How about SANGEAN YAMAJIN Radio Brand introduction

Recommended models: ATS-909X, WR-12BT, Mozart
 
Shanjin is a well-known radio manufacturer in Taiwan, founded at the beginning of the production of two-band (FM and AM) traditional radios, and then entered the full-band field, not only producing high-quality radios, but also for Panasonic, Hitachi, Philips, Siemens and other large manufacturers OEM, becoming one of the world's largest professional receiver manufacturers. Although Shanjin has been established for decades and has been selling well in the European and American markets for a long time, it only entered the mainland market in 2014 and is not as well-known as Tecsun and Sony in the mainland.
 
As early as more than ten years ago, Shanjin had insight into the shrinking trend of the traditional short-wave radio market, and began to shift its product focus to high-quality basic radios, and now it is more focused on the research and development of professional digital audio, Internet radio, Bluetooth wireless audio and other related products. At present, the newly launched products are mainly functional radios, and the appearance design is very good, and has won many Red Dot Design Awards and IF Design Awards. Different from Sony's minimalist technology style, Shanjin's main focus is nostalgic retro style, and the wood grain panel and leather outer surround are a major feature of Shanjin's products.
 
FM radio enthusiasts will certainly not be unfamiliar with Yamajin's ace product ATS-909X, its predecessor ATS-909 is known as one of the three major portable radios like Sony ICF-7600GR, and because shortwave reception is its strong point, it is called the king of shortwave. When receiving shortwave radios, the ATS-909X supports automatic search for the station with the strongest signal, combined with optimized circuit design, gain control function and extended stainless steel antenna, making the machine perform better than most radios in shortwave reception. The ATS-909X uses the popular Silicon Lab DSP Si4735 chip, which has the same frequency reception range as the Tecsen PL-880 and has excellent frequency modulation performance. In terms of sound quality, ATS-909X has a built-in 3-inch full-range speaker and UTC's TA640APL power amplifier chip, the sound is clear and bright, and the selling price is 1699 yuan.
 
Shanjin's main product is the Bluetooth audio radio Mozart, its positioning is similar to Elvis's Little Prince, with a relatively retro design, there are log and metal versions, and the price is about 100 yuan more expensive than the Little Prince. Compared with the roundness and cuteness of the little prince, Mozart is more dignified. From the point of view of craftsmanship, the log version of Mozart is better than the Little Prince, and the walnut shell is made of polished whole walnut, the whole body is smooth and flawless, and the wood grain is clearly recognizable. Mozart doesn't disappoint in terms of sound quality either, with a thick and full-bodied low end and a clear and non-harsh midrange, making it particularly suitable for vocal playback. In addition, Mozart's battery life has reached 30 hours, far exceeding the average Bluetooth speaker radio, thanks to a 2200mHA 18650 battery, which is more stable and durable than ordinary lithium batteries, and easy to replace. However, Mozart only has a basic FM radio function, the price is 489 yuan, whether it is a basic radio or Bluetooth audio or indoor furnishings, it is a good choice, suitable for users who are satisfied with the basic radio function, and have high requirements for appearance and sound quality.
 
Shanjin also has professional-grade bluetooth speakersWR-12BT, in addition to the radio performance is stronger than Mozart, because it is equipped with 2 2.25 inches and 1 3.5 inch full-range speakers, the sound quality is better than Mozart, the price is about 1800 yuan.
