Boston Acoustics Duo
Sleek stereo tabletop radio with an AM/FM tuner and a dual alarm function with gradual wake-up.
Description
The Boston Acoustics Duo is a stereo tabletop radio designed for the bedroom or the office. Its design, with soft lines and rounded corners, favours simplicity, while its alarm function makes it as much an everyday companion as a radio listening device.
The AM/FM tuner stands out for its good reception sensitivity and its ability to store up to fifteen stations, split between ten FM presets and five AM presets. The two 89 mm full-range speakers are paired with BassTrac technology, designed to balance the bass despite the compact size of the drivers, delivering dynamic and coherent reproduction without a separate subwoofer.
On the alarm side, the Duo offers a dual alarm with gradual volume increase, as well as a snooze function that first delays the alarm by ten minutes, then in five-minute increments, up to a limit of one hour. The alarm is switched off by simply touching the metal border surrounding the unit, a practical solution for a quick interruption upon waking.
The interface is deliberately limited to three soft-touch buttons, for immediate ease of use without multiplying the controls. A built-in backup memory retains the time and settings, avoiding any need for reconfiguration after a power cut. Connectivity includes an auxiliary input and a headphone output, both in 3.5 mm mini-jack, allowing an external source to be connected or for private listening.
This radio is aimed at those looking for an easy-to-use bedside or desk unit, combining stereo listening quality with well-thought-out alarm functions, without requiring any complex installation.
What to check before buying used
Test the alarm function on both alarms: the gradual volume potentiometer and the contacts on the touch-sensitive border used to switch it off are the first components to weaken with age. Also check that AM/FM presets are retained after a power cut, a sign of a healthy backup battery or tuner circuit. Finally, listen to both 89 mm speakers at high volume to detect any crackling linked to the BassTrac technology, which places heavy demands on small drivers.
