ABOUT TIVOLI AUDIO
Tivoli Audio was started by Tom DeVesto with the goal of bringing simple to use, high
quality audio products to the consumer at reasonable prices. His long professional
association with Henry Kloss included co-founding Cambridge SoundWorks*. As CEO
and head of research and development at his former company, Tom was responsible
for the development of many of the best selling home entertainment and multi-media
products on the market. He also held senior management positions in product development
at both Advent and Kloss Video.
Henry Kloss (1929-2002) began his long love affair with audio back in the early 1950’s
when, as a student at M.I.T., he began building speaker enclosures for fellow students
who wanted to exploit the sound of live FM broadcasts of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra. With encouragement from Major Edwin Armstrong, inventor of FM, and M.I.T.
lab staff, he co-founded Acoustic Research in 1952. At Acoustic Research, Henry co-
invented the revolutionary AR1 acoustic suspension loudspeaker, which forever changed
the way audio was reproduced. In 1957 he went on to co-found KLH where he introduced
audio enthusiasts to the Model Six loudspeaker, Model Eight FM table radio, and the
Model 11 portable phonograph. Ten years later at Advent, he designed one of the first
projection televisions (which earned him an Emmy Award), along with one of the first
consumer cassette decks utilizing Dolby B noise reduction**. After continuing projection
television work at Kloss Video, Henry co-founded Cambridge SoundWorks in 1988 along
with Tom DeVesto. In 2000, at the age of 70, Henry emerged from retirement to once
again team-up with DeVesto to produce the original, critically acclaimed Model One
mono table radio.

GUIDE TO FEATURES (FRONT PANEL)
1. VOLUME KNOB: Rotate the volume knob to the right to increase the volume
or to the left to decrease the volume. This knob also controls the volume of
the headphone output.
2. OFF/FM/AM/AUX KNOB: Turn the knob one click to the right to hear the FM
band, two clicks to the right to hear the AM band, or three clicks to the right to
select the auxiliary input.
3. TUNING KNOB: Rotate the analog tuning dial to the right or to the left to adjust
the FM (upper half of dial) or AM (lower half of dial) frequency range.
4. TUNING INDICATOR: Glows bright amber when best tuning has been achieved.
Some listenable AM stations will not light the tuning indicator and should be
tuned by ear for the clearest signal. This light may or may not remain lit when
in the AUX position depending upon the position of the AM dial.
5. POWER INDICATOR: Glows green when the source knob is in any position
other than Off.

GUIDE TO FEATURES (REAR PANEL)
1. 12VDC/800mA: This input is for use with an optional 1A fused, 12VDC adaptor,
for operation in a boat or camper. The connector must be 5.5mm/2.1mm center
positive.
2. FM ANTENNA SWITCH: Switch between internal and external FM antennas. If
an external antenna is used, the switch should be in the External position. This
switch has no affect on AM reception.
3. EXTERNAL FM CONNECTION: In some cases, FM reception may be improved
by sliding the included external FM antenna over this “F” connector and setting
the antenna switch to External. For more, see the section marked Reception. When
disconnecting the included FM antenna, always firmly grasp the black connector.
Never pull on the wire itself or you may damage the antenna.
4. EXTERNAL AM CONNECTION: In some cases, AM reception may be improved
by connecting an external AM antenna (not included) to this jack, which accepts a
1/8" male stereo mini connector. For more, see the section marked Reception.
5. HEADPHONE OUT: Connect a headset (not included) to this variable stereo output
for private listening. The headset will mute the primary speaker. The headset’s
volume is adjusted using the volume knob. This stereo output accepts a 1/8" stereo
male mini connector. Avoid using headphones at high volume levels to prevent
possible hearing damage.

6. AUX IN: To hear audio from another device, such as a CD player, MP3 player, or
computer, connect said device’s audio output to this stereo input and switch the front
source knob to Aux. Switching to the Aux position does not turn on the connected
device. This stereo input accepts a 1/8" stereo male mini connector. The left and
right stereo signal is summed to mono. Note you may need to adjust the volume
level differently for an auxiliary device than the level used for radio listening.
7. REC OUT: You can record from the Model One radio by connecting a cassette
deck’s audio input (or other recording device) to this fixed level stereo output. You
can also use the Model One radio as a high performance analog tuner by connecting
it to the audio input of a preamplifier or integrated amplifier. The primary speaker
will not be muted when using this output. This jack accepts a 1/8" stereo male
mini connector.
8. 117V: Connect the included power cord to this input. When unplugging the power
cord from the wall outlet, always grab it by the plug. We recommend using a
powerstrip with surge protection. When disconnecting the power cord, always
grasp it firmly at the connector. Never pull on the cord itself. Do not bundle the
power cord together with the external FM antenna or any audio cables, as this can
inject noise in the audio path.
RECEPTION
The internal FM and AM antennas will provide good reception. An optional outdoor
antenna will provide the best possible reception. Another alternative is to use the
supplied indoor external FM antenna or an optional FM dipole antenna with adapter.
Locating the indoor antenna near a window or outside wall will provide better reception
than more interior locations. Connecting your cable television 75ohm coaxial cable to
the external FM connection may also provide clear local reception, although you must
usually request activation of this service through your cable company.
For AM, rotate the radio for best reception. An optional external AM wireless or wired
antenna may provide improved AM reception.
Buildings made with concrete, steel, or aluminum siding will hinder reception. Household
appliances, electric blankets, computers, CD players, and other electronic devices can
also adversely affect reception or inject noise. If you experience this, move the Model
One radio further from the offending device or plug it into an electrical outlet not shared
by another device. Metal surfaces may also hinder AM reception.
PLACEMENT
Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. Do not block the bottom bass port. The Model One
radio is not video shielded and should be kept at least 5" away from a computer monitor
or television. The Model One radio can be positioned vertically as well as horizontally.
Placement in a bookcase, cabinet, or close to walls or corners may inflate the bass.

CLEANING
Never use any harsh cleansers or solvents on your radio. Avoid spray-on waxes. Unplug
the Model One radio prior to cleaning. The face may be cleaned with a slightly damp,
soft cloth. Painting or staining the wood cabinet will void your warranty.
The variations in color and grain are characteristics of real wood and give the
cabinet its natural beauty. As a result, the cabinet's finish may not match other
Tivoli Audio products.
Also note some finishes, particularly walnut, may darken over time to light exposure.
This is normal for a natural wood product.
NOTE: If you wish to attach other speakers to the Model One radio, use only the self
amplified variety, such as those typically used with computers.
