PAL/iPAL Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase of a truly unique entertainment product. We believe the
rechargeable and weather resistant Portable Audio Laboratory (PAL) is one of the finest
portable audio products on the market. It is sure to enhance your radio listening experience
at home or on the go. Legendary audio inventor Henry Kloss dedicated over half of his life
introducing people to the joy of music through his finely crafted, hi-fidelity products. From
his classic AR speakers of the 50’s, to the Model 8 table radio of the 60’s, to the current
Tivoli Audio radios, Henry consistently impressed consumers and critics alike with the
quality and value of his offerings.
In order to take full advantage of what your new radio is capable of, please take a moment
to read this owner’s manual and the safety instructions. If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact your dealer or Tivoli Audio directly.
Please save the carton and original packing should you ever need to ship your radio,
as shipping damage is not covered by the factory warranty.
On behalf of all of us, thank you for choosing Tivoli Audio, and enjoy your new PAL!
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. 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 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. Tom is uniquely qualified to
introduce Henry Kloss’ designs.
Portable Audio Laboratory designer 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 the M.I.T. lab staff and Major
Edwin Armstrong, the inventor of FM, 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 Model 11 portable phonograph. Ten years later he founded Advent where, along with
great sounding speakers, he produced one of the first projection TVs (which he won an
Emmy for) 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, bringing factory-direct
savings in hi-fi and producing the number-one selling multi-media 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.
