Product Description
Tivoli Audio Model 3 Clock Radio - Go shopping today for a clock radio and you'll mostly find big&bright digital displays, the sounds of nature, futuristic designs, and other modern amenities. Tivoli Audio however, takes a different path with the Model 3 Clock Radio. It has a purely analog interface for both the clock, and the AM/FM radio, as well as being designed with an old-fashioned feel. Right down to it's cherry wood cabinet. But while keeping a classic design, it does have modern features and superior audio technology inside. Sleek thumbwheel to set the alarm time Constant, gentle illumination External FM antenna&power supply included Operates on AC power Cherry Wood Finish Weight - 4.5lbs.
Amazon.com Review
For those who like to slumber in style, the Tivoli Model Three is the ultimate wake up call. With an understated cherry wood exterior, and large, easy-to-operate controls, the unit serves as a lesson in simplicity for other manufacturers who insist on making confusing, user-unfriendly clock radios. Although we had a few quibbles with some of the features, as well as the performance, of the Model Three, overall we recommend it is a wonderful bedside companion.
Design
The Model Three incorporates the audio and tuning technology of the Tivoli Model Two, while adding a quartz mechanical movement clock and alarm circuitry. Like other Tivoli radios, the Model Three is just over 8 inches wide, 4.5 inches high, and 5.25 inches deep-- about the size of a toaster turned on its side. It fits well on a desk, dresser, or nightstand.
The Model Three's single rotary dial handles tuning for both AM and FM stations. The dial is designed to move between stations at a speed that is a bit slower than the speed at which the user turns the knob-- a 5 to 1 ratio, to be exact. This "ratio" dialing technique makes it far easier to tune stations accurately and quickly. It's a nice touch that sets the unit apart from other desktop radios.
The tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control and they're well designed for hands of all sizes. A small LED power indicator, as well as an LED that helps determine signal strength, are positioned between the dials. We did have one gripe about the Model Three's controls, though. Unlike the high-contrast labeling we found on the Platinum Series Model One radio, the Model Three's blue-grey lettering atop a taupe background is difficult to read, especially in low-light situations. We found ourselves struggling to see what station we were tuning and what functions we were selecting-- not something most desire on an alarm clock.
Fortunately, the Model Two's clock is easy to read and simple to set. A rotating bezel on the clock's face adjusts the wake time while a single button on the back rotates the clock forward. These methods allowed us to set the clock and wake times with good accuracy. There's also a sleep timer that shuts the radio off after 20 minutes, allowing you to fall asleep to tunes. We were a little puzzled by Tivoli's decision to power the clock by what we initially thought was simply a AA backup battery (the battery is housed in the rear of the unit). In fact, a battery must be used at all times to power the clock as it does not pull juice from the wall outlet. This means that the battery will need to be checked regularly to ensure accurate timekeeping. When the unit is powered by AC, users can wake to the radio. When the unit is unplugged, however, or if the power goes out, the Model Two will deliver a battery-powered beeping alarm.
A single, 3" driver is positioned on top of the unit and is protected by a handsome metal speaker cover. A five-minute snooze button resides next to the speaker for those times when you just can't roll out of bed right away.
The Model Three shares the same back panel ports as the Model Two's, meaning it can serve as the base unit for a more robust Tivoli stereo system. A coaxial antenna jack for the included FM antenna wire is provided, although the Model Three also has an internal FM antenna. Tivoli recommends using the supplied external one for tricky tuning in locales with a lot of closely-spaced stations. There's a handy switch for switching between the internal and external antennae, as well. A standard 3.5mm headphone jack is also provided, as is a 3.5mm auxiliary line in port for plugging in the Tivoli component CD player, the Model CD. For the really techno-savvy, there's also a 3.5mm mixing input that permits audio from your computer to be mixed in with the radio.
Like the Model Two, the Model Three supports the addition of the Tivoli Companion Speaker for full stereo separation, as well as the Model Subwoofer for extended bass range. There's a small balance dial on the rear of the unit if you choose to add the companion speaker, as well as a mono/stereo switch. If you want to use the Model Three as a component tuner-- not a bad idea given the overall quality and accuracy of the tuning circuitry-- Tivoli has provided a 3.5mm output port.
