Your music Your life Your love
A famous european philosopher once wrote “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Here at Scansonic, we couldn’t agree more. But we’d like to put a spin of our own on this oh-so-true observation. For us, the thought of not having great audio products would be even more of a mistake! Our Scansonic range of highquality radios, loudspeakers, and accessories are all designed with one purpose in mind: faithful reproduction of the music you like to listen to most. It’s about hearing the music in the same way as its creator intended it to be heard. With a balance, clarity, and richness that makes you look forward to hearing it again and again. Or maybe even hearing something completely new.
So the more you listen, the more you like. And rightfully so. But we want to do more. So we’ve added attractive styling to the appealing sound. After all, aren’t greatsounding and great-looking radios and speakers better than boring, boxy audio components? This is also why we’ve made certain to offer a number of colour selections in our offerings to you. Different colours to suit different tastes, just like in different music. The world would indeed be uninspiring in monochrome. This brochure features a selection of our table-top radios and amplifier solutions. We trust you will find something to suit you. And remember, should you fall in love with two products and can’t decide, take them both!

R2 FM radio In today’s busy world, it’s nice to know that some things remain the same. Like the pleasure we get from a product which meets our most basic needs. The R2 FM radio from Scansonic is exactly one of them. It was created from the simplest starting point: a single source of sound. This analogue FM radio has easy operation, great sound reproduction, and a solid construction as its core elements. Nothing more, nothing less.
Tune it in manually using the robust, centrally-placed dial, and enjoy. The high-quality FM tuner found in the cabinet features the most modern technologies, ensuring crystal clear reception of your favourite radio stations.
Read more about the R2’s sound on the following pages. Additional connections include auxiliary line-in (for an MP3-player), and a stereo line-out, which can be used for headphones or external loudspeakers.
On top of the Scansonic R2 is a single, mono loudspeaker unit. Although relatively small in physical size, it has been built to deliver a sonic performance that is as memorable as the music itself. 5
Sounding great, all the time R2 FM radio
Quite literally at the centre of the R2’s solid cabinet is the loudspeaker unit. Built with natural sound reproduction in mind, it fills the room with sound with ease. The 3.5” up-firing loudspeaker provides a full range of sonic reproduction. The sound image is warm and rich, never stinging and shrill. Because unless you’re a teenager who absolutely has to play music at the highest volume possible, you’ll appreciate the R2’s ability to play thoroughly, even at low volumes.

The solid MDF-cabinet features an open, bass-reflex construction. By adding the bass port, we’re able to extend the frequency range lower than a similar, closed-cabinet construction. Simply put, it gives you more bass, rounding off your listening experience. At the other end of the frequency range, treble reproduction occurs faithfully, providing sharp details that lighten up the entire soundscape. Pop in a pair of headphones and enjoy listening in full stereo. So don’t forget: the music is there, and so is your R2, sounding great all the time.

R3: more of this, more of that R3 DAB+/FM radio
Can you really continue to improve on quality? Absolutely. The new R3 tabletop radio is a fine example of just that. One of the most striking technological advancements found in the R3 is the DAB+ tuner. Built alongside the FM tuner, the DAB+ tuner adds to all you already love about DAB.
And your new Scansonic R3 radio brings them home to you. Want better sound quality? More stations to choose from? And scrolling texts, more information on the song and the radio station? Then you’ve found the right solution.
The large, four-line OLED display is your information centre. Enjoy all the info whilst knowing that broadcasts sent in both the DAB III and L bands are still right at your fingertips. Backwards compatibility ensures it. Engage the alarm function, and be woken by your choice of audio source. That’s making quality better. 9
DAB+ Digital audio is now compressed more efficiently, improving the DAB standard for everyone. Broadcasters can potentially lower transmission costs, more stations can be created on the bandwidth, which in turn increases the choices available to the listeners and improves the listening experience.
10
Omnidirectional sound The single loudspeaker unit, located atop the solid cabinet, offers true-to-life sound reproduction. Up-firing, it offers omnidirectional sound, spreading its stunningly accurate tones throughout the room it’s located in. Listen closely for rich details from sharp treble accents to rumbling, low bass elements.
OLED display This multiple-line display goes into action when a thin film of organic compounds is charged by an electric current. It emits light, engaging us, inviting us to step closer, and see what is going on. Adjustment possibilities allow you to reduce the brightness with ease, avoiding unpleasant, excessively strong lights.
Alarm “Wake up slow”, recommends a popular singer in a jazzy ballad. And that’s precisely what you can do with the alarm function in the R3 radio. Set it to your desired time - even if it’s really early - and let the radio do the rest. Choose between a specialty station on DAB+ or your local favourite on FM.
Operation Engage the single, robust dial during operation. Just follow along on the display, and use the simple buttons to make your preferred selections. Use the autotune function for DAB+ broadcasts as well as when making the switch to traditional FM radio reception. Straight forward thinking makes it all even easier.

