Gende used to be the king in the minds of many radio enthusiasts, and countless brands vied with each other to imitate the object, performance, appearance, workmanship, sound quality and other aspects are unbeatable, but now the Grunde radio brand has been acquired by Eaton, and now the models that can be bought on the market are OEM products, with Eton Grundig as the trademark.
The representative product of the glorious period of Gende is the S700, which is regarded as a god machine by radio enthusiasts due to its rigorous craftsmanship, top-notch sound quality and ultra-high reception performance. The YB series is another classic product line of Gende, and the YB400 is its masterpiece, which is one of the world's three largest portable radios. The YB400 was the model and benchmark for portable radios at the time, and its performance and tone were industry-leading. The chip used in YB400 is Sanyo's LA1205 chip, and its performance can be said to be as good as Sony's chip. Now that the YB400 has been discontinued, there is no brand new product available on the market.
Radio enthusiasts say that the current Gende is no longer the Gende of the past, but after all, the core technology is still there, so it is still a grade higher than the radios on the market.
At present, the main product line of Gende is the NGW series, including the pocket-sized MINI G1, the portable Traveler III, the desktop Field BT and the audio-visual Executive Satellit. Among them, Executive Satellit uses Toshiba's TA7358 chip, which has medium and upper performance, and uses Si4735 DSP chip, which has a good receiving capacity, and its performance is similar to Desheng PL-880, but the price is very high, and the foreign price is 200 US dollars, which can only be purchased online or purchased overseas.
