Tivoli

Our take on the Tivoli Audio Model One

by Ralph Graves

Remarkably clear sound
Tivoli designed the Model One to be one thing: the best AM/FM table radio you've ever heard. The super-sensitive tuner pulls in stations that elude other radios, and a special frequency-contouring circuit continually adjusts audio output, maintaining detailed sound even with a weak signal. The single 3-inch long-throw speaker delivers warm, yet clear mono sound in an expansive sound field, even when you turn up the volume.

Fine cabinet design
The Model One features a hand-crafted wooden case with a layered finish, similar to that of fine furniture. It also functions as an inert speaker cabinet, so you only get the sound of the speaker with no sonic colorations from the case. A passive port reinforces bass and mid/bass sounds.

Just the controls you need
Controls for the Model One are few and easy to operate — volume, AM/FM, and tuning.

Controls for the Model One's controls are stripped down to the essentials: volume, AM/FM, and tuning. That large analog tuning dial is there for a reason. Many digital tuners have a hard time bringing in stations that aren't exactly on the frequency. This is especially true of distant stations, because the signal can drift slightly as it moves through the atmosphere. The Model One's 5-to-1 ratio dial lets you "fine tune" the reception. An LED light changes intensity as you tune, letting you know when the signal strength is strongest. If you can't find anything on the airwaves you like, you can use the input in back to plug in your MP3 player.

Highlights:

  • mono AM/FM radio
  • built-in AM and FM antennas
  • high-performance 3" long-throw driver
  • ported cabinet for enhanced bass
  • 5-to-1 ratio analog tuning dial for accurate tuning
  • furniture-grade hand-crafted wood cabinet
  • minijack audio input for connecting an external source like an MP3 player
  • line level output for recording
  • minijack headphone output
  • AC power adapter
  • 8-3/8"W x 4-1/2"H x 5-1/4"D

    Radio Functions

    AM/FM Tuner: The Tivoli Audio Model One is equipped with a Henry Kloss analog AM/FM tuner for precise radio station tuning.

    5:1 Analog Tuning Dial: To take full advantage of the AM/FM tuner's high sensitivity and selectivity, the Model One uses a precise analog tuning system with a geared-down 5:1 ratio analog tuning dial for accurate, easy selection of the maximum number of stations. The 5:1 tuning gear ratio provides easy, accurate tuning.

    AM/FM Antennas: The tabletop radio's internal FM and AM antennas provide good reception in most applications. Locating the Tivoli Audio Model One near a window will provide better reception. The unit is also equipped with external AM/FM antenna connections and comes with an external FM wire antenna.

    • Internal/External FM Antenna: An alternative to the tabletop radio's built-in FM antenna, is the supplied indoor external FM wire antenna or optional FM dipole antenna (sold separately). Also, connecting your cable television 75-ohm coaxial cable to the radio's external FM connection may provide clearer local FM reception; although you must usually request activation of this service through your cable company.
    • Internal/External AM Antenna: When listening to AM, rotate the Model One itself to align the internal AM antenna for improved reception. There is a 3.5mm external AM antenna input for connecting an optional AM antenna (sold separately) to achieve even better AM reception. 

    Note: An optional outdoor AM/FM antenna will provide the best possible reception.

    Tuning Indicator: The Tivoli Audio Model One features a front-panel LED tuning indicator. The LED tuning indicator  illuminates amber and is brightest when the best tuning has been achieved.

    Note: Some listenable AM stations will not light the tuning indicator and should be tuned by ear for the clearest signal.

    Source Knob: The Model One tabletop radio is equipped with a 4-position source knob - AM, FM, Aux, and Off.

    Audio Features

    Wood Cabinet: The Tivoli Audio Model One features a furniture-grade, handmade, real-wood cabinet that is both beautiful and acoustically inert.

    Full-Range Driver: The Tivoli Audio Model One features a single 3.0" heavy-magnet, long-throw full-range driver for great AM/FM sound.

    Frequency Contouring Circuit: The Model One's 3.0" full-range driver is mated to a frequency contouring circuit that automatically adjusts output over half-octave increments, resulting in musically accurate tonal balance and bass response.

    Down-Firing Port: The Model One features a down-firing port for added efficiency and bass-response.

    Volume Knob: The Tivoli Audio Model One features a rotary volume control knob which operates the volume level for the unit's mono speaker and headphone output.

    Audio Connections: The Model One AM/FM radio is equipped with the following rear-panel audio inputs and outputs.

