⚙️ Important Design Details
Two speakers, hidden behind grilles, with a total music power of 2 W (RMS) are responsible for the stereo sound. The device consumes minimal energy – during operation, it consumes only 12 W of power, and in standby mode only 0.25 W.
The manufacturer has built-in an internal power supply, meaning you only use a standard power cable – without any additional, heavy "connectors." To ensure clear reception of stations broadcasting at frequencies of 87.5 - 108 MHz, a long, telescopic antenna is installed on the rear panel.
Information about the radio path and frequency is displayed on a clear, 7-segment screen next to the control buttons.

⭐ Why is it worth choosing this model?
By choosing the VIOLA CD-1, you get universal and timeless equipment. We often lack equipment at home that can "simply" play a CD. TechniSat solved this problem by creating a boombox, which, however, doesn't become useless when you don't have your records at hand - you can instantly transform it into a Bluetooth speaker or a classic, loud radio with an antenna, which you can easily carry by the handle to the garden.
• Does this device have a battery charged via cable?
No. The VIOLA CD-1 does not have a built-in battery charged via cable. The device requires direct connection to a power outlet or 6 standard R14 batteries (not included) for wireless operation.
• Does the boombox display song titles from MP3 discs or a connected phone?
The device's display is a classic 7-segment screen, which is perfect for showing the current time (clock), track number (Track 1, 2), and frequency, but does not display long, text-based track names.
• Does the device also work as a computer speaker?
Yes! Thanks to the Audio AUX in input (using an optional jack cable), you can connect your computer or older MP3 player via a wire and play the sound through the VIOLA's speakers.