Listening Pleasure
As with the Tivoli iPal portable speaker system, we were initially skeptical about the performance of a small, one-speaker unit that only offers monaural sound. The reality is that most small two-speaker systems don't allow you to place the speakers very far apart anyway, and the Model Three's rich, resonant sound more than made up for its lack of true stereo separation. Plus, the Model Three is a single, elegant box with no annoying speaker cords. While the Model Three does sound better than the iPal, we did notice that the Model Three, quite mysteriously, does not sound quite as good as the venerable Model One. There is faint but noticeable hiss that is not present in the Model One, and we wondered if the Model One's designer, the late Henry Kloss, had less of a part to play in the Model Three's design.
Overall, though, we found the Model Three's sound impressive, especially coming from such a small unit. In most cases, it delivered rich, resonant sound. The Model Three's tuning felt less accurate than the Model One's but we were still able to dial in stations quickly and easily.
As for its function as an alarm clock, the Model Three was spot on. Not a single tester who relied on the unit was late to work!
Pros
- Simple, stylish construction
- Good sound and tuning accuracy
- Nice expansion options
Cons
- Clock cannot be powered by AC (battery only)
- Slight hiss when compared side by side with the Model One
- Tuner is slightly less accurate than the Model One's
Customer Reviews:
Concerned about the battery requirements?.......2007-12-05
I love my new tivoli. The clock is battery operated, which many reviews reported being a confusing addition to the design, however, if the power goes out, your alarm clock still works and the batteries only need to be changed once a year.
Not worth the price of admission. Why? Read on..........2007-11-08
I bought this item for it's clean design and great tuning section (their analog radios are way better than their digital models). My complaint is this: The jack where the ac adapter connects malfunctioned within a few weeks of purchasing this product. They sent me a replacement since it was under warranty. Now that the replacement is no longer in warranty the same malfunction has occured. Without power only the clock will work. You can't even change the time without the power adapter. Tivoli said they would repair or replace it for $75. I said no thanks. It seems as if these radios are calculated to break after not too long a time. It's unfortunate that a clock radio that sells for so much money, most would say they are over-priced, can't be constructed any better than this one is.
It's great, but...........2007-10-30
Th LED light is crazy bright. For a $200 unit, a dimmer or even on/off switch for the LED light would have been nice. I like it dark when I sleep, and the light in this unit is bright. Really bright, enough to light up the room.
The sound is awesome, great range from a tiny box. FM reception is good to excellent. I like the analog clock. It's a sold B+/A- all things considered.
Very excellent........2007-09-17
This is precisely what you would expect. Finely made, and of the best quality. Complaints about usability? Sure, one might pick nits, but no criticism of this product negates the reasons you'd buy it. It's handsomely designed, and performs far better than any clock radio you've ever seen. You will find yourself listening to it in lieu of your expensive fancy stereo. This is exceptional engineering and a truly fine product. You deserve this :)
Attractive Radio with Annoying Weakness.......2007-09-08
A vendor was selling the Tivoli Model Three for 66 dollars via Amazon so I could not resist. I'm glad I bought it but it has an annoyance: If I leave the room, the reception seems to drift a bit on AM or FM. I know this because the Model Three has a light that glows amber green when you've hit the reception "sweet spot." Often I'll re-enter the living room and the green is no longer glowing and I can hear static. If I'm reading nearby, this is no big deal. I assume this radio would benefit from a telescopic antenna instead of its piggy tail in the back. Having made this criticism, I love the look and sound of this radio. But if you're new to radios, start with the best radio for the money, the Sangean PR-D5, about $75-85. Unlike the Model Three, the PR-D5 has dual stereo speakers, telescopic FM antenna, internal 200 mm ferrite AM antenna, PLL synthesized tuning, and digital presets.

Crosley Stack-O-Matic CR83.......2007-12-26
I highly recommend this item if you enjoy listening to your old records and tapes and CDs. Very good sound and nice looking cabinet.
