INTRODUCTION

   Unlike with most things in the electronics industry as a teenager growing up in the 90's i have to admit that things were somewhat more interesting when it came to home stereo systems. Back then not only was the market filled with mini and midi stereo systems but there were also countless stereo pieces with which consumers could build their very own stereo system. Yes, such parts exist even today but people put far more time and effort when out to buy a new stereo system back then (not to mention that many stereo systems originated from Japan, Germany and the UK, something which we don't see almost at all nowadays). Of course, there are quite a few interesting products in the home stereo market today and even though it's not always easy to come across one a couple of months ago i did and it’s no other than the Quadriga Internet Radio Music System by Majority.

   Founded by two friends from Cambridge in 2012, Majority has gone on to become an Amazon best-selling brand with a device in over three million homes across the globe. From the very beginning, founders, Eddie Latham, and PJ Scott’s focus has been to use ground-breaking technology to deliver quality consumer electronics at an affordable price. “Our goal has always been inclusivity” Latham and Scott use their years of know-how to continue to build a brand that designs products for a variety of budgets.

   The Quadriga is an all-in-one music system which combines a CD player with the Venice X hardware and software solution (FS2340 module) by frontier technologies which in turns offers full support for DAB/DAB+ Radio (174–240MHz), FM radio with RDS (87.5–108MHz), Smart Internet Radio (UnDOK app), Spotify Connect, Podcast Playback and Bluetooth v5.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n wireless connectivity. Majority has also equipped the Quadriga with a 2.1 speaker setup (2 full range speakers and 1 subwoofer - frequency response of 40Hz-20kHz), 2.8" color TFT Display (320x240p / dimmable), 120W digital amplifier and a telescopic aerial antenna. As for available connections the Quadriga sports a 3.5mm aux in, optical SPDIF in, analog (l/f) in and a USB port which can be used both for music playback (MP3) and charging of portable devices (500mA). Last but not least Majority covers the Quadriga Internet Radio Music System with a 3-year limited warranty and according to their package they will even plant a tree for every single one they sell.
