Product Description
Tivoli Audio Portable Audio Laboratory (iPAL) in iPOD White - The iPAL is the perfect complement to the iPod. Functionally the same as our other PAL radios, it matches the sleek, modern, white and chrome appearance of the popular iPod MP3 player. Use the auxiliary input to connect an iPod, CD Player or other device, and prepare to be amazed at the expansive sound, which must be heard to be believed. iPod can also be connected wirelessly using the iTrip FM Transmitter (sold separately). The environmentally-friendly NiMH battery, which fully charges in about 3 hours, provides many hours of cordless playback*. The clever little green LED serves as both a power and battery status indicator. The iPAL also features the world's most acclaimed AM/FM tuner, with Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) to lock on to the center of the station for best reception and lowest distortion. The ultra-precise 5.1 ratio dial allows easy, accurate tuning. An adjustable telescoping FM antenna extends and rotates for improved FM reception (there is also a built-in AM antenna). NiMH battery pack, AC adapter, and stereo mini-cable included. One year warranty. * Playback time varies depending on volume level.
Amazon.com Product Description
New electronics that resemble old electronics are all the rage these days. With a case that looks like it belongs in a mad scientist's laboratory, the Tivoli iPal is on the vanguard of retro style. In fact, the "Pal" stands for Portable Audio Laboratory--a cheeky reference to the unit's obvious Geiger counter-inspired design. Fortunately, the iPal does more than just look cool. When paired with an MP3 player such as the iPod or with a laptop, the iPal is a versatile companion that musters much better sound than we expected from a single-speaker unit. Tivoli is known for engineering small components with surprisingly good sound, such as the Henry Kloss Model One radio. The iPal proved to be no exception.
Its compact size makes the iPal an excellent MP3 player companion. |
Design
While the iPal is functionally identical to Tivoli's multicolored line of Pal-powered speakers (offered on Amazon.com in Electric Blue, Pearl White, Sunset Red, Basic Black, Neon Yellow and Spring Green), its white and silver casing is designed to complement the iPod MP3 player. At 6.25 inches high and just under 4 inches wide and deep, the 3.5-pound unit is small enough to slip into a backpack, but it's a little hefty for a briefcase.
The iPal's single rotary dial handles tuning for both AM and FM stations. Testers didn't expect to have much to say about something as mundane as a radio tuning dial, but the iPal's is truly unique. The dial is designed to move between stations at a speed that's a bit slower than the speed at which the user turns the knob. We found that this ratio dialing technique makes it far easier to tune stations accurately and quickly. Little touches like this really set Tivoli products apart.
The iPal's radio tuning ratio dial is smooth and accurate. |
The tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control, although their conical shape could make them a little pesky to operate for those with larger hands. A small LED power indicator blinks when the battery is running low. Meanwhile, the iPal's single, 2.5-inch magnetically shielded driver is protected by a handsome metal speaker cover.
The back of the unit sports a telescoping antenna that has the solid, metal construction reminiscent of older transistor radio antennae. A standard 3.5-millimeter headphone jack is provided here, as is a 3.5-millimeter auxiliary line-in port for plugging in your iPod or other music device. A port for AC/DC power and battery charging is also present. All the ports feature handy, attached rubber plugs that keep out the elements when they're not in use.
The base of the iPal houses a rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery pack that, when fully charged, delivered a respectable four hours of listening at moderate volume levels. The iPal's rechargeable batteries give it a leg up on many other portable speaker solutions; gone are the days of hauling around an armada of disposables. Tivoli claims that the battery pack does not suffer from the dreaded memory effects that afflict other types of rechargeable batteries. The batteries are environmentally friendly, too.
Listening Pleasure
At first, we were skeptical about the performance of a small, one-speaker unit that offers only monaural sound. The reality is that most small, portable two-speaker systems don't allow you to place the speakers very far apart anyway, and the iPal's rich, resonant sound more than made up for its lack of true stereo separation. Plus, the iPal is an elegant box with no cumbersome speaker cords to fuss with when you're entertaining on the go.
We plugged the iPal into the kinds of audio devices folks tend to use these days--an iPod, a laptop, and a portable CD player. We came away impressed with the iPal's performance with all three. Highs were crisp and clean, while mids and lows were accurate, with a fullness that surprised us. "Could this kind of sound really be coming from this little box?" we asked. When we really pumped up the volume, there was noticeable distortion, but at normal to high volume levels, the iPal excelled. For casual listening, indoors or out, the iPal is a great way to let others hear that iPod library you've been slaving away to build.
We were also pleased by the iPal's tuning accuracy. Tivoli says this is the result of the unit's automatic frequency control (AFC) technology. Whatever witchcraft is behind this tuner, we were impressed. Tivoli adds that the iPal can be used as a component tuner via the headphone-out port--not a bad idea given its quality and accuracy. --Joshua Gunn
Pros
- Small and portable with great rechargeable batteries
- Simple, elegant design
- Great sound
Cons