Junk.......2007-12-04
We bought one and it came with a damged exterior, so we returned it. Its box was open at one end as well. Amazon sent a replacement and it arrived with a missing foot, so it wobbles and can not be used to play records. It also had veneer missing in two places; chunks of it were missing to expose bare wood. Both looked used, so maybe it was not Crosley's fault, but instead Amazon's for passing off used items as new ones. I would recommend buying this from a more trustworthy store.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Tivoli Henry Kloss Model Two Radio with companion speaker, the Tivoli Model Subwoofer, and the Tivoli Model CD are designed to be used together as part of a complete compact stereo system but are sold separately.
All the elements of the component system have classic styling that makes Tivoli products so distinctive. Simplicity and elegance are engineered into all three components and, for the most part, we came away impressed with what this little system could do in terms of sound quality, as well as its ease of use. It's worth noting here that all three components sport separate ports for AC and DC power, making them a great choice for boating or RV use.
Henry Kloss Model Two
The Model Two serves as the base unit for the Tivoli component system. It is very similar to the Model Three clock radio, without the alarm clock section. Like other Tivoli radios, the Model Two is just over 8 inches wide, 4.5 inches high, and 5.25 inches deep--about the size of a toaster turned on its side. The unit also ships with a companion speaker which, unlike the monaural Henry Kloss Model One, gives the system full stereo separation.
The Tivoli Model Two with companion speaker. |
The Model Two has a single rotary dial that handles tuning for both AM and FM stations. 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--a five-to-one ratio, to be exact. This ratio dialing technique makes it far easier to tune stations accurately and quickly. It's a nice touch that sets the unit apart from other desktop radios. The tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control, and they're well designed for hands of all sizes. A small LED power indicator, as well as an LED that helps determine signal strength, are positioned between the dials. We did have one gripe about the Model Two controls, though--the same gripe we had about the Model Three. Unlike the high-contrast labeling we found on the Platinum Series Model One radio, the Model Two's blue-gray lettering atop a taupe background is difficult to read, especially in low-light situations.
The Model Two's 3-inch driver is housed next to the tuning dial and is protected by a handsome metal speaker cover. The companion speaker contains the same driver in a form factor that is the same size and construction as the Model Two's main unit. A 15-foot RCA speaker cord attached to the companion speaker allows you to set the speakers well apart in a room--great for getting optimal stereo separation. There's a small balance dial on the rear of the main unit as well as a mono-stereo switch.
A coaxial antenna jack for the included FM antenna wire is provided, although the Model Two also has an internal FM antenna. Tivoli recommends using the supplied external antenna for tricky tuning in locales with a lot of closely spaced stations. There's a handy switch for alternating between the internal and external antennae, as well. A standard 3.5-millimeter headphone jack is also provided, as is a 3.5-millimeter auxiliary line-in port for plugging in the Model CD. For the really techno-savvy, there's also a 3.5-millimeter mixing input that permits audio from your computer to be mixed with the radio. A preamp-out jack is provided for the Model Subwoofer, and if you want to use the Model Two as a component tuner--not a bad idea given the overall quality and accuracy of the tuning circuitry--Tivoli has provided a 3.5-millimeter output port.
The Subwoofer adds rich bass to the Model Two. |
Model Subwoofer
At 6.5 inches high, 9.5 inches wide, and 6.1 inches deep, the Model Subwoofer is a bit larger than the other components in the Tivoli system. While a 5.25-inch bass driver dominates the front of the unit, there's also a deep front port for added bass response. A bass-level dial lets you decide how much of the low end you want to hear. The on-off switch has a sensor that automatically activates the subwoofer when a signal is detected. With 20 watts of power, the Model Subwoofer is an impressive little box with the capability of dramatically extending the fullness and richness of the Model Two sound.
Model CD
With its cherry wood casing, Tivoli's component CD player matches the Model Two perfectly while offering equally simple operation. We really liked the elegant slot-loading mechanism; it felt solid and reliable. Basic functions like play, stop, and track selection can be controlled on the unit. There's also a tiny little remote that adds shuffle, direct track selection, repeat, and intro-scanning functions. True to form, the remote is simple and easy to use. The Model CD's display is bright and crisp with the look of a high-end audiophile-class component. We played a number of CDs, including CD-R discs with nary a hitch. Tivoli says that the Model CD will not play CD-RW discs, however.
