General Comments

The Bug

Pure Digital - the leading manufacturer of DAB Digital Radios has teamed up with Wayne Hemingway, the original designer behind the Red Or Dead fashion label, to create The Bug - and the result certainly gets the thumbs up from us. This wacky little device is all about fun, and you will just love the way the LCD is perched at the end of that gooseneck stand above the main unit.

The Bug's not just about looks though. You can pause and rewind live radio to a cache of built-in flash memory, buffering between 5 and 12 minutes of audio according to the broadcast quality of the radio station. There's also an SD card slot which, as well as enabling you to play MP3s, can be used to record tunes as you hear them or set up timer events to record whole shows in advance.

Recordings are made in MPEG-2 format, the same one used for digital radio transmissions.

Sound quality is great and you get nice touches such as a USB port so you can read the SD memory card directly from your PC. There are also analogue and digital audio outputs, plus an alarm clock.

Overall it's a wild bug, its a quirky appearance and cool range of features makes it a winner!
