Loewe Klang S1
Loewe Klang S1 all-in-one mini system: Internet radio, podcasts, DAB/DAB+ and FM tuner, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi reception, in a compact housing for a living room, office or kitchen.
Description
The Loewe Klang S1 is an all-in-one connected radio: electronics, tuners and speakers are combined in a single housing, with no cabling or external source required. It provides access to Internet radio, podcasts, DAB, DAB+ and FM stations, and also accepts streams sent from a smartphone or tablet.
On the reception side, the device combines a conventional broadcast tuner with a network gateway. The advertised online catalogue reaches up to 25,000 stations and around 10,000 podcasts, which can be organised and stored according to one's own listening habits. The wireless connection relies on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth V.4.2, with A2DP profile for audio transport and AVRCP for remote playback control; the network side supports the WEP, WPA and WPA2 (PSK) security protocols as well as WPS pairing, which simplifies setup on a home router.
Three control modes coexist: the controls located on the unit itself, the supplied remote control, and the Loewe Radio app, the latter being the most comfortable for navigating a directory of several thousand streams. The design work, made up of clean lines and carefully chosen materials, earned the Klang S range a distinction at the Reddot Design Award and the if Design Award.
With dimensions of 33.5 x 12 x 9 cm and a weight of 3.1 kg, the Klang S1 is intended for a room where simple, immediate listening is desired without installing a full system: kitchen, bedroom, office, workshop or spare room. It also suits those who mainly listen to speech, general radio stations and podcasts, while retaining the ability to stream their personal library via Bluetooth.

What to check before buying used
On the used market, a few checks are specific to this type of connected device. Make sure the radio still connects to the home Wi-Fi network and that the Internet radio service still works: these platforms depend on a remote directory whose upkeep determines access to stations and podcasts. Then check Bluetooth pairing with a recent phone, the presence and proper function of the remote control, which is often mislaid, as well as the readability of the display and the responsiveness of the front-panel buttons. A DAB+ and FM reception test with the original aerial, along with extended listening at moderate volume to detect any speaker crackle or noise, usefully complete the inspection.
