Description

WIFI Bluetooth Multiroom Vintage Radio

TSF radio set equipped with a class D amplifier combined with a 80 W full-range speaker (the original speaker had a power of 1 W!). An active filtering enables this audio system to get closer to a high fidelity sound.

Find more information about digital filtering and the sound of our units.

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.

History of the radio

Founded in 1864 by the engineer Eugène Ducretet, the company initially produced precision equipment and scientific instruments incorporating electromagnetically driven mechanisms. Among the first patents filed by Ducretet in 1879 were a phonograph, wireless transmission antennas and X-ray applications.

In 1915, after the death of the founder and after the death of his son Pierre on the front, his son Fernand (1878-1928) took over the company but became blind in 1917; the company was taken over by Ernest Roger.

In 1930, it became part of the French company Thomson-Houston (CFTH). In 1932, the Ducretet Thomson brand appeared on a series of radio and phonographic equipment sold under the name "La Voix Du Monde". The factory moved to Rue de Vouillé, in a space of 8,000 m2 where more than 800 workers were employed by 1935. In 1936, CFTH was partially nationalized. In the 1950s, television sets began to be produced.

On December 22, 1950, it signed an agreement with the French company Thomson-Houston represented by Pierre Baillot, and the firm of Maurice Selmer, and founded a record label. In 1958, CFTH and Pathé-Marconi merged the brand into a new one, the SDRT, which distributed the material La Voix de son Maître..

The brand disappears around 1980, after having produced nearly 500 different models of radio and television equipment.
