Vintage Hi-Fi Radio
Radio TSF equipped with a 17cm 100W woofer and a 50W tweeter (the original speaker had a power of 3W). The maximum sound level at 1m is 93dB : this set is very powerful !
This radio is the first in our new High Fidelity line. We generated a computer model of the cabinet from which an optimal solution was found. Its dimensions are sufficient to have opted for a bass-reflex speaker, allowing it to reproduce low frequencies down to 30 Hz! The characteristics of the speakers and the vent are calculated to obtain the best possible frequency response, taking into account the dimensions of the case. From now on, even the audio system placed in our antiques is unique! With this radio you will enjoy a very rich sound on all frequencies, from ultra-low to extreme-high.
Its WIFI module will allow you to stream audio from music platforms and radio stations with much better sound quality than Bluetooth. Technical possibilities are rapidly evolving and we are dedicated to making our vintage devices effective tools to take advantage of them!

WIFI connectivity also opens up the possibility of synchronous wireless streaming to multiple devices (multi-room). If you buy a second device (radio, WIFI record player or WIFI speaker), one could play the left track and the other the right, or one could play your music in the living room and the other in the kitchen.

The device also features Bluetooth connectivity for streaming sound directly from the web (Youtube...), and an auxiliary jack to plug into.

History of the radio
This radio was bought in 1960 by a family living in a small village, a few kilometers from the Mediterranean beaches. It was an important part of the interior decoration of the house along with delivering the news every evening for more than thirty years, before being put away in the attic to be replaced by a CD player. We have one again given it life and it's ready to be used again!
Philips was founded in 1891 by Frederik Philips and his son Gerard. The father, a banker, financed the acquisition of a factory in Eindhoven, where the company began to manufacture electrical components. After a difficult first few years, during which they almost went bankrupt, Gerard's younger brother Anton joined the company. As an engineer, he quickly brought fresh ideas to the table and the business grew rapidly. In the following years, the family laid the foundations for the multinational electronics company. In the 1930s they marketed the very popular "Chapelle" radio, and in 1939 the first electric razor.
After World War II, Philips produced vinyl turntables that we love for their robustness. The company contributed a lot to the Art Deco movement, seeking to move away from the natural lines of Art Nouveau into more abstract modern forms. After 1960 came the tape players, then other technologies.
