Grundig 3035 3D Klang is a device classified as medium class of Grundig.
Like some other devices of the 3xxx serie, this one is also particularly interesting.
The thing about this radio that surprised me is the extraordinary reproduction of the spoken parts.
The music is well reproduced but the transmissions where the presence of the speaker is dominant are really impressive.
The voice is present, well balanced and preponderant. All shades, including speaker faults or habits are understandable.
In my opinion, this device is appropriate to the “typical radio listener”, turning on the radio in the morning, turning it off in the evening and listening without temporal continuity to radio commentary, interviews and music.

The Output stage is a classic A-Class with an EL84 valve as final and the triode section of the EABC80 valve as a preamplifier.
The device is equipped with 4 loudspeakers, one of which is an electrostatic frontal tweeter.

At the back of the radio, there is a visible socket where it is possible to connect a remote command. It is possible to turn on the device, adjust the volume and insert some predefined equalizations.
All of this is certainly not standard equipment for middle class devices, but for far superior devices.

The cabinet is important for its size, which guarantees a split between frontal and posterior emissions of the loudspeaker.
The loudspeakers of these radios have been mounted in a particular configuration “quiet open Baffle” whereby a big separation surface is very important for an efficient reproduction of bass notes.
The sound is substantial but the strong point of the radio is the clarity of reproduction of solo instruments and of the voice.
