13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.  
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the  
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is  
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the  
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or  
has been dropped.  
15) This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Part 15 of  
the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against  
harmful interference in a residential installation. This product generates, uses, and can  
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the  
instructions, may cause harmful interference with radio communications. However,  
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If  
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which  
can be determined by turning the product on and off, the user is encouraged to try  
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antennas.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.  
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which  
the receiver is connected.  
16) If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the  
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against  
voltage surges and built-up static changes. Article 810 of the National Electrical  
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the  
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge  
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection

Model One Instructions  
Congratulations on your purchase of the Model One table radio by Henry Kloss. We  
believe the Model One to be one of the finest mono analog table radios on the

We know you are eager to use your new radio, but please take a moment to read  
this owner’s manual and Safety Instructions. If you have any questions, please do  
not hesitate to contact your dealer or Tivoli Audio.

On behalf of all of us, thank you for choosing Tivoli Audio and enjoy your new Model One!  
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 at reasonable prices. His long professional  
association with Henry Kloss included co-founding Cambridge SoundWorks*. As 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. He also held senior management positions in product development  
at 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, inventor of FM, and M.I.T.  
lab staff, he co-founded Acoustic Research in 1952. At Acoustic Research, Henry co-  
invented 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 portable phonograph. Ten years later at Advent, he designed one of the first  
projection televisions (which earned him an Emmy Award), along with one of the first  
consumer cassette decks utilizing Dolby B noise reduction**. After continuing projection  
television work at Kloss Video, Henry co-founded Cambridge SoundWorks in 1988 along  
with Tom DeVesto. In 2000, at the age of 70, Henry emerged from retirement to once  
again team-up with DeVesto to produce the original, critically acclaimed Model One  
mono table radio.

GUIDE TO FEATURES (FRONT PANEL)  
1. VOLUME KNOB: Rotate the volume knob to the right to increase the volume  
or to the left to decrease the volume. This knob also controls the volume of  
the headphone output.  
2. OFF/FM/AM/AUX KNOB: Turn the knob one click to the right to hear the FM  
band, two clicks to the right to hear the AM band, or three clicks to the right to  
select the auxiliary input.  
3. TUNING KNOB: Rotate the analog tuning dial to the right or to the left to adjust  
the FM (upper half of dial) or AM (lower half of dial) frequency range.  
4. TUNING INDICATOR: Glows bright amber when best tuning has been achieved.  
Some listenable AM stations will not light the tuning indicator and should be  
tuned by ear for the clearest signal. This light may or may not remain lit when  
in the AUX position depending upon the position of the AM dial.  
5. POWER INDICATOR: Glows green when the source knob is in any position  
other than Off.

GUIDE TO FEATURES (REAR PANEL)  
1. 12VDC/800mA: This input is for use with an optional 1A fused, 12VDC adaptor,  
for operation in a boat or camper. The connector must be 5.5mm/2.1mm center  
positive.  
2. FM ANTENNA SWITCH: Switch between internal and external FM antennas. If  
an external antenna is used, the switch should be in the External position. This  
switch has no affect on AM reception.  
3. EXTERNAL FM CONNECTION: In some cases, FM reception may be improved  
by sliding the included external FM antenna over this “F” connector and setting  
the antenna switch to External. For more, see the section marked Reception. When  
disconnecting the included FM antenna, always firmly grasp the black connector.  
Never pull on the wire itself or you may damage the antenna.  
4. EXTERNAL AM CONNECTION: In some cases, AM reception may be improved  
by connecting an external AM antenna (not included) to this jack, which accepts a  
1/8" male stereo mini connector. For more, see the section marked Reception.  
5. HEADPHONE OUT: Connect a headset (not included) to this variable stereo output  
for private listening. The headset will mute the primary speaker. The headset’s  
volume is adjusted using the volume knob. This stereo output accepts a 1/8" stereo  
male mini connector. Avoid using headphones at high volume levels to prevent  
possible hearing damage.

6. AUX IN: To hear audio from another device, such as a CD player, MP3 player, or  
computer, connect said device’s audio output to this stereo input and switch the front  
source knob to Aux. Switching to the Aux position does not turn on the connected  
device. This stereo input accepts a 1/8" stereo male mini connector. The left and  
right stereo signal is summed to mono. Note you may need to adjust the volume  
level differently for an auxiliary device than the level used for radio listening.  
7. REC OUT: You can record from the Model One radio by connecting a cassette  
deck’s audio input (or other recording device) to this fixed level stereo output. You  
can also use the Model One radio as a high performance analog tuner by connecting  
it to the audio input of a preamplifier or integrated amplifier. The primary speaker  
will not be muted when using this output. This jack accepts a 1/8" stereo male  
mini connector.  
8. 117V: Connect the included power cord to this input. When unplugging the power  
cord from the wall outlet, always grab it by the plug. We recommend using a  
powerstrip with surge protection. When disconnecting the power cord, always  
grasp it firmly at the connector. Never pull on the cord itself. Do not bundle the  
power cord together with the external FM antenna or any audio cables, as this can  
inject noise in the audio path.  
RECEPTION  
The internal FM and AM antennas will provide good reception. An optional outdoor  
antenna will provide the best possible reception. Another alternative is to use the  
supplied indoor external FM antenna or an optional FM dipole antenna with adapter.  
Locating the indoor antenna near a window or outside wall will provide better reception  
than more interior locations. Connecting your cable television 75ohm coaxial cable to  
the external FM connection may also provide clear local reception, although you must  
usually request activation of this service through your cable company.  
For AM, rotate the radio for best reception. An optional external AM wireless or wired  
antenna may provide improved AM reception.  
Buildings made with concrete, steel, or aluminum siding will hinder reception. Household  
appliances, electric blankets, computers, CD players, and other electronic devices can  
also adversely affect reception or inject noise. If you experience this, move the Model  
One radio further from the offending device or plug it into an electrical outlet not shared  
by another device. Metal surfaces may also hinder AM reception.  
PLACEMENT  
Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. Do not block the bottom bass port. The Model One  
radio is not video shielded and should be kept at least 5" away from a computer monitor  
or television. The Model One radio can be positioned vertically as well as horizontally.  
Placement in a bookcase, cabinet, or close to walls or corners may inflate the bass.

CLEANING  
Never use any harsh cleansers or solvents on your radio. Avoid spray-on waxes. Unplug  
the Model One radio prior to cleaning. The face may be cleaned with a slightly damp,  
soft cloth. Painting or staining the wood cabinet will void your warranty.  
The variations in color and grain are characteristics of real wood and give the  
cabinet its natural beauty. As a result, the cabinet's finish may not match other  
Tivoli Audio products.  
Also note some finishes, particularly walnut, may darken over time to light exposure.  
This is normal for a natural wood product.  
NOTE: If you wish to attach other speakers to the Model One radio, use only the self  
amplified variety, such as those typically used with computers.
