THE HISTORY.  Motorola, founded in 1928 by Paul V. Galvin and his brother Joseph, has woven a history of emotion and excellence in the world of radios. In 1929, the launch of the first car radio marked the beginning of a revolutionary era, named "Motorola" to combine the concept of "motor" and "victrola". In the 1930s, the company established itself as a leader in the production of car radios, channeling sound into motion. In 1937, Motorola expanded its horizon by introducing lines of home radios and two-way communication devices. During the 1950s, the company excelled in the semiconductor industry, solidifying its position at the forefront of communications and consumer electronics. In 1947, the company adopted its new headquarters in Schaumburg, Illinois, USA. Innovation was relentless, culminating in the launch of the first transistor radio in 1956, a turning point in the history of communications. The Quasar brand, introduced in 1967, also highlighted Motorola's dedication to the cutting edge, with transistor televisions that made history. Despite challenges, such as the sale of Quasar in 1974, Motorola persevered. In 1999, the acquisition of General Instruments further consolidated its position. Motorola's story is a compelling journey, where radios have been the beating heart of a company that has transcended time, channeling quality and innovation across the waves of the air.

15 HOUR RECHARGEABLE INTERNAL BATTERY. Each radio example is equipped with a high quality lithium battery capable of playing music for 15 hours continuously. Recharging it is very simple, using a normal power cable supplied free of charge.

TOTAL COMPATIBILITY. 100% compatible with all Apple and Android smartphones. Tablet, PC, Mac and any other device with a Bluetooth connection. We are the only ones in the sector able to offer a customized Bluetooth receiver at hardware level: we program it for each individual radio so that the name of the Bluetooth connection is exactly that of our brand and not a generic name.

EXCITE, AMAZE, CONQUER. The emotion of giving new life to a piece of history with the gestures of the last century. The new Bluetooth system starts simply by turning the original radio power knob and the volume is also adjustable from the knob.