R5 CD/FM radio In today’s fast-paced world, it’s great to find something that gets right to the point. No jumble of bells and whistles, no buzzwords like apps or features you don’t wish to use just because they’re there.
The R5 tabletop radio sails through the oceans of options within audio entertainment, loading its hold with a cargo of two classic sources: FM radio and a CD player. Tune in and listen to your favourite station, and enjoy it on the powerful up-firing speaker. The full-range speaker performs strongly, creating a rich soundscape of music.
Or make the switch to your newest CD, which you easily slid into the built-in CD-player. Hit the buttons featuring the well-known operational symbols, and your music comes to life. Set an alarm for the morning, and be woken by the radio, CD player, or buzzer. Everything else is fine where it is. 15

P2500 FM radio Why be tied down by an electrical cord, when you can set yourself - and your music - free? The P2500 portable FM radio is a modern take on the classic, portable radio of years past. Elements from classic transistor radios appear prominently, including the large, easy-to-operate tuning dial at the top. Spin it in either direction, and imagine how previous generations enjoyed the same feeling of satisfaction when hearing another great tune. It’s as simple as that. But the P2500 is more than just old-school styling. On the inside, it’s packed with the newest technologies, including a modern FM tuner, powerful loudspeaker unit, and an intelligent battery and charger unit in one. When plugged in, the built-in battery is automatically charged, enabling numerous hours of listening pleasure when you take your radio with you to the beach, the workshop, or the garden. Place it where you like, and stay connected all over. The cabinet itself features a special soft-touch coating, giving it a warm and organic feel. Created by applying a gentle layer of rubber, the coating invites you to touch it, and provides tactile feedback not found in other portable radios. Grab a hold of one (or more) in your choice of six different colours: red, white, black, blue, orange, and purple.

Plenty to choose from
P3500 P3500 P3500 DAB+/FM radio At Scansonic, we like to challenge conventions. Like the one that says “You can’t take it with you.” We, however, believe that you can. Especially when it comes to radios. The new P3500 DAB+/FM radio allows you to bring two music sources with loads of options with you from place to place. 18
The built-in DAB+ tuner leads the way, proving that there’s no stopping great technology. As in the Scansonic R3 tabletop radio, this improved digital broadcasting format celebrates the progress that has been made: better compression, a greater variety, and perhaps most critically, better sound. And now, it’s as mobile as you are.
Standing tall, its sleek lines draw as much attention as the high-quality sound that emanates from within. Enjoy the information on the frequency, station name and more on the large display. Switch quickly and easily to the FM tuner, and the display reflects it as well.

Say hello to our little friend, 20
Minimate HiFi amplifier It was once said that if you only equate greatness with pure physical size, you’ll be in for some major surprises in life. Take the Scansonic Minimate sound solution, for example. Sure, it is only a few centimetres high, and a few centimetres wide, but it offers performance enhancements that outshine similar solutions twice its size.
This amplifier and loudspeaker combination enables you to share your music without compromising sound quality. Connect your iPod or iPhone, for example, and hear how much of a difference high-quality audio components can make. The stereo amplifier adds pure power to your digital music, playing it back through a pair of
Scansonic S4 loudspeakers. Sounds good, is good. Or maybe it’s your computer, loaded with music, that deserves an additional boost from our little friend. Simply connect them, and let it all hang out. From music to audio from video clips, films, or even games, the Minimate brings new meaning to great things coming from small packages. 21