The Tivoli CD is elegant and capable. |
A 3.5-millimeter headset jack is provided on the back of the unit, as are RCA outputs and an AC power port that connects to a supplied brick-style AC adapter. The unit is also capable of running on DC power.
All Together Now
Setting up the component system was fairly straightforward. All of the inputs and outputs are clearly marked, and each component ships with everything you need to make the right connections. Although it might be too much to ask for, it would be great if the Model Two main unit had an AC power input for plugging in at least one of the components. This is admittedly a minor quibble, and it might not be feasible in such a small device.
Just like our experiences with other Tivoli products, sound was impressive--full of clear highs and mids and rich, room-filling lows. The Model Two tuning feature felt less accurate than the Model One, but we still were able to dial in stations quickly and easily. Overall, we recommend the Model Two as a high-quality mini-component system, because systems this size rarely sound this good. Even without the subwoofer engaged, the sound was rich and resonant. As soon as we plugged in the subwoofer, though, we were transported to near sonic bliss. It's a must-have accessory for the Model Two.--Joshua Gunn
Pros
- Simple, stylish construction on all the component parts
- Great sound from such a compact system; good tuning accuracy
- Subwoofer option adds exceptional dynamic range
Cons
- Tuner is slightly less accurate than the Model One

Tivoli is tops.......2007-08-23
Just buy it for it's elegance , simplicity and high quality.
Tivoli will never let you down.
Close but not Quite.......2007-08-07
Sound quality is nice and the cabinetry is well designed; however, the remote lacks a few essential features as well as the LCD on the CD player leaves room for improvement. The remote does not have the ability to power on and off the CD player making it only somewhat helpful in remotely adjusting your CD listening, but not fully featured. Another disadvantage is that the LCD screen is not as clear as you would want and for a dim room the angle of clear viewing is slim at best. The best way to get this product is in a bundle... Don't misunderstand the review though, this is a nice product, but don't think that there are not a few shortcomings.
Just what we wanted.......2007-01-16
My brother and I were looking to replace our mother's broken CD player. We wanted something that looked and sounded good and that was also easy to use. Finding something with the last attribute, simplicity of use, without giving up the first two attributes was the hard part. The Tivoli CD player was ideal: One CD only, play-pause-stop, forward-back, that's it, and that is all that is necessary - and it is very attractive and sounds great. It was the perfect gift - she loves it.
Box on Box.......2006-12-28
First I bought the model one radio and then I bought the cd player. Good stuff however I don't like the multiple box concept. For the same money I could have bought a Bose Wave.
Would have gotten a higher rating if it worked at all.......2006-07-21
I would imagine it was the cheap, crummy power supply, but mine wouldn't even light up...dead...One wonders why a $200 component can't run on 110 volts? I'd try it again if they re-worked the power supply, but not if I have to use a DC adapter like a $3 item.
Product Description
Mission style furniture derived its origins from a desire to create furniture and accessories that were pure in form and lacked a lot of ornamentation. The mission movement, which began in the early 1900's, was in response to the heavily gilded and carved Victorian styles. This arts and crafts movement is beautifully embodied in Crosley's Mission Stack-O-Matic. Handsomely showcased in a solid wood and veneer cabinet, the Mission stays true to the simplistic nature of design with smooth straight Crosley has married subtle stylings with fancy technology. The Mission features Crosley's very own Stack-O-Matic technology allowing you stack up to 6 records and drop them automatically for continuous play. Let the AM/FM analog radio and illuminated dial take you for a stroll down memory lane or just pop in your favorite CD in the front loading CD player for maximum listening enjoyment.

This is an OK CD/DVD case. The magnetic latch is nice. The glossy pitcher make the finish look nicer than it actually is. It has thin coating of paint/stain, so every scratches shows the wood. The wood is cheap particle wood. But for $11, I guess I was expecting too much.
