14 DAY TRIAL // The concept of radio receiver is evolving quite fast, Internet radios being the “rage” and really “trending” in this segment, the latest product of this type we've come across being the Sagemcom RM50 model, a device that offers quick and easy access to over 13,000 Internet radio stations around the world, as well as conventional FM stations.
Similar to other such devices out there, the RM50 has WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) protection to obtain secure connections to WiFi Internet access points.
However, it also has a stand-by ‘low power consumption’ mode making it a secure and green audio option.
The device has quite an interesting look, its all-black body and special form factor making it quite an interesting choice for one's bedroom or living-room.
This RM50 offers a great listening experience thanks to its ‘air-proof’ design which prevents audio scattering and delivers a big sound from a very compact unit, which means that it will also take a very small amount of space wherever the user might decide to place it around the house.
Using the control keys located under the LCD display or the remote control, browsing for your favourite, or finding new stations is simple.
With the world’s radio stations at your finger tips the RM50 allows you to search for stations by theme, by name, by genre or by region.
And this is where that “smart search” function we've mentioned earlier comes into play, since “Smart Random” function gives the listener the possibility of random access to other radio stations of the same genre as those most frequently listened to – as well as alarm clock functions and an intuitive equaliser.
Sagemcom RM50 Internet Radio should be readily available from Amazon for 100 pounds sterling (157 US dollars), which is not exactly that high a price, all things considered.
