Product Information

What’s more, the real-wood casing combined with the embedded digital amplifier in this product makes for a sound that makes you want to sit up and listen. You can almost feel the music move through you with a radio as powerful as this. The Pure Evoke C-F6 has a lot going on (those CDs have to fit in somewhere), so you shouldn’t be surprised to hear it’s got some size to it, measuring in at 380 mm wide x 145 mm high x 223 mm deep and weighing just over 4kg. This all-in-one system in the Evoke range combines digital radio and easy wireless Bluetooth connections with a CD player and FM connectivity.

On the front of the device, you’ll see the iconic Pure logo, two sizable stereo speakers, tuning and volume knobs, along with a range of buttons for controlling your CD player and radio. If you just want a digital radio and aren’t interested in connecting it to the internet, an Evoke D2 or D4 is probably a better option. As with all Pure Evoke radios, you can except great sound quality. Not only do you get a product that looks nice, but you also get technology that delivers relatively good value. The main difference between the Evoke D6 and the Evoke D4 is that the D6 has two built-in speakers, offering stereo sound. This radio has an attractive real oak wood design. FeaturesAs with most Pure radios, the Evoke C-D6 is made to be highly user-friendly. Setting the radio up for the first time should be easy. However, like any piece of technology, it can be challenging to set the radio up, especially if it’s your first time interacting with Pure Radios.

Pure Evoke D6 with Bluetooth review | What Hi-Fi?

However, with so many options onboard, you’re really going to still need to see the screen on the radio to do much more than turn it on and control volume levels, making the included remote a little moot. Autotuning: Once powered on, the radio will automatically search for the available stations. Wait for it to complete an autotune, after which a station will start playing. The Evoke D6 with Bluetooth isn’t going to revolutionise the DAB radio market, but it does continue the trend of the Evoke range being a fine option for those looking for a solid, dependable radio. In addition to the standard Evoke D2 with Bluetooth, there are a number of different designs available, often at a higher price. Evoke D2 Mio with Bluetooth have the same features as the maple Evoke D2 with Bluetooth reviewed above, but come in a range of colours (raspberry, almond, aloe, cerulean, charcoal, pewter, scarlet). If matching your radio to your decor is important to you, choosing an Evoke D2 Mio could be a good option.A cheaper alternative is the Roberts Blutune100, which has a similar price tag to the Pure Evoke C-D6 and also has very similar features. The Blutune100 has an acoustically tuned wooden cabinet that helps give it an attractive retro design. Built-in Bluetooth lets you choose your favourite music, streaming service or internet radio station and play it direct from your phone or tablet without trailing wires. Dialogue heard through the studio of Radio 5 Live sounds relatively warm and detailed. It’s easy to latch onto what people are saying. As part of the Evoke all-in-one music system collection, you can expect an easy-to-use interface with the CD-6, including intuitive and simple controls. The Evoke C-D6 is also impressive when it comes to sound quality.