    • Auxiliary Input: The Tivoli Audio Model One features a 3.5mm auxiliary input for connecting an external device (such as your CD player or MP3 player), so you can listen to audio from the connected device through the Model One's mono speaker.
    • Record Output: The radio's 3.5mm record output (fixed) lets you record music from the built-in AM/FM radio to a connected tape-deck or CD recorder. You can also use the Model One's record output to the connect the AM/FM tabletop radio to your home entertainment system.
    • Headphone Output: The Model One radio is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone output for connecting a set of stereo headphones for private listening. Connecting headphones will mute the Model One's mono speaker.

    Placement: Place the Tivoli Audio Model One on a flat, stable surface (do not block the bottom bass port). The Model One radio is not video shielded and should be kept at least 5" away from a computer monitor or television. The Model One can be positioned vertically, as well as horizontally. Placement in a bookcase, cabinet, or close to walls or corners may increase bass response.

    Power Requirements

    AC Power Adapter: The Tivoli Audio Model One operates off of standard household AC current using the supplied 10' AC power cord (117V-60Hz/25W).

    12VDC/800ma Port: This input is for use with an optional 1A fused/12VDC adapter (sold separately), for operation in a boat or camper. The connector must be a 5.5mm/2.1mm center-positive.

    Front-Panel LED: The Model One features a front-panel LED which illuminates green when the unit's power is 'On'.

    more than I expected

    Written By Bruce, Tequesta Florida on Thursday, January 17, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This radio performs better than I expected from such a small device. A big bonus is that I can use it as an FM radio and as a stereo tuner for play back through the t.v.'s soundbar and subwoofer. That really sounds good. The only complaint I have is that the tuner dial does not point to the correct frequency. On the FM dial I have to tune to 106 inorder to listen to 105. A small complaint but something that should have been corrected at the factory.

    Best Ever

    Written By K McGovern, Allentown, PA on Friday, June 22, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Only 1500 characters, will be concise. Crutchfield: Great vendor; has been for the 20+ years I've done occasional business with them.

    Model One: Case is superb, almost like it was machined from a single block of wood. Interior was said to have crappy, occasionally rusted components. Maybe it happens once in a awhile, took mine apart, no problems. Commerical grade plastics where used, good quality components, fine workmanship. Analog tuner good and the LED signal indicator is effective. I could see where a Terk antenna would be of value for some; Allentown, PA--not needed. AM sounds great, NO underlying noise as reported. There's no RFI shielding in the cabinet, so a noisy environement could be the culprit. FM selectivity is fine for an anlog tuner, but in a crowded area might be less desirable than a digital tuner. Once you get the LED nice and bright, it holds the station well. Sound is great AM & FM but has a little boom around 100-200Hz as the case is ported underneath. The Top 40 Crowd might like it especially on FM stations, but I set my radio on a thick paperback to close the port and raise it a bit (nightstand is a little too low) which settled things nicely. All around fit and finsh at least as good as advertised, maybe better. Sorry we don't make it in the USA, but it would be twice the money. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!
    Pros:
    Beautiful case, fine styling, great fit and finish of internals. Tuning LED effective, AM/FM tunes well, holds station. Extremely good sound from high quality speaker. Excellent Crutchfield service.
    Cons:
    Case is ported which causes a little boomy sound in low midrange. Easy to fix by closing the port if bothersome. AC cord is bright white, just a quibble, would have preferred dark brown--had to find something bad to say..! :)

    Close as I could get

    Written By philip, Chapel Hill on Saturday, April 28, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I had an Advent Model 400 that I bought new in 1978. I liked it a lot. One day recently it just died. So 33 and a 1/2 years after I bought the Model 400, I went out and bought the closest thing I could find to it, the Tivoli Audio Model One. I like it. It sounds good and looks classy. If it lasts as long as the Model 400, I'll be very happy.
    Pros:
    Warm, fuzzy nostalgic feel. Nice sound. Costs about the same as the Model 400, 34 years later
    Cons:
    Kloss isn't around anymore to design audio equipment.

