Re: [slim] Boom and Radio...what could have been...

2016-07-02 Thread robt2379

Having looked at the project, I recognise the screens and the Android
remote app as being Frontier Silicon. Currently used by Roberts Radio,
Ruark, Revo and many others.

Being the owner of two Roberts Stream 93is, I can say that its a very
capable system and streams well from a NAS. I liken the 93i to my Boom,
perhaps not quite the sound quality but portable and battery / mains
powered. And I can control them via LMS using the UPNP / DLNA Bridge
plugin.

I expect the Duetto to be a nice piece of kit, although there are very
similar items on the market already (Ruark R2i).

Re: [slim] Boom and Radio...what could have been...

2016-06-10 Thread usc95

While they aren't the prettiest of devices, what makes them interesting
to me are:  

the inclusion of a screen - to see exactly what is playing
the inclusion of favorite buttons - to instantly be able to choose a
favorite radio station
the inclusion of Google Cast - which makes streaming from a variety of
additonal services easy (along with LMS if Phillipe's plugin will work
with it)

Of all the products out there that offer networked music playback it is
startling to me how few offer a simple screen or favorite button.  I
haven't decided if I will back the project yet as I am in the middle of
upgrading my home theater and my wallet can only handle so much stress
but I do hope they will be around for when my Boom finally bites the
dust.

+1 for the BOOM.

Why limit yourself to a single speaker, when you can get a pair for
merely a few more $ when they're on sale?

The Radio's colour display is nice, but I'd take the extra speaker over

[slim] Boom or Radio

2010-05-02 Thread STEVESPUR

Morning to all.

I currently have a Duet (for a year or so) and have happily had no
problems of note.

I am now looking to expand for something for the kitchen.
My question / choice therefore is what is best - Radio or Boom?

Also - of course we have microwave's etc in the kitchen - will they
affect wifi reception? (the router is in the room directly above the
kitchen).

Appreciate any thoughts

Re: [slim] Boom or Radio

2010-05-02 Thread heliboymal

Hi Steve,

I have a Boom in the kitchen and find it excellent.  It delivers a
fullsome sound and has two speakers giving stereo as oppose to the
Radio's mono speaker.  The radio has a colour screen which may appeal
if you use apps like Facebook etc.  The Boom has nice big buttons etc
which is handy in the kitchen and I tend not to use my controller.

When my Boom is connected to my squeezebox it will cut out if my
microwave is on but doesn't when connected to Squeezeserver.  I read
the forums and undrstand that this may be peculiar to Panasonic
microwaves (which ours is) and may not be an issue with other brands.

In summary there is no bad choice there.  Enjoy

Mal

Re: [slim] Boom or Radio

2010-05-02 Thread Paul_B

I have both a Boom and a Radio. The Boom acts as a bedside alarm clock
and the Radio is in the kitchen. Given the choice again I'd opt for a
Radio for the following reasons:

- Seems to have better wifi reception. I've used it in the garden and
not had buffer issues whereas the Boom often seems to drop out

- Adding a battery to the Radio makes a good product into an awesome
product, as I said I can quite happily use it in the garden and the
bttery easily last for several hours

- Easily portable so you can take it wherever you want whilst the Boom
always needs to be close to a power socket and will have to boot up on
connection

The pros for the Boom are:
- Slightly better sound quality from the two speakers
- More options available through Squeezebox server
- Prefer the VFD display

We have a Duet and a Boom and have been happy with them.  One note on
the microwave issue.  Our microwave is halfway between the SBR and the
router.  (About 20 feet from each, with a couple of walls, too.)  We
had problems when the microwave was on until that microwave died and we
bought a new GE.  No problems at all with the new one, so it definitely
varies with the model.

depends on the size of the kitchen. The boom has more, well, boom. It
sounds fuller. But this might overwhelm a smaller room.

As for the stereo, the speakers are very close. There is a small area
where you actually have a stereo effekt. orthogonal to the box and not
to far away. If you move around in the kitchen, you won't be in the
sweet spot too often.

Re: [slim] Boom or Radio

2010-05-02 Thread andynormancx

I have a Panasonic microwave as well and it does cause wifi problems
(even though the router is nearby). Easily solved by using powerline
Ethernet rather than wifi.

I have Booms and a Radio. I have a Boom in the kitchen and I think it
is a better choice than the Radio for the kitchen.

