NetWorks

Tivoli Audio has dramatically lowered the price of its line of NetWorks audio systems making them available (as the press release states), "at factory direct prices."

In case you're not familiar with the Tivoli Audio Networks system, to put it simply, it's a radio that allows you to listen to Internet radio stations from around the world, without using a computer. Stations can be found by searching for genre, city or station directly on the radio. If you have a networked home computer, you can access music stored there as well.

NetWorks Internet Radio new prices (available on www.tivoliaudio.com):

• NetWorks: $299.99
• NetWorks with FM: $399.99
• NetWorks Stereo (with a companion speaker): $399.99

I don't know about you, but when I listen to music – whether it is from my iPod, a table radio or my home theater system – I want to hear crystal-clear, high quality sound. Tivoli Audio is a company that delivers exactly that in every single one of their products – from their compact iPAL, all the way to their NetWorks Internet Radio. So, if you're a music lover like me and are shopping for a radio either for yourself or someone on your holiday gift list, don't make that purchase without checking these out first.

Here are just some of Tivoli Audio's products:

Model 10 Dual Alarm Clock Radio: Tivoli Audio just celebrated their 10th anniversary, hence the name of their newest table radio. The Model 10 outputs rich, high fidelity sound from its compact 7.8-inch cabinet and features two independent alarms (which can be set to music or a tone). The alarms also have sleep timers and snooze control. Its LCD digital clock and menu screen are easy to read and have an adjustable backlight.

The Model 10 has inputs for a CD Player, iPhone, iPod or other MP3 players, as well as a mix audio input and record, headphone and subwoofer outputs.

It is not just a radio; it is a device that can harness the music played on the Internet. It does not need a computer to access the World Wide Web, and is easily controllable with the very simple user interface and control dial. This new device can also play HD Multi-cast and DAB stations previously only available through very expensive HD or dedicated DAB receivers.

NetWorks from Tivoli is an amazing "Audio Device" because you can tune into Australian Opera from Sydney, Country Music from Nashville, or any other specialty niche radio station from any location in the world in its native language, and in real time. This is Global radio in its purist form. Yes, you can still listen to your favorite local radio stations too.

We have a Tivoli Audio Henry Kloss MODEL ONE radio in our office. This specific radio has a manufacturing date of October 2000. It is an amazing audio device in itself because it has a sound quality that cannot be found in other radios. The same is true for the Tivoli NetWorks that employs a full-range 3.5" magnetically shielded driver that is capable of high quality audio reproduction. Read more

Moving can be a hassle. You expect to lose your bearings and familiarity with your old city, as well as your social networks, but you never anticipate all the little things that will be different – like the local news and radio stations, as well as your home stereo system. Tivoli Audio alleviates these last two inconveniences, however, by using its WiFi NetWorks global audio system, which can pull signals from Internet broadcasts without the use of a computer.

Live listening to local stations from areas far outside their range is now a reality. NetWorks can also pull music off of your PC in other parts of the house via a wireless Ethernet; you don’t have to move your computer or load songs onto CDs or MP3 players. Search by genre or call letters on the system, and you’re sure to find something you like, regardless of geographic location.
