Blaupunkt boombox BB16PK

BB16PK is a portable boombox that lets you enjoy your favourite music wherever you like and allows playback of many different formats. You can listen to CDs, FM radio, connect a USB memory or any other sound source via the AUX connector. This model also lets you play any material recorded on analogue cassettes.

This portable radio player enables playback of all audio CDs, finalised CD-R discs with saved MP3 files and CD-RW rewritable discs. The player features a quick-select function when a disc contains more than 10 tracks. This is a very useful feature when playing a large number of tracks saved in MP3. format. It is also possible to switch between folders, which greatly speeds up finding the desired track. Additionally, you can programme your own playlist – with a standard disc you can set the playing order for 20 tracks, and up to 99 for MP3. files. Repeat functions for a single track, the whole disc, a folder and random playback are also available. The 'Intro' function plays the first 10 seconds of each track saved on the disc.

The built-in FM tuner can store up to 40 radio stations in memory. It is possible to scan radio stations and save them automatically to memory. A manual mode is also available, which lets you store favourite radio stations under a number chosen by the user.

BB16PK also has a USB socket for connecting any storage media with saved MP3. files. The player will automatically decode and play tracks saved on the portable USB memory. Playback options are exactly the same as for CDs.

This boombox is one of the few on the market that also features cassette playback. It is therefore possible to play music, audiobooks and any other material saved on these analogue media. The player also has recording functions, so if you want to capture a radio programme or any other material from the CD or USB player, this device makes it possible.

Additionally, an AUX socket on the rear of the casing lets you connect any other device with an analogue audio output. A simple connection is all it takes to enjoy noticeably better sound quality.

Next to the AUX socket is a headphone socket, which lets you connect an optional headset and enjoy discreet listening to any chosen sound source.

BB16PK has a built-in amplifier with a total output power of 3 W RMS and can be powered either from the mains or by 6 replaceable batteries. This means the device can serve as a stationary player or as a portable source of entertainment.
