Description
WIFI Multiroom Vintage Radio
Radio Art déco équipée d’un woofer de 100W de 16 cm et d’un tweeter de 50W séparé (le haut parleur original avait une puissance de 3 W). Le niveau sonore à un mètre est de 97 dB : cet appareil est très puissant !
This set is part of our new High-Fidelity. Nous avons généré un modèle informatique de la caisse de l’appareil à partir duquel une solution optimale a été trouvée. Ses dimensions sont suffisantes pour avoir opté pour une enceinte bass-reflex, permettant de reproduire les basses fréquences jusqu’à 30 Hz ! Les caractéristiques des haut-parleurs et de l’évent sont calculées de manière à obtenir la meilleure réponse en fréquence possible, compte tenu des dimensions de l’appareil. Dorénavant, même le système audio placé dans nos antiquités est unique ! Vous profiterez avec cette radio d’un son très riche sur l’ensemble des fréquences, de l’utra-grave à l’extrême-aigü.
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.

Case condition
It has been carefully renovated, but retains memories of the passage of time:
- some minor scratches on the case
- the dial glass is original so has sighs of its age with spots on the mirrored finish
En d’autres mots, cette radio est en excellente condition pour ses 67 ans, comme en attestent les photos !
History of the radio
The Nouvelle Société de Radiophonie S.N.R. (63 rue du Faubourg-Poissonière, Paris IXe) was born in 1935 and produced radios until 1961. Its first models, small and unadorned, were adapted to the context of the crisis of the time, but SNR quickly evolved towards bakelite radios to keep up with the other manufacturers. The competition raged after World War II, and the design team began to search for a signature that would set them apart. New, more modern models, made of metal and inspired by Art Deco, came out of the factories in 1947. The success was very fast.
The Excelsior is an icon of the Art Deco period, and the fact that it was only produced for two years makes it one of the most difficult radios to find.
During the visit of a Soviet diplomat to Paris in 1952, France offered an Excelsior 52 which, when brought back to Moscow, served as a model for a series of exact copies (except for a badge with the hammer and sickle), which were produced until 1955.
We don't know how SNR came from being so successful to shutting down in 1961. If you have any information on this subject, please tell us !
