My test of the Festool SYSROCK BR 10 Job Site Radio

[AlexDSL]

Hi everyone,

I have been fortunate to receive, for testing, the next Festool radio which will be released (in Europe) in early 2016.

Complete description, a lot of photos and video in an article I wrote on my blog (in French) :

Love it !

Does it have DAB?

Only joking.

 

[AlexDSL]

Ah ah  [big grin]

Thanks for actually have the radio playing, which has been missed from other reviews. The first choice for me would be how it sounds and being such a small unit I had my reservations. Although I have a Sonos player one and that's not much bigger and the sounds excellent.
Thanks again for the review.

I quite like the look of it for my workshop.
Mrs can bluetooth her iPhone tunes to it with ease.
A shame it doesn't charge the battery while plugged in.
I don't get DAB up in North Scotland so no biggy for me... Could just use radio on iPhone and bluetooth it if i wanted extra channels other than FM.

Thanks for including the sound bites [thumbs up]...that's the most important issue. For all of the rest of the virtues/or lack of virtues ...das macht nichts...if the sound isn't any good.

Thank you all!

I made another short video:

Any Idea what these are gonna retail at?

At the moment I've got a Milwaukee Radio which is a giant in comparison! Would be nice to get some extra space in the Van..

Hi all 1st post

Is there any reason it would not work in the US with our batteries?

US radio is on the odd tenth's of a wavelength (so 88.1, 88.3, 88.5 MHz), while the rest of the world is on the even tenths (88.2, 88.4, etc.).

Plus the ranges are different.

But if you plug in or Bluetooth only...I don't see why not.
