1950s-era box radio. Replicating the original wood construction with brass accents, the 960 provides rich, warm sound through its three-speaker cabinet. Also included is a very contemporary external audio input, which supplies the option of connecting a TV, CD player, or VCR. This solid retro unit has an attractive cloth-covered speaker and sturdy manual volume and tuning knobs. Tuning initially requires developing something of a feel; we found that it was easy to spin past our preferred frequency at first. But with a little practice, we began to feel quite expert, and we were soon tuning in very clear FM, medium-wave, and shortwave signals, both foreign and domestic. Since there are only a few controls, setup is easy, allowing plenty of time to sit back and listen. Two 3-inch side speakers and one 4-inch front speaker with 3-watt power output produce a clean, crisp sound. Grundig's instruction book is designed to look like the original, but its text is thoroughly contemporary. As an attractive conversation piece or an opportunity to discover shortwave radio, the Grundig 960 Classic is a real turn-on. The unit comes with a one-year warranty on parts and labor. --David Greenberger Pros: - Great radio reception
- Classic styling
- Auxiliary input for CD, TV, and VCR
- Shortwave fun for the neophyte
Cons: - Constructed of wood-based particle, not solid wood
- Precise tuning takes some practice
