Gira System 55

The built-in RDS radio consists of a radio unit with a control panel and a speaker unit with a cover. The radio unit is compactly housed in a flush-mounted installation and can be installed in a single device box. The speaker can be installed in combination with the radio unit or separately in a device box. Two speakers can be connected to the radio unit.

The radio automatically detects connected speakers and switches between stereo and mono operation. The display of the control panel shows the station name, transmission frequency, and time when an appropriate RDS signal is present. The radio is operated via the capacitive buttons on the control panel, requiring only a light touch on the symbols.

The built-in RDS radio has two memory slots, allowing one station to be easily saved and recalled with a button press. Through the auxiliary input, the radio can be turned on together with the room lighting using a light switch or an automatic switch.

External audio sources, such as MP3 players, can be fed into the radio via the stereo AUX input. To connect the external audio source, an additional RCA audio input is required, which connects to the AUX terminals of the radio unit. The docking station is connected directly to the stereo AUX input for music playback. In sleep mode, the radio automatically turns off 30 minutes after being switched on.
