Congratulations on your purchase of The Model Three.
We believe the Model Three to be one of the finest AM/FM clock radios available. Henry Kloss dedicated over half his life introducing people to the joy of music through his finely crafted, hi-fidelity products. From his classic AR speakers of the 1950’s, to the Model 8 table radio of the 60’s, to the Tivoli Audio radios of today, he consistently impressed consumers and critics alike with the quality and value of his offerings.
In order to take full advantage of what your new Model Three is capable of, please take a moment to fully read this owner’s manual. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact your dealer or Tivoli Audio directly. It is a good idea to 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 clock radio!
About Tivoli Audio:
Tivoli Audio was started by Model Three designerTom 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 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 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, 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 por- table 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 mul- timedia 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.
