At 114 by 143 by 99 mm and 582 g it takes up little space, and the two alarms sit on dedicated slide switches rather than buried in a menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full-colour TFT display is what you notice first. It shows station information and the time as a proper graphical readout rather than a row of segments, and brightness is adjustable so it can be bright in daylight and discreet at night.

The Ortus 5 has a full-colour TFT LCD, which means station information, the clock and the menus are laid out properly rather than abbreviated into whatever the segments allow. Brightness is adjustable, so the same screen works in a bright room during the day and dims down for the night. It is a small change that makes the radio easier to live with.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo alarms, two switches:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ortus 5 gives each alarm a slide switch on the body of the radio. You can tell whether an alarm is set without waking the screen or entering a menu, which is exactly what you want at half past eleven at night. Each alarm can be set to DAB, FM or buzzer, alarm volume runs from 1 to 32, and a dedicated button gives you nine more minutes when you need them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEverything a bedside socket needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beyond the radio itself, the Ortus 5 is built to be the only thing plugged in beside the bed. A USB Type-A output delivers 5 V at 1 A for a phone overnight. Bluetooth 5.2 with AAC covers podcasts and playlists, and a 3.5 mm aux input is there for anything wired, with a stereo headphone output for late listening. The clock sets itself automatically, so the time is right after a power cut, and standby draws less than 0.8 W.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eListening Need\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrtus 5 Technology\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePractical Benefit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaking up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo independent alarm timers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet two wake times on separate slide switches, each to DAB, FM or buzzer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReading the screen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull-colour TFT display\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStation information and the clock stay legible, with brightness you can turn down for the night\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharging a phone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB Type-A output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 V at 1 A charges a phone overnight without a second plug beside the bed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlaying from a phone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBluetooth 5.2 with AAC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePodcasts and playlists stream wirelessly from a phone or tablet through the 50 mm driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWired sources\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 mm aux input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA record player, CD deck or laptop connects by cable when Bluetooth is not wanted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack bedrooms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal telescopic aerial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAn extendable aerial for both DAB and FM helps where digital reception is marginal indoors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStrengths\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAB, DAB+ and FM RDS with 40 presets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-colour TFT display with adjustable brightness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo alarms on dedicated slide switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth 5.2 with SBC and AAC codecs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5 mm aux input and headphone output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB Type-A output charges a phone overnight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandby power below 0.8 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConsiderations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMains only.
