Product Description

Whether you're looking for a CD player to compliment your Tivoli Audio Model Two Stereo Radio, or your Model Three Clock Radio, or are in need of a compact CD player to add to a home stereo system, the Model CD satisfies on all counts. Its unique front-loading slot design permits more placement flexibility over larger, tray-loading players, or pop-open top designs. The cherry wood cabinet is a refreshing change from the sterile, metal boxes so ubiquitous in electronics stores. And as is the tradition with all Tivoli Audio products, the Model CD couldn't be easier to use. Features include a large, easy to read front panel display paired with the primary controls. The credit card sized remote control adds Shuffle, Repeat, Volume, Intro, and Direct Track Access functions. On the inside, the Model CD yields excellent sound quality and superb shock protection. The back panel includes full size RCA outputs and a 1/8 stereo headphone output for private listening. The Model CD will play any standard CD as well as CDR. Includes AC adapter and stereo RCA to stereo 1/8 mini plug connecting cable and credit card remote control.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
The Tivoli Henry Kloss Model Two Radio with companion speaker, the Tivoli Model Subwoofer, and the Tivoli Model CD are designed to be used together as part of a complete compact stereo system but are sold separately.

All the elements of the component system have classic styling that makes Tivoli products so distinctive. Simplicity and elegance are engineered into all three components and, for the most part, we came away impressed with what this little system could do in terms of sound quality, as well as its ease of use. It's worth noting here that all three components sport separate ports for AC and DC power, making them a great choice for boating or RV use.

Henry Kloss Model Two
The Model Two serves as the base unit for the Tivoli component system. It is very similar to the Model Three clock radio, without the alarm clock section. Like other Tivoli radios, the Model Two is just over 8 inches wide, 4.5 inches high, and 5.25 inches deep--about the size of a toaster turned on its side. The unit also ships with a companion speaker which, unlike the monaural Henry Kloss Model One, gives the system full stereo separation.



The Tivoli Model Two with companion speaker.
The Model Two has a single rotary dial that handles tuning for both AM and FM stations. The dial is designed to move between stations at a speed that's a bit slower than the speed at which the user turns the knob--a five-to-one ratio, to be exact. This ratio dialing technique makes it far easier to tune stations accurately and quickly. It's a nice touch that sets the unit apart from other desktop radios. The tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control, and they're well designed for hands of all sizes. A small LED power indicator, as well as an LED that helps determine signal strength, are positioned between the dials. We did have one gripe about the Model Two controls, though--the same gripe we had about the Model Three. Unlike the high-contrast labeling we found on the Platinum Series Model One radio, the Model Two's blue-gray lettering atop a taupe background is difficult to read, especially in low-light situations.

The Model Two's 3-inch driver is housed next to the tuning dial and is protected by a handsome metal speaker cover. The companion speaker contains the same driver in a form factor that is the same size and construction as the Model Two's main unit. A 15-foot RCA speaker cord attached to the companion speaker allows you to set the speakers well apart in a room--great for getting optimal stereo separation. There's a small balance dial on the rear of the main unit as well as a mono-stereo switch.

A coaxial antenna jack for the included FM antenna wire is provided, although the Model Two also has an internal FM antenna. Tivoli recommends using the supplied external antenna for tricky tuning in locales with a lot of closely spaced stations. There's a handy switch for alternating between the internal and external antennae, as well. A standard 3.5-millimeter headphone jack is also provided, as is a 3.5-millimeter auxiliary line-in port for plugging in the Model CD. For the really techno-savvy, there's also a 3.5-millimeter mixing input that permits audio from your computer to be mixed with the radio. A preamp-out jack is provided for the Model Subwoofer, and if you want to use the Model Two as a component tuner--not a bad idea given the overall quality and accuracy of the tuning circuitry--Tivoli has provided a 3.5-millimeter output port.



The Subwoofer adds rich bass to the Model Two.
Model Subwoofer
At 6.5 inches high, 9.5 inches wide, and 6.1 inches deep, the Model Subwoofer is a bit larger than the other components in the Tivoli system. While a 5.25-inch bass driver dominates the front of the unit, there's also a deep front port for added bass response. A bass-level dial lets you decide how much of the low end you want to hear. The on-off switch has a sensor that automatically activates the subwoofer when a signal is detected. With 20 watts of power, the Model Subwoofer is an impressive little box with the capability of dramatically extending the fullness and richness of the Model Two sound.

Model CD
With its cherry wood casing, Tivoli's component CD player matches the Model Two perfectly while offering equally simple operation. We really liked the elegant slot-loading mechanism; it felt solid and reliable. Basic functions like play, stop, and track selection can be controlled on the unit. There's also a tiny little remote that adds shuffle, direct track selection, repeat, and intro-scanning functions. True to form, the remote is simple and easy to use. The Model CD's display is bright and crisp with the look of a high-end audiophile-class component. We played a number of CDs, including CD-R discs with nary a hitch. Tivoli says that the Model CD will not play CD-RW discs, however.



