MINI rocks sonoro Limited Edition Internet Radio

Following a close collaboration with German manufacturer of design audio products sonoro audio, MINI has just announced availability of an Internet radio that stays true to the company’s “Creative Use of Space” philosophy. Dubbed MINI rocks sonoro, this limited edition of the "elements W" Internet radio comes with four preset MINI SOUNDS Webradio channels.

In terms of design, the wood casing is finished in the new Eclipse Grey metallic exterior lacquerer from MINI, complete with original MINI bonnet stripes. The acrylic front panel features controls in brushed aluminium and the golden, energy-saving OLED display is dimmable and easy to read in daylight or at night.

The MINI rocks sonoro limited edition of the elements W Internet radio receives over 18,000 Webradio stations via WiFi or LAN. It also includes an alarm clock, sleep and snooze functions, Radio Frequency remote control and eDock external iPod docking station with charging function. Other highlights include an integrated digital equalizer, solid wood casing, bass reflex tube and 3-inch full range speaker.

“For all fans of good music, MINI broadcasts on four new Webradio channels. MINI SPACE provides a prime selection of alternative tracks not common in the mainstream. MINI UNITED mixes chart-topping hits with some timeless classics thrown in. MINI INTERNATIONAL offers lounge music from around the world with chillaxing beats to transport you to a calmer place. And MINI CROSS satisfies the musical appetite of hard rock fans everywhere. The four channels come as presets in the MINI rocks sonoro limited edition of the elements W Internet radio,” a compani statement reads.