- Cone-shaped tuner and volume dials might be challenging for larger hands

Wonderful sound quality.......2007-12-26
I bought this for my husband. We have used it out in the gazebo, while doing yard work or just while we goof off. You get great radio reception from it and we also use it to play our iPods through. It's like a mini stereo with a huge, well balanced sound. It does a superb job with any genre of music. It performs as well as, or better than our "Cambridge" brand clock radio/CD or my friend's "Bose" radio. So, for the money this is a wonderful buy, portable or not.
Best radio around........2007-12-23
This is a great radio! This is my second, after several years of use; around the house, in the garden, and everywhere else. I need one for work,too! Everyone who's heard it has gotten one. The best sound, and reception. And I love the analog dial. Call me old-fashioned, but I find it a lot easier to tune with a dial. And if your eyes are getting weak, there is no problem tuning this radio.
My Pal!.......2007-12-18
I LOVE my iPal. I carry it from room to room, like Linus and his blanket. It really is my pal!!!
Amazing radio.......2007-12-12
This is the third PAL radio I've purchased. Love it so much had to get one for my son. It has amazing sound and the battery lasts a long time. Would highly recommend it!
Wow the price has gone up!!!.......2007-11-21
I have had this product for a long time. It has great sound and amazing ability to pick up far away stations. I have never had a problem mechanically, (the outside has worn a bit). I am very surprised on the price though. I bought it for $129 and it has gone the opposite way of most electrical products - UP!! And it is no different now than 5 yrs ago.

Amazon.com Product Description
Tivoli Audio makes its popular Henry Kloss radio portable with its PAL (Portable Audio Laboratory) AM/FM radio. The unit's treated 2.5-inch magnetically shielded driver and rubberized cabinet are weather resistant, so your PAL can keep you company by the pool or the patio. And its environmentally friendly rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride battery pack (supplied) fully charges in about 3 hours, providing many hours of cordless playback on the deck, in the garage, or by the pool. A green, front-panel LED serves as both a power and battery status indicator.
The PAL borrows the same geared-down 5:1-ratio analog tuning dial as used in the acclaimed Tivoli/Kloss Model One radio for easy, accurate tuning. Also on tap is an auxiliary input to connect a CD player, MP3 player, MD player, or other device, and a stereo headphone output for private listening (headphones not included). The headphone jack can also serve as a recording output or as a way to use the PAL as an outboard tuner with your integrated amplifier (though be aware that the volume control governs the headphone jack's output).
The tuner features Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) which locks on to the center of a station for optimum reception and low distortion, while the adjustable telescoping FM antenna extends and rotates to improve FM reception. There's also a built-in AM antenna.
What's in the Box
Radio, AC power adapter, 1 rechargeable NiMH battery pack, warranty card, and a user's manual.

Tuner is less than desired........2007-11-06
On most counts this is a dandy little radio. The sound is great, the rechargable battery lasts for many hours and recharges quickly. You can play you MP3 player through the speaker. The only down side is the tuner. The stations drift in and out and it will recieve two stations at the same time. A radio in this price range should have a better tuner.

Everyone needs a PAL. Ever wish you could enjoy the Model One's trademark sound quality and reception outdoors? You can, if you have a PAL. The Henry Kloss Portable Audio Laboratory's treated 2.5" magnetically shielded driver and rubberized cabinet are weather resistant, so your PAL can keep you company by the pool or the patio. And its environmentally friendly rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride battery pack has no memory and fully charges in about 3 hours, providing many hours of cordless playback. The clever little green LED serves as both a power and battery status indicator. The PAL borrows the same geared-down 5: 1 ratio analog tuning dial as used in the critically acclaimed Model One radio for easy, accurate tuning. Also on tap is an auxiliary input to connect a CD, MP3 player, or other device, and a stereo headphone output for private listening (headphones not included), as a recording output, or to use the PAL as a high-quality outboard tuner. The tuner features Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) which locks on to the center of the station for best reception and lowest distortion, while the adjustable telescoping FM antenna extends and rotates for improved FM reception (there is also a built-in AM antenna). Perhaps most amazing of all is its expansive sound which must be heard to be believed. Your new PAL is sure to be the life of the party, and you don't have to feed him.

Wonderful sound quality.......2007-12-26
I bought this for my husband. We have used it out in the gazebo, while doing yard work or just while we goof off. You get great radio reception from it and we also use it to play our iPods through. It's like a mini stereo with a huge, well balanced sound. It does a superb job with any genre of music. It performs as well as, or better than our "Cambridge" brand clock radio/CD or my friend's "Bose" radio. So, for the money this is a wonderful buy, portable or not.
Best radio around........2007-12-23
This is a great radio! This is my second, after several years of use; around the house, in the garden, and everywhere else. I need one for work,too! Everyone who's heard it has gotten one. The best sound, and reception. And I love the analog dial. Call me old-fashioned, but I find it a lot easier to tune with a dial. And if your eyes are getting weak, there is no problem tuning this radio.
My Pal!.......2007-12-18
I LOVE my iPal. I carry it from room to room, like Linus and his blanket. It really is my pal!!!

This is the third PAL radio I've purchased. Love it so much had to get one for my son. It has amazing sound and the battery lasts a long time. Would highly recommend it!
Wow the price has gone up!!!.......2007-11-21
I have had this product for a long time. It has great sound and amazing ability to pick up far away stations. I have never had a problem mechanically, (the outside has worn a bit). I am very surprised on the price though. I bought it for $129 and it has gone the opposite way of most electrical products - UP!! And it is no different now than 5 yrs ago.

Beware - not iPAL.......2007-05-24
This is a PAL, not an iPAL. The difference is the design (colours) and the marking and iPAL also contains a male-male audio cable to connect to your music player's headphone output.
