It’s all about the rock‘n’roll with new PURE radio.

For the ultimate DAB+/FM radio that really rocks in both performance and looks, PURE, the world-leading radio maker, releases the EVOKE-1S Marshall (RRP $269). The EVOKE-1S Marshall combines the award-winning quality of PURE’s EVOKE-1S radio with the legendary, unique styling of Marshall Amplification.

The ideal Christmas present for rock’n’rollers, the Evoke-1S Marshall comes equipped with digital/FM radio, OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display that is clear from any angle; a light sensor which automatically adjusts display brightness; more station presets (30 digital radio or FM); an auxiliary input to connect an iPod or MP3 player; and FM with RDS for maximum station choice.

textSCAN™ and Intellitext® have also been added so that scrolling text can be paused and controlled as well as stored for browsing at a later date. What’s more, there is also a USB input so users can add new features as they become available.

The EVOKE-1S Marshall is wrapped in black vinyl, just like a Marshall amplifier, with solid wood construction, brass-effect control panel and a black metallic speaker grille. The fierce yellow on black display features adjustable brightness and just like its predecessor, the volume dial goes up to 11!

For maximum sound quality the EVOKE-1S Marshall has an integrated full range hi-fi speaker and features a bass reflex port for enhanced bass performance alongside a custom designed 3" drive unit and active-filters to provide a natural ‘direct-from-the-studio’ sound. The optional, matching S-1 standalone speaker enables stereo output and even richer, deeper bass.

For rocking-out on the go (up to 24 hours between charges), the EVOKE-1S Marshall is ChargePAK compatible, avoiding the ongoing cost of having to purchase disposable batteries.

“With its long-standing music heritage, the EVOKE-1S Marshall mixes the legendary style of the world’s leading guitar amplifiers and PURE’s iconic EVOKE-1S digital radio,” says Graeme Redman, Managing Director of PURE Australasia Pty Ltd.

“We’re excited to bring the Marshall brand to this fast growing segment of consumer electronics. Working with PURE we’ve created a digital radio that brings iconic Marshall design to an equally iconic radio that all listeners can embrace as a stylish statement of their love for music,” says Paul Marshall of Marshall Amplification.