The Tivoli CD is elegant and capable.
A 3.5-millimeter headset jack is provided on the back of the unit, as are RCA outputs and an AC power port that connects to a supplied brick-style AC adapter. The unit is also capable of running on DC power.

All Together Now
Setting up the component system was fairly straightforward. All of the inputs and outputs are clearly marked, and each component ships with everything you need to make the right connections. Although it might be too much to ask for, it would be great if the Model Two main unit had an AC power input for plugging in at least one of the components. This is admittedly a minor quibble, and it might not be feasible in such a small device.

Just like our experiences with other Tivoli products, sound was impressive--full of clear highs and mids and rich, room-filling lows. The Model Two tuning feature felt less accurate than the Model One, but we still were able to dial in stations quickly and easily. Overall, we recommend the Model Two as a high-quality mini-component system, because systems this size rarely sound this good. Even without the subwoofer engaged, the sound was rich and resonant. As soon as we plugged in the subwoofer, though, we were transported to near sonic bliss. It's a must-have accessory for the Model Two.--Joshua Gunn

Pros

  • Simple, stylish construction on all the component parts
  • Great sound from such a compact system; good tuning accuracy
  • Subwoofer option adds exceptional dynamic range
Cons
  • Tuner is slightly less accurate than the Model One


Customer Reviews

great for its intended purpose5
Having come across the three preceding reviews, I feel obliged to correct the negative impression they leave. I bought one of the first Model CDs to be made, and it had a design problem. It didn't play all CDs and the drive mechanism was flaky. But it SOUNDED terrific - high resolution and warm, balanced sound - one of the best digital/analog converters I've ever heard.

I contacted the company immediately and learned that they were having problems with many units and that they were already in the process of fixing the design problem. They said that they could send a replacement immediately, but I opted to wait until they knew they had fixed the problem. At that time, they shipped me a new unit and allowed me to return the old one in the same packing materials.

It was a pain to wait for, but well worth it. This is a simple, "bare-bones" CD player that is perfectly matched to the Model One. The design problem was part hardware and part software, and it is completely fixed. What's amazing is how good the music sounds. If that's what you're looking for, you'd be foolish to ignore this CD player because of the other reviews. They are not wrong, but collectively they leave the wrong impression about this CD player. For the price, I doubt you can find any CD player that sounds this good.

Worthwhile addition to your Model Two radio, but...3
Like the previous writer, I also had trouble with my first Model CD that was attributed to a "software error." Tivoli had it picked up, and sent me another, which has been trouble-free. I've had it connected to a Tivoli Model Two radio ever since.

The Model CD is fine, within its design limits. It sounds great, and the slot-loading mechanism (like a car player) is handy, but the player is pretty spartan when it comes to convenience features. There is no track programming, the display is rudimentary, and some functions (direct track access, and volume control, for example) are accessible only from the tiny remote control, and not from the player's front panel.

For use with Tivoli's Model Two or Model Three radios, the Model CD is a worthwhile addition. It matches them in appearance and build quality, and its operation is simple. For use with more conventional stereo or home theater gear however, there are choices that offer equally good sound and more convenience features, but for fewer dollars.

in love with this terrific tiny system!5
I've recently purchased a Tivoli model two, cd and subwoofer and I can honestly say that I am in love! This system is simple to use, has terrific sound quality and is BEAUTIFUL to look at. I must admit, having such great sound eminating from these tiny wooden boxes was a wonderful surprise, because what initial attracted me to them were their aesthetic wonder! The model two is definitely the centre piece and it's a real joy simply to turn it's dials and adjust it's knobs- it speaks of quality and an age-old construction and is a far cry from how other units in general are built- smooth, substantial and a real smooth feel- you jsut know that when you are looking for a station that this unit is really working to lock onto it and keep it there! As to the cd player- it fits in perfectly with the model 2 and if you can afford it by all means buy it! It is wonderfully minimal (as is the entire Tivoli line) and dispenses with all the gidgets and gazmos found on just about every mini-system made today. It sucks your cd in (as a car cd player does) and produces a smooth wonderful sound. It's tiny remote (again fashioned after Henry Klosses remotes from teh past) All you really have to do is lift one of the units to feel how solidly built -their surprisingly heaviness screems out what great components they have (no cheap plastic parts here!). The subwoofer really adds a great soft punch to the music- I was really afraid about this part of the unit from what I've read from some reviewers online. Honestly, I've no idea what they were expecting. There is definitely a big difference once the bass unit is added! I'm now so in love I'm wanting to add a model three to my "collection"! A truly great investment- these pieces will be with me for a very long time- their timeless looks alone will see to that!
