Cambridge Soundworks Radio 7053/8/2021
And whether theyre listening to sports, talk radio, news and weather, or just the local adult contemporary station, these dedicated radiophiles are looking for a radio that looks as good as it sounds--something for which theyd pay a premium and be proud to display on the desk or in the kitchen.Its exactly that sort of person for whom the Cambridge SoundWorks Radio 705 was created.
![]() The Radio 705 is available in three colors: arctic white, silverwhite, and onyx (black). Its otherwise straightforward design is highlighted by a tuning knob that takes up nearly the entire right half of the front face. Its whats known as a Vernier dial, a nested mechanism that spins the outer dial at a slower rate than the inside knob so as to allow more refined tuning changes (a similar tuner is found on the competing Tivoli Audio Model One ). Three LEDs help you further zero in on a station (you want the green one lit, and the two flanking yellow ones extinguished). Analog vs. digital tuning is a matter of choice, of course, but theres at least one disadvantage to the dial: unlike a digital radio, you cant have any station presets. Below the tuning knob are the minimalist controls: only a volume knob, a band selector, a tone control, and a power button. ![]() The entire radio measures just 5 inches high by 8.5 wide by 6.5 deep, but it tips the scales at a somewhat beefy 4.25 pounds, bespeaking its heavy-duty build quality. A down-firing bass port gives a bit of gravitas to low frequencies. Connectivity is limited to one headphone output and one auxiliary input (both are standard 18-inch jacks). The input allows the Radio 705 to act as a speaker for virtually any audio device, such as an iPod--all you need is a 5 patch cable. ![]() Unlike some radios, however, theres no separate external AM antenna, nor a jack to add your own.
