Roberts' RD9 Gemini 9 DAB digital clock radio offers both FM and DAB Band III reception in a neat, well-designed unit.

The RD9 (also called the Gemini 9) is compact, sitting just three inches high off the table. There's an easy-to-read backlit display, with adjustable backlight intensity. Station information scrolls - albeit rather slowly - across the dual-line backlit orange display and, at the press of a button, the listener can switch between time and date, signal strength and programme type information.

Five preset buttons mounted along the top of the unit give direct access to stations on DAB and FM (each waveband has 5 presets). Volume is controlled by two adjacent up-down buttons and a large tuning rocker enables you to browse through stations and, if you prefer, the unit can jump to a selected station after a few seconds.

The Roberts Gemini RD9 also features RDS RadioText, autosearch on DAB and autotune on FM.

Switching between DAB and FM is accomplished by a small button on the front of the Roberts Gemini 9. Alarm settings can be set using the "info" button on top of the unit, coupled with the tuning and select buttons. It's very straightforward to set sleep time, alarm settings and single alarm mode (where you can decide to wake to radio or tone).

Considering its size, the Roberts RD9 Gemini 9 produces quite an amazingly authoritative sound. Speech stations make for a great listen - without sibilance - the Gemini's small speaker offering impressive bass response. Pop stations sound balanced and very listenable, the sound neither too brash or tiresome. A comparison with their FM equivalents here in Sydney, DAB output sounds much more refined, with the treble on FM sometimes a little overbearing, however this isn't a problem on DAB. Of course, there's only one upward-facing speaker, but a headphone socket is provided for stereo listening.

Overall, the Roberts Gemini 9 offers the best of both worlds - DAB and FM - in one box. It's a sensibly-sized radio with a good list of features.
