Product Factsheet (PDF)

From the world's leading manufacturer of DAB digital radios comes Élan, a modern radio for everyone to enjoy. Élan offers all the DAB features you would expect from PURE, including fast autotune, station selection by name, and scrolling text showing track and artist information, news and sports updates. We've also added 5 presets for storing and recalling your favourite radio stations, a clock display and even a sleep timer.

DAB digital broadcasting provides crystal clear interference-free audio. Add PURE's hi-fi design expertise, full-range stereo speakers and twin bass reflex ports and you can be sure that this compact radio will sound great, whatever your choice of listening.

With a contemporary look and premium build quality, Élan looks great around the home and its superior battery performance (30 Hours DAB) means you've more freedom to roam with stereo digital quality sound than ever before.

All The Benefits of DAB
The DAB transmission standard provides high-quality, interference-free digital audio without the hiss, crackle and fade of analogue broadcasts. Locate all available DAB stations quickly and easily using the autotune feature and then select them by name. List stations alphabetically or by most listened to. Scrolling text shows additional data such as song titles, artists' names, programme descriptions, news headlines and more.

Wide Variety And Choice Of Stations
Up to twice as many stations are available in many areas as via FM. UK stations broadcast digitally include national BBC Radios 1-4, BBC Radio 5 Live, Classic FM, talkSPORT and Virgin Radio, plus local and unique-to-digital stations such as BBC7, BBC 6Music, Oneword and Life.

Superior Sound Quality
Digital sound quality delivered via stereo speakers with full range 3" drive units in an acoustically optimised casing with dual bass reflex ports for richer, more natural reproduction of low frequencies.

Automatically Set Clock
Clock is automatically updated from a broadcast DAB time signal, so you don’t have to set it or worry about resetting it when the clocks go forward or back.

Display
Easy-to-read, backlit display shows station name, scrolling text and programme information as well as the volume level, time, sleep timer setting, battery life and more.

Sleep Timer
Handy sleep timer means you can drift off to the sound of your favourite night time station in crystal-clear digital stereo sound. Choose from five easy-to-set options: 15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes.

Presets and Station Lists
Five presets make it easy to find your favourite stations, while the DAB station list feature means you’ll never have to remember a frequency again. Just look for the name of the station you’re interested in and select it from the list. It’s so easy to select stations that you may even find that you start to use radio differently, browsing to new programmes on stations you’ve never visited before.

'Grade A' Factory Reburbished Stock: What is a refurbished item?
In general terms, refurbished could also be referred to as remarketed, equivalent to new, or remanufactured.

The name 'refurbished' is something of a misnomer. An item being classed as 'refurbished' does not mean it's second hand or used. Typically they are products that have been returned to the manufacturer by customers, for any number of reasons (see below), and then tested at the factory to make sure they're in tip-top shape. Defective or damaged parts will be replaced. Apple, Netgear, D-Link, HP, Gateway, in fact, all of the top manufacturers refurbish items and then resell them at much cheaper prices!

Refurbished products can originate from a variety of sources, including:

  • Customer returns and cancelled orders - Fully-functional products that leave the manufacturers warehouse and therefore can no longer be sold as new.
  • Items where the box or casing was damaged in shipment which are returned to the manufacturer.
  • The item was returned to the manufacturer because of a slight defect. The part that was defective was replaced by the manufacturer, tested and then repackaged just like new.
  • Demonstration and trial equipment - Products have been provided to customers for demonstration purposes.
  • Factory or reseller overstocks - Items that are returned by the seller to make room for newer product lines.
  • Factory loaner equipment - Products that have been used for purposes such as trade shows, customer events, or solution centers and have been returned to the manufactuer.
  • Trade-in programs - Products customers have returned to the manufacturer in order to upgrade to new technology.

It is impossible to know the history of each item, but for whatever reason the unit gets labeled as 'factory refurbished' it is inspected and serviced by the manufacturer then tested and repackaged to meet original product specifications.

