Manufacturer's Description
The much-anticipated RDI is the industry’s first iPod Speaker with loaded DAB digital radio.

The visionary RDI keeps your entertainment options open with a retractable dock tray which will sit all iPod models, and integrated built in DAB/FM so you can switch between listening to your own tunes or digital radio.

The RDI has been designed with both fantastic sound quality and innovative design in mind. Mid-range speakers, tweeters and a bass-boosting 15 watt subwoofer ensure fantastic low-end response and crystal clear treble which make for providing room-filling audiophile-quality sound.

Dressed in the latest colour, high gloss piano black, the shelf-friendly RDI features a retractable dock tray for your iPod which lend clean lines and a modern, sleek shape. The RDI really does prove that cutting-edge technology and high fashion really can do hand in hand.

The much-loved remote control is a 23 key infra-red delight. Slimline and full functioning, the remote has adjustable treble and bass so you can tweak the RDI acoustics to suit, as well as a handy Menu key letting you access all your iPod settings. You can also store up to 8 radio presets using your RDI remote giving you greater sofa control.

There is also an alarm clock to boot. You can chose to wake up from your slumber to your iPod tracks, radio or an unwelcome but useful beep.

Customer Reviews

Alright, but nothing special.
The people who are giving this five stars and raving about its audio quality are deluding themselves. I played an mp3 through my iPod on this after having just played the same one on my PC. The 40-quid PC speakers sounded better. Its audio quality is nothing special, but it may be acceptable in return for the convenience of having an iPod dock and a DAB radio in the same package.

Doesn't work with my 2nd Gen ipod touch
A great item in all but one respect - check to see if it will work with your 2nd gen ipod touch - it doesn't work with mine and a couple of friends have 2nd gen touch's as well and it won't work with theirs either. It is fine with 1st gen. At the moment we don't know if it is Apple or Intempo where the problem is - Intempo say that it does work - Apple have tested my ipod and it works on other systems - just not this one. So - stalemate. Sounds like a lottery as to whether it works or not.
Update on this review:
I telephoned Intempo and recieved a replacement item (an "up to date" model) direct from them next day as promised - even though I purchased from Amazon - This one does now work. Can't complain at their service, but why are there "old" models being sold as fully compatable?

Compatible with newest generation iPods!
I have been looking for a replacement of JBL On Time because the On Time can't charge 2nd gen iPod touch, which I recently bought.

I decided to buy Intempo RDi after comparing the sound quality with competitors that I can connect with my iPod touch at the retail store.
For my impression, sound balance of RDi is at quite good level. RDi has a woofer on the back (you must be careful not to touch it when you hold RDi), but the sound is not too boomy. RDi offers a solid and clear sound.
