I have Tempus and XT models, the speaker only works if you plug it into the headphone socket, it also seems very quiet for the size of the speaker. Tried plugging it into my laptop as well, still very quiet.
I think it is going back.

Just in case you missed it yesterday.

Solder another socket to the left and right pin of the aux socket and insert a blank 3.5mm plug in to the original aux.





They are not compatible with the 1XT, only the S.

You can insert a fake Jack then solder a new socket to the far left and right pin of the socket on the xt main board. That's what I have done.

Got this back from Pure "The S1 speaker is not compatible with the Evoke 1xt or the 1xt range of radios that we have previously manufactured. The S1 speaker has been designed to work with the 1s range, you would require a xt1 speaker for your radio. "

Just tried and it works! But there seems to be some resistance, maybe a spring in the socket stopping it from being left pulled out slightly, it pops all the way out instead so I don't think tape would work.

I'll see if I have an extension cable or adapter I can try with it.

Just tried the - not quite pushing it all the way in - technique and it works. looks like the jack size is slightly different. Thinking about putting some tape on top of the female side to stop the jack going ll he way in.

Might be a different size jack - I've emailed Pure to ask them is they are compatible. Hopefully they will get back to me tomorrow.

Mine came today too. I have an Evoke 1xt. Doesn't work when plugged in but I did notice it works if you hold the plug in just the right place, about 1-2mm from 'all the way in'. No way to get it to stay there though. :disappointed:

That can't just be a coincidence, maybe it's not compatible then but surely it's got the power to get some sound out of it. I'll have to try and find the specs of the 1XT speaker to see if they're different or not.

I also plugged mine into the output of my Evoke 1XT also and no sound came out of it. Tried my mobile phone and some sound came out but very quiet. I'm not sure if the 1XT has the current output to drive the speaker or the speaker is faulty. I'll try and ring Pure tomorrow to see if they are compatible

For any one who has this is the volume as loud as the radio speaker? I got mine today for the Evoke 1XT, plugged it into the aux speaker socket and couldn't tell the difference. There's no thump from the speaker like you would expect. I plugged it into my phone and on full volume just got some sound out of it but it's very very quiet! I think I have a faulty one :disappointed:

Build quality is excellent, I'm impressed.

Thanks again, MV5592, it's a top bargain.

Now £19.95!

Thanks

I already have one fitted . Can I fit another one ?

Looks that way

Now £14.99?

You could always get a tin of wood stain with the money saved.

Shame the cherry isn't the same price. I've got a Tempus 1-XT and would like a nice cheap add on speaker.

Just ordered for our Sonus 1xt, thanks op

Exactly what I'm after but wasn't going to pay £30 for it. Thanks op.

Now I just need to find a cheap battery pack for it..

Yes. Its is virtually exactly what it was made for.

Just checking - will this work an on Evoke 1xt - it has a aux speaker headphone jack in the back?

Brilliant - been looking for a deal on this for years for my Evoke.

Ordered, great find OP
Perfect for my evoke -1s in the kitchen-diner

Thanks, this product now makes sense.

This is a decent price for a single speaker but am I right in saying the evoke already has stereo? What kind of usage case would warrant this?

The Evoke 1xt only has a single speaker and therefore cannot produce stereo. Hence the additional speaker is offered as an extra to extend from mono to stereo.

could you use this with Chromecast audio ???

Great find. Thank you OP.

Thanks, i missed that.

Wish it was the black one, do like my Flow but not enough to shed out £30+ for an extra speaker. Good spot for anyone who has the maple one though.

Thank you, going to order. Has anyone ever seen a Marshall one at a decent price? The radio is now worth more than I paid new!

Thanks, OP - just bought.

Ah bums i have the Tempus :disappointed:

well if you don't mind a slight mismatch in colour & size, why not try it? (you have the option for an aux speaker on the back panel)?

Dam, wish it was cherry.

HEAT great quality speaker (for the job) in a decent enclosure

Nice find. Cheers.