With two sets speakers the Boom can go that much louder. In the kitchen
with the extractor fan, the main oven and the microwave running in
convection oven mode the Radio would struggle. As it is I have the Boom
turned most of the way up in that situation when listening to speech
radio.

Luckily both the Boom and Radio can be turned right up without any sign
of distortion, unlike your typical small audio equipment.

I would say either would work well.  I currently have a Boom for my

Re: [slim] Boom or Radio

2010-05-02 Thread Justme

I also have a Boom and a Radio. The Boom is in the kitchen and I
personally prefer it that way. 

•   Louder than the Radio which can help with the noise often generated
in the kitchen.
•   The bracket is perfect for mounting under a cabinet so no work space
is interfered with. 
•   Comes with a remote that has a magnetic back, sticks to the fridge
;O)
•   Currently, the Boom has no software issues. My radio usually lasts
about two days before I have to reinstall the firmware to get it going
again. Been like this since I got it at the beginning of this year.

I still like my Radio (when it works) and find that good for the
bedside as it is smaller. Though it lacks backlit buttons which the
Boom has and would be handy.

So, I recommend the Boom for the kitchen.

Re: [slim] Boom or Radio

2010-05-02 Thread aubuti

I would say go for the Boom. Unless the kitchen is really small and you
don't have the space for Boom's slightly larger footprint, and are 100%
sure you won't need the Boom's bigger sound. I think the Boom's sound is
much better than the Radio's, and you can also read the display easily
from across the room. You can also tailor the Boom's sound more (bass,
treble, StereoXL), which can be a plus in a kitchen, where the
acoustics are almost guaranteed to suck. As others have mentioned, the
Boom will also do better competing with the various and sundry noises
encountered in a kitchen.

As for the microwave, it depends in part on how leaky the microwave is.
It shouldn't be very leaky. The SB2 in our kitchen is wired ethernet,
but the SB Controller sits about 10cm from the microwave and it never
visibly drops out. Of course, a Controller moves a lot less data than a
player, so as usual, YMMV.

[slim] Boom or Radio for childrens room

2010-02-19 Thread Letten

Hi,

I can't make up my mind, what is best suited for young children, Boom,
Radio?

At the moment my daughter (age 8) is using a Boom in her room and soon
I want  to equip my sons room (he's 4).

My daughter uses presets for favorit radio and playlists, sometimes she
also uses the navigation to find music although multiple libraries would
be a help (I'm crossing my fingers for next version).

My son will only use presets or someone else will help him find the
music he wants to listen to. 

I wonder if the color screen of the Radio would help them or just make
things more complicated.

And, is the mono-sound good enough to fill a small room (13m3) ? I
havn't heard the Radio yet.

Any ideas? comments?

Cheers,
Letten

For preschool operation album art is the killer feature that should make
you choose the Radio IMO.

If you can get a combo of plugins to allow all albums of genre:Children
be shown by the click of a preset-button, the kid can choose his music
based on the way the album cover looks like. I know my 3½ year old knows
lots of albums by the look of the cover.

By the way, if you get that working, please post the method here. I
would like that kind of functionality, but I haven't really bothered

I've got an Asus WL-520 wireless router (clone of the Linksys WRT) with
dd-wrt installed on it. I've set it up as a wireless bridge (so it's a
client of some other wireless network and serves up a connection to that
other wireless network to its own clients).
You can also set the MAC it uses.
So... it seems as though you could use a laptop to accept terms, then
turn your router/bridge on (with its MAC set to be the same as your
laptop). The Squeeze gear just always connects as a client to your
router/bridge.
I've done this, but just to extend range (the Asus router can connect
to wireless networks that my notebook can't - too weak). I originally
thought I'd need a directional antenna, but the standard omni that comes
with it works fine.
Oh - and if you were, for some reason, limited to only one MAC
connecting to a wireless network, well, all your clients would appear as
the router/bridge MAC
This particular router wants 5VDC. The Linksys WRT uses 12VDC. I went
with the Asus as it makes a better travel / hotel router (packs smaller,
router + power supply's a good deal lighter), but if you're on 12V...

[slim] Boom or radio in motorhome

2010-02-07 Thread reedvb

Am I missing something here? Plan on traveling in a motor home ,
wondering when I use campgrounds or areas with wifi, will the radio or
boom connect? Will use a cradlepoint router when tethering. Thanks for
any repies. Have a Duet at home and love it.

It should work fine as long as the WiFi signal is strong enough and
does not require any WiFi login or acceptance of terms verification (SB
players cannot see these nor respond to these).
