Overview

The Tivoli Audio® Model One® AM/FM table radio has been described as “the best sounding table radio ever made,” (MSNBC) offering “the kind of room-filling sound that many other radios claim to deliver but often don’t.” (Forbes)

With a tuner that brings clarity to many of the weakest stations, the Model One radio begins with a handmade wood cabinet that is both beautiful and the ideal acoustically inert speaker housing. A heavy-magnet, long-throw driver is mated to a frequency contouring circuit that automatically adjusts output over half-octave increments, resulting in musically accurate tonal balance and bass response. “When your stereophile loved ones turn the knob on the rock-solid Henry Kloss Model One Table Radio, they’ll toss out all their multiuse, Bluetooth-enabled gadgets and cry with hi-fi joy.” (Elle)

Like all Tivoli Audio products, the Model One AM/FM table radio is compatible with iPod and other players. Available in several finishes, for yourself or someone else you care about.

An external FM antenna and 9' power cord are included. One year warranty. Offered in Walnut/Beige, Maple/Hunter Green, Cherry/Cobalt Blue, Black Ash/Silver, White/Silver, Black Ash/Black-Silver and Cherry/Silver. Other colors available through select retailers.

The Model One is also available in the Frost White Collection which features a pure white hand-lacquered cabinet, silver knobs, and a vibrantly colored faceplate. And the Model One BT is the same great radio with a built-in Bluetooth receiver.

    A radio incomparable!

    Beautiful to look at. Beautiful to listen to. A beautiful radio in all ways.

    My old Model One needed repair. I sent it to Tivoli Audio and in a week Tivoli sent me a new radio. How can it get any better?

    My next audio device will be manufactured by Tivoli Audio.

    Have confidence buying Tivoli products!

    I purchased my Tivoli Audio Model One radio one year ago while stationed in MA. My previous review on it is still onsite here, dated 1/12/12

    This is a follow up on that same radio. My Model One had a small problem and although the technical people suggested a fix for it that I could do, the problem persisted. I contacted them again, obtained a return merchandise number, mailed it in to them and within days I received an e-mail saying a new Model One was on its way!
    Everyone in this company I talked with or corresponded with was courteous, friendly and very helpful; and Tivoli did not hesitate in replacing my ailing Model One with no questions asked.
    Customer service in many industries is at an all time low, but not at Tivoli Audio. I am extremely satisfied with both the product I purchased and the customer service they provided and I will not hesitate in buying another of their fabulous products!

    Everything and then some

    I purchased this radio for my wife who is technology challenged... I figured two knobs and a tuner she could handle. She loves it. The sound is rich and full and it looks good in the kitchen. Tivoli Audio has two new fans!

    Holy Cow!

    Just received a very well taken care of Model One from someone that I know that didn't have a use for it. And I must say I am deeply impressed with the build quality and audio excellence from the variety of music that I listen to. Never dreamed that I would have the pleasure of owning such an awesome piece of audio equipment. So simple to use and looks good while using it!

    Compact Power House

    It's my companion when I'm at home and working in my room.
    It pulls in the stations well and sounds very clear. It often reminds me of Henry Kloss one of the pioneer of early quality sound who contributed so much to many of the Tivoli creations.

    Simply The Best!

    The Tivoli Model One is by far the greatest radio that I have ever listened to. After much research, and deliberation, I decided to purchase the Model One to have as a radio in my kitchen, to listen to my local NPR (Wyoming Public Radio) station. Needless to say, I am beyond impressed! Upon receiving my Model One, I began to question the price, as compared to the size (it is quite small). Once I listened to this little guy, I was sold...voices are deep, and rich, music is full and accurate. Reception is wonderful, even without the external antenna. The sound is without rival, despite being mono. Even at high volumes, which fill the upper level of my home with sound, distortion is non-existent. I now want to purchase one for every room in my home!

    Huge Sound in a Small Package!

    While wandering through the Natick (MA) Mall this morning waiting for the stores to open, I was drawn to the Tivoli Audio Store by the sight of some very small yet beautiful radios on display. I patiently waited for the store to open and I am so glad I waited.
    I was greeted by a very friendly (and NO pressure to buy) salesman who gladly demonstrated several different models for me to enjoy.
    Discovering I could also listen to my iPhone music (and Internet Radio stations) using The Connector sold this unit. Being here in MA on a four month work assignment was forcing me to listen to my favorite radio channels through a laptop, not the best sound even using external speakers.
    I walked away from the store with a brand new Model One (and The Connector) and a short while later had everything easily connected and was enjoying one of my favorite radio stations from Atlanta over WiFi through my iPhone. Even my favorite rock songs come through clearly, crisply and boldly through this radio.
    I cannot recommend this radio more highly and if you are within driving distance of this one and only Tivoli Audio Store do yourself a flavor and stop in and experience what they have for sale. It will be very difficult to leave that store empty handed!
    And yes, this radio also brings in local radio stations much better than my small portable battery operated radio that travels with me.

    I wish I could give the Model One more than five stars.....it deserves it!

"With a bare-bones design and simple dials, this machine is unassuming yet unexpectedly powerful and as clear as a bell and capable of emitting state-of-the-art sound. Reason enough for going back to radio."
