About Tivoli Audio

Tivoli Audio was founded by Tom DeVesto with the mission of bringing simple to use, elegantly designed, high quality audio products to consumers. As CEO and head of research and development at his former company, Cambridge SoundWorks, 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 1950s 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. Here, Henry helped 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.

BATTERY BACK UP: Remove the battery cover and install a fresh major brand 1.5V AA alkaline battery, observing correct +/ polarity. The clock operates off of the battery continu9

ously and the battery also acts as a back up. In the event of a power failure, the battery back up will maintain the clocks operation and sound the wake-up tone if the alarm button is in the On position, provided a fresh battery is correctly installed. The clock face will not illuminate and the radio will not operate during a power failure in order to conserve battery life. Check the batterys strength annually and replace only with a major brand, 1.5V AA alkaline battery. If the clock stops operating, replace the battery. To reduce the risk of fire or injury, do not leave a dead battery in the clock. Do not dispose of the spent battery into a fire. Do not open or tamper with the battery. Do not recharge the supplied battery. Dispose of the spent battery according to your state/country's regulations. Remove the battery if the Model Three is to be stored or unused for a long period of time. See also How to set the clock.

How To Set The Clock

How To Set The Alarm
1. Rotate the alarm thumbwheel counter-clockwise and set the alarm hand to the approximate time you wish to wake to. DO NOT TURN THE ALARM BEZEL CLOCKWISE OR YOU MAY DAMAGE THE MECHANISM. 2. Turn the source knob to AM or FM and tune to a station that will be broadcasting during the set wake-up time. Set the volume to the desired level you wish to wake to. If you prefer to wake to the tone, set the source knob to Aux instead of AM or FM. 3. Press the Alarm button ON. The green alarm LED will light and the radio sound will turn off. The radio will turn back on when the clock time roughly coincides with the setting of the alarm hand. If the Alarm is in the ON position and the source knob is in the OFF position, the tone will sound during the set wake-up time. If the Alarm is in the ON position and there is a power failure, the tone will sound inlieu of the radio during the set wake-up time, provided a fresh battery is properly installed. 4. To turn the Alarm OFF, press the Alarm button again and the Alarm LED will extinguish. Important Note: Due to the nature of the alarm thumbwheels analog mechanism, which was designed for simplicity, there can be up to a five-minute deviation from when the alarm activates. For example, if the alarm is set for 10:00, it is possible it could activate at 9:55 or 10:05. We recommend you set the alarm early the first time you use it to accommodate for this. As you use your Model Three you will get a better idea of where you need to set the alarm in order to wake-up at the desired time.

A Word About Radio Reception
The displays backlight and contrast are controlled automatically via a small sensor in the lower For difficult FM reception conditions, if an outdoor antenna is not an option, attach the included antenna to the external FM antenna jack on the back panel and set the switch to External. Alternately, an FM dipole antenna or amplified indoor FM antenna may be used. The best place to locate an indoor antenna is near a window or outside wall. Sometimes just reorienting the radio will improve reception. Since the power cord acts as an extension of the internal FM antenna, moving the power cord may also improve reception. Connecting your cable television wire to the external antenna jack may also provide clear local FM reception, although you usually must request activation of this service through your local cable company. Although there is no connection to wire an external AM antenna, a wireless AM loop antenna (not included) often provides better AM reception than most wire-type AM antennas. Reorienting or relocating the radio sometimes improves AM reception as well. Note the rear panel External switch has no affect on 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 cause noise. If you experience this, plug the Model Three into an outlet not shared by another device or move it further away from the offending device. Metal surfaces may hinder AM reception.

Placement:

Placing your Model Three inside a bookshelf or against a wall will inflate the bass as well as confine the speakers output. For best sound reproduction, allow the sound from the speaker to emit without restriction. Do not place objects over the speaker grille. Do not obstruct the rear bass port. The Model Three is magnetically shielded but it is best kept at least 5 away from a computer monitor or television set.

Cleaning:

Never use harsh cleaners or solvents or abrasive pads. The face may be cleaned with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Take care not to rub too hard. For the wood cabinet, liquid polish usually yields better results than spray-on waxes. Do not use glass cleaner or other chemicals to clean the clocks window. Painting or staining the cabinet is not recommended and will void your warranty. NOTE: Tivoli Audio cabinets use real wood veneers. Since natural wood varies greatly, it is not possible to achieve an exact wood color/grain match between models. You may also notice the wood darken over time with exposure to sunlight. Again, this is normal for real wood.

For best sound reproduction, allow the sound from the speaker to reflect off of a ceiling without restriction. Do not place objects over the speaker grille. Do not obstruct the rear bass port. The Model Three is not magnetically shielded and should be kept at least 5 away from a computer monitor or television set. Cleaning: Never use harsh cleansers or solvents or abrasive pads. The face may be cleaned with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Take care not to rub too hard. For the wood cabinet, liquid polish usually yields better results than spray-on waxes. Painting or staining the cabinet is not recommended and will void your warranty. Since the cabinet is natural wood, it is not always possible to achieve an exact color/grain match between the main unit and other Tivoli Audio products. You may also notice the wood darken over time. Do not use glass cleaner or other chemicals to clean the clocks window.

About Tivoli Audio: Tivoli Audio was started by Model Three designerTom DeVesto with the goal of bringing simple to use, highquality audio products to the consumer at reasonable prices. His long professional association with Henry Kloss includes co-founding Cambridge SoundWorks*. As the 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 today. He also held senior management positions in product development for both Advent and Kloss Video. Henry Kloss (1929-2002) began his long love affair with audio back in the early 1950s 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, the inventor of FM, and M.I.T. lab staff, he co-founded Acoustic Research in 1952. Here, Henry helped develop 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 he founded Advent where, along with great sounding speakers, he produced one of the first projection televisions (which later earned him an Emmy) and one of the first consumer cassette decks with Dolby* B noise reduction. Kloss Video entered the picture in 1977. After Kloss Video, Henry co-founded Cambridge SoundWorks in 1988 along with long-time associate Tom DeVesto, offering factory direct savings in hi-fi and manufacturing the number-one selling multimedia speakers. In 2000, at the age of 70, Henry emerged from retirement to once again team-up with DeVesto to produce the critically acclaimed Model One mono table radio.
