Tangent Quattro MKII Wi-Fi Internet Radio

So you’re sitting in your living room in Australia, listening to a radio station in Armenia. You think about a switch to a station in America, but decide to listen in on your true favourite from Austria. And you do it all within a matter of seconds. You’re listening to internet radio, and the possibilities are almost endless.

Not much in life is more agreeable than internet radio. A portable (or laptop) tuner like the Tangent Quattro is able to tune rapidly to your Wi-Fi network and is able to update itself making it fully capable of transforming everyday washing-up session into a voyage of discovery.

The Quattro is ideal for the kitchen, or the bedroom for that matter. It's handily compact, tidily finished device, and it's logical and easy to use. It's simply a question of turning it on and letting it greet your wireless network, then wait for it to check in at www.reciva.com, which is a doddle. From turning the Tangent on to having a choice of nearly 7000 stations it takes just five seconds.

Every radio is in thrall to the quality of broadcast that it recieves, and the Tangent is capable of making the best of a bad job. Jamacia's Roots Rock Reggae station, is recieved at a mere 32kbps, but the Quattro still offers worthwhile weight and separation to songs. Something more expansive, like Seattle's 160kbps KEXP, is freighted with detail, for a mono design, the Quattro sounds creditably expansive.

Tangent Quattro is the first internet capable member of the Tangent audio family. Connecting to the hundreds of thousands of internet radio stations is as simple as it is pleasurable. Reproduction of the digital signals sent through cyberspace fully lives up to your expectations, with the powerful 3” up-firing driver unit performing to perfection.

WiFiRadioReview.com Review: "The Tangent Quattro has the best quality of sound we have yet come across in a WiFi radio. The build quality is good, but not perfect - we are slightly concerned about the tuning knob, but it feels essentially solid and is hard to fault in the looks department. Being tethered to a power cable means that it's not really portable despite its small size..."

The Tangent Quattro is well-built, good-looking and undeniably expensive, but as an all-in-one table radio we simply haven't seen anything that comes close to matching it..." Click here for full review The Gadget Show Review (Rated 4/5): "Retro-istas will love the Quattro's solid build and curvy body, and the burly sound quality is a real plus point too. Stick in a DAB tuner and a remote control and this would be the best radio on the block - but as it stands its talents are slightly overshadowed by the Revo Blik RadioStation..."