Why should I buy refurbished equipment?
In short - refurbs save cash!

Why hesitate getting the best value by getting the exact same equipment, with original manufacturers warranty at a much lower price?

If you couldn't previously afford that expensive item you really want, NOW you can with a factory refurb!

- You still get the same performance and warranty
- Refurbished items have a much lower defect rate

The bottom line is, all the benefits of buying a refurbished product are the same as a new one, even the warranty! So, think again, are you shopping smart?

Good product poorly handled
This is an excellent product sadly let down by the missing power supply. From these various reviews SVP have been aware of this problem for some months now but it is still unresolved. My radio arrived without a power supply. It just adds to the irritation when the ticket reporting the problem is closed when SVP Sales email to say sorry we’ll send one on to you; not when they have despatched it. My second attempt to get a power supply was completely ignored; presumably it contained the closed ticket reference. Third attempt eventually resulted in a power supply arriving in the post. SVP you do yourselves not credit by allowing these problems to continue.
My rating SVP response; 5/10 the radio 8/10.

Nice little radio
I think it unfair that this is getting some 1/10 ratings.

Like many others here, I received one without a power supply, however I contacted SVP and they have promised to send one in the post.

The radio tuned easily all the local stations. Sounds great for its size, actually look and feels very good. Excellent display and nice to have the option to use it as a portable.

Considering this is half the price of most entry level DAB radios, it is excellent value for money.

Power Supply arrived...
I have received the power supply this morning - radio works much better with it!
The radio sounds great, build quality is superb as you would expect from Pure, and you wouldn't know it wasn't brand new. A bargain for £20 !
Thanks for the rapid response SVP.
(Strange thing was that the PSU came from Big Pockets in Lye, also home of Boffer...proof they are indeed all one company?)

Guess what? Power Supply missing...
Despite assurances below that 'the next radios will be complete', mine has arrived today with no power supply. I'm surprised that svp didn't bother to check the contents, given that this problem has been ongoing. I've already emailed sales and await a reply...
Incidentally, I've given it 5/10 as it looks great, even though I can't hear it!!!

Pure Dab Radio
Received yesterday without power supply. So put batteries in the radio to test it and only one of the twin speakers work. Have contacted SVP for a replacement. Hopefully that will work!

Still Power Supply
Despite the SVP note saying "we seem to have had a batch with no power supplies. The next radios will be complete", this isn't so. The radio arrived without one. The box was not sealed so it would only taken a few second to check prior to sending this out and causing inconvenience. Really poor customer service.

*** SVP Note ***
Please contact sales@svp.co.uk and we will try and arrange for a powersupply to be sent to you or a full refund.

Best buy of the week!
Ok, this is the first DAB I've bought as I'm not a big listener of radio - I actually got this for our puppy! She loves Radio 4 :-)

Anyway - I'm impressed with the reception anf the features are great for a shade over 20 quid. Scrolling info (song titles, news etc), station titles (of course), signal strength indicator - decent volume and doesn't distort.

I was expecting the unit to be made of cheap plastic to be fair, but its good quality metal effect. Also has FM which may be useful.

I'll be pinching this from the puppy on matchdays and for Planet Rock!

Oh - its as good as a new one and I got a PSU too - cheers SVP!!!!

lACK OF ADAPTER X2!
I ordered one and no adapter and I couldn't get it to work with batteries. I contacted SVP who I have always found to be excellent and true to their word a replacement appeared and they asked me to freepost the other back (still have it). The second one didn't have a power lead either and my batteries won't get it to work!
There is obviously a problem with the supplier not putting in a power lead!!!!!!!!!!

*** SVP Note ***
We are checking with our suppliers about this problem as we seem to have had a batch with no power supplies. The next radios will be complete.

No PSU
No power supply with mine either. Given the
delivery problems, I'll see if I've got a spare
PSU before seeking a replacement.

PSU aside, it's still good value though.