    Overall a quality product with some limitations

    Written By Joe D, Summit, NJ on Tuesday, April 17, 2012
     
    Overall, a solidly built, well-designed and good-looking piece of equipment; nice and simple to use; just plug it in, and for difficult FM stations, just add the supplied antenna.
    Pros:
    Good price, nice design, solidly built; like the aux input for the iPod, and, until it malfunctioned (see "Cons"), the headphone jack
    Cons:
    Sill have trouble getting the local public radio station, unless I'm using the FM antenna, and radio is in one specific spot (and then it's "OK", not great); just recently, noticed that something is obstructing the headphone jack -- plug will no longer go in all the way -- a mystery, since the radio doesn't get moved around.

    Tivoli Audio Model One

    Written By Cliff P, Youston on Monday, April 16, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I'm glad i purchased this radio and may purchase another.

    Pros:
    The radio has good sensitivity & selectivity (at least it picks up two marginal stations here w/o external antenna).
    Cons:
    It would be a little handier if it had preset buttons for oft used stations but I don't often change station so this is no significant problem.

    Nice little radio

    Written By Anonymous, Lancaster PA on Sunday, January 29, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This is a great little radio. We have it on the kitchen counter where it takes up little space. The sound is decent and it is super easy to use for my non-techie wife. She easily plays Pandora on her iPhone on this radio.
    Pros:
    Small, very easy to use. Decent sound.
    Cons:
    Not stereo, not high end sound, but the price isn't high end either.

    Disappointed

    Written By Chris, Old Saybrook, CT on Monday, May 09, 2011
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I bought this radio for my kitchen, hoping to tune into one of my favorite radio
    stations (college station, not a strong signal). Based on other reviews, thought the
    Tivoli would work. But unfortunately it doesn't. Even the stonger NPR stations
    came in at varying levels. And guess what, when I sat my 10 year old Bose Wave
    right in the same spot it picked up the station nice and clear. I will say the sound
    quality equaled the Bose and I loved the compact look. But I returned it based on it
    not meeting my primary qualification. Back to square one....

    A Perfect Fit

    Written By Robert, Charlestown, RI on Wednesday, March 09, 2011
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    We were looking for a small table radio with a real good sound:size factor for
    our country kitchen. This little bear fit the bill. It blends right in on top of
    the colonial dry sink and is able to pick up our favorite FM classical & jazz
    stations located from twenty to forty miles away. The tuner is super sensitive,
    so you hear some static as you navigate, but once it locks on, the noise
    disappears.The aux miniplug for the ipod is a nice feature as well, but mostly
    we just punch it on the FM and let it go most of the day.

    Suddenly it's 1970

    Written By Clark K, Long Island, NY on Thursday, January 27, 2011
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I was amazed at the quality of construction. This thing is built!
    The controls have a wonderfull feel, and the cabinet is 1st rate.
    But using it is very frustrating. The analog dial is difficult to use, when you live in an area
    with
    many stations. There's no quick change from one station to another when you don't like
    the current broadcast. Switching from fm to am requires re-dialing, because the 2
    bands share the same tuning dial. There are no tone controls, so you'd better like the
    factory settings.
    If you're the type of person who tunes in a station and stays with it, you will probably
    love the Model 1. I change stations as soon as I don't like the current selection, and if I
    want the news, I switch from fm to am. Consequently, this radio did not work for me.

    Solid (clean) Audio for a Table Radio

    Written By Ken D, Passaic Cty, NJ on Tuesday, November 30, 2010
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    The Tivoli Model One radio was selected to be one of my wife's Christmas Gifts.
    She enjoys a wide range of music the source of which is our home theater system
    located in the living room. My wife devotes a lot of her time to working in the
    kitchen. When not preparing meals, she is preparing her lesson plans using the
    kitchen table.

    Our kitchen has recently gone through a major renovation with an old
    under-cabinet AM/FM/CD Radio/Player put out to pasture. The Model One will be
    the new source of music for the kitchen and will be placed on our new granite
    counter top. I selected the Black finish which complements the color of the
    stone. Other counter top radios were examined before selecting the Tivoli Model
    One.

    The Model One, by design, seemed superior to others and was equipped with all of
    the (necessary) controls one would need, the high fidelity sound
    notwithstanding. The sensitivity and gearing of the tuning dial is evident and
    the signal strength indicator is a welcomed feature. Fit and finish of the
    cabinet and controls appeared to be well above average. Amplifier power was
    readily noticeable and more than adequate.

    I know my wife will be thrilled to listen to this fine radio in her kitchen,
    making the work of preparing meals and her school work much more enjoyable.
    Also, she will be able to plug-in her iPod which contains all of her FAVS,
    listening to them through the full-range of the Model One's speaker.
