Sansui tunes in with the new DR-201V DAB/FM Tuner

Sansui is launching a stand-alone DAB/FM tuner to complement its range of affordable, high-quality hi-fi components, enabling radio lovers to enjoy the best of digital and analogue radio stations from their audio system.

The £225 black or silver DR-201V is a full size audio component styled to integrate into customers' existing Sansui 201 series hi-fi systems or as an add on for any other system. Its ability to receive DAB, DAB+ and FM signals provides the user with a large selection of radio stations to choose from and ten favourite stations can be saved in the preset memory. Using the supplied remote control to find a station is simple, even from a distance, thanks to the large two-line dot matrix VFD display.

The company has designed into the DR-201V a range of connectivity options to simplify integration into as many systems as possible. Stereo RCA sockets provide the analogue outputs and the tuner may also be connected into a digital based system, such as the matching Sansui SAP-201V DAC equipped integrated amplifier, via optical or coaxial digital outputs. For custom installation situations, the DR-201V is also equipped with a RS232 connection for use with a system wide control solution.

Paul Mitchell, managing director, of Sansui UK said, "We believe that broadcast radio has a strong future alongside the rise of internet radio stations due to its far superior sound quality. The DR-201V has been produced to fill a gap in the market for an affordable, but very high quality, tuner for radio lovers who want to hear their favourite radio stations through their hi-fi system."
