While you are supplied with an appropriate power lead with interchangeable two and three-pin plug adapters, you will need to provide the four AA batteries if you have selected this power option. Switching to the plain plastic rear of this mini DAB radio reveals that this product can be powered either via the mains or batteries. The radio’s plastic front face consists of a 70 x 25 mm screen mounted on top of a two-lined control panel and an arrangement of slats cover the unit’s speaker outlet. The decorative patterned leatherette wrap covering encompasses the top, bottom, sides and carry handle of the radio, leaving the front and rear plastic faces uncovered which does rather spoil the overall effect of the Emma Bridgewater look. I have seen and checked out several models that could easily slide into a pocket without disturbing the smooth lines of your stylish outfit.

While this portable radio, with dimensions of 224 x 147 x 105 mm, might be the smallest DAB radio launched by VQ, it is not the smallest DAB radio I have come across by a long way. I had been sent the VQ leatherette wrapped marmalade offering with its carry handle and luggage tag indicating that the product belongs to Emma Bridgewater who is responsible for the patterned design decorating most of the unit. There are other colour schemes within this particular product family allowing you to select from pink, purple, teal, mustard, red, cream, black and Radiant Orchid.

Such is the decorative feature of this next product under review. However the same appreciation does not apply when the marmalade term refers to the patterned colour scheme that is adopted by a DAB radio. Like Paddington Bear, I enjoy marmalade, the tasty spread that accompanies my morning toast.
