Review on 📻 Riptunes Boombox Radio Cassette Player Recorder: AM/FM -SW1/SW2 Radio, Wireless Streaming, USB/Micro SD, Aux in, Headphone Jack, Convert Cassettes to USB/SD, Classic 80s Style Retro - Black by David Blackstock

If you're listening to AM/MW radio, this is the box you need. Better than average AM performance and way better than its ION "Street Rocker" / "Crosley" clone. FM is as good as any on-chip DSP radio, albeit mono. Yes, it's a DSP with an analog dial. That's very good. SW tapes are average for this type of device. It works, it's fun to play with, but it's not going to replace a "real" shortwave radio. I. The tuning is a bit delicate as the tuning wheel is connected directly to the tuning cap, but it's not hard to figure it out. The tape recorder is the same mechanism used in almost everything today. Not the best but gets the job done. Yes, it has a stereo head, stereo recording and playback. If you want to record high quality cassette tapes this isn't for you, but I'm sure you already know that. The recorder/player chip works fine and yes it is stereo. It records in WAV format (yes, WAV) at 192 Kbps, making it a much better voice recorder than others, although it's not the best voice recorder as it has a microphone that is a very ordinary microphone. In any case, don't expect it to be a field recorder. It scans a track by holding down the << or >> button and remembers where you were in the track when you turned it off or called up another function instead of starting a backup. at the beginning of the file. The sound quality is pretty good for something that only runs on 4 D cells, it won't break the whole block, but it's perfectly respectable. Yes, the tweeters are fake, but that's no big deal as you don't need them on 4-inch speakers anyway. In any case, I would say that there would be too many. no treble control disguised as a "tone" control. The volume meter (flashing lights) isn't accurate and doesn't show left and right levels independently, but it's sort of a real volume meter, so it doesn't change with the volume control. This will give you a good idea of the level, in fact, that you can adjust the volume of whatever you're feeding into the Auxiliary jack to optimize your recording. Major advantage. Take a few notes to test the meter and you'll quickly get the hang of it. On my overload it's the last LED, the first green (yes you got it wrong) seems to be just under 0dB/100% Your mileage can be very high, they actually got it right for what it is is.
