Wake up to the world!
Internet radio rules. In fact it's beginning to make regular radio look rather passé. But who can be bothered lugging their computer around the house in order to listen to all those lovely stations? Not us, and especially not in the morning. That's why we love the Tangent Quattro WiFi Alarm Radio.
This chic, idiot-proof radio links to any wireless network, giving instant access to over 6000 radio stations from around the world. You don't even need to turn on your computer or pay any subscription fees.
Thousands of global stations available!
Better still you can search for your global ear-candy by location and genre - from Australia to Azerbaijan, rock to reggae, Brazil to Belgium, classical to country. And you can wake up to a guy from Bondi Beach one day, or some Taiwanese traffic expert the day after that. (Well, you never know).
Snooze button
The point is the world is your oyster. And station surfing is almost as much fun as actually listening. (Although those German stations really should lay off the Hasselhoff tracks). As well as giving access to the wonderful world of internet radio, the plug and play Quattro can wirelessly stream the audio files trapped on your computer, and it will even queue playlists. What's more you can plug in your MP3 player and use this gorgeously-built box of tricks as a stand-alone speaker.
Stream music from your computer!
Needless to say, all of the above would be pretty useless if the Quattro didn't cut the mustard in the sound department, so thank goodness it does. In fact, its 3" driver is capable of producing some seriously crisp sonics. Even the aforementioned Hasselhoff tracks sounded amazing during our exhaustive trials.
With its incredible list of features it's easy to forget that the Quattro is also an alarm clock with a snooze function. And believe us, foreign voices and faraway stations are far more effective waker-uppers than regular alarms. Speaking of waking up, it's about time you did - to the amazing Tangent Quattro WiFi Alarm Radio.
Available in different colours (Back row): White, Walnut.
(Front row): Black, Red

 | Press reviews |

"The Quattro looks great and its wooden sides contribute to it sounding good, too."
The Independent |
"You can also play music from your shared folders on your PC... it looks great and is incredibly easy to use."
Computer Shopper |
"It's ideal for the kitchen or - thanks to its alarm clock - bedroom. The only problem is that there's too much choice!"
.Net |
"...it's a wonderfully designed piece of kit, with enough oomph to the speaker to make the best of even the most average audio streams... as an all-in-one table radio we haven't seen anything that comes close to matching it."

I bought the Quattro 2 weeks ago in Denmark, and all I can say is DAB and FM is dead. Normally you have the DAB and FM channels available on the Internet also - so now I can access another thousands of channels from all over the world besides the normal DAB/FM. My favourite reggae channel is "RootsRockReggae" directly from Jamaica - it is just amazing.
