Review: Stop sitting on the fence concerning an internet radio - give it a whirl! It's a very good value. - I have owned Grace Internet radios for years (there isn't much competition in this market I guess). I just set it up this morning, and as per typical Grace radio fashion, set up is a piece of cake - very, very easy and straightforward. Make sure to have your wifi modem's password handy, as you need to enter it during set up (this part is the most involved step, and this only takes 1 minute at the most - very simple). Grace does have some nice touches that their limited competition does not feature, such as a USB port for flash drives and external hard drives (it doesn't work if you try to use more a 5 TB external drive), and RCA stereo lines both in and out. This is really nice for integrating into a classic stereo receiver's AUX inputs/outputs, though it works fine as a stand-alone unit - the built-in speaker (while not in stereo) is rich in depth and full of bass. The included remote control is also a nice little bonus. Also, they have removed the "rabbit-ears" style wifi antennas and replaced them with a more powerful internal one that seems to work much better (considering my radio is almost 50 feet from the modem, and is separated by two interior walls). For those who cannot live without their i-phone/android, it has an induction charging pad on top of the radio. I do not know how that works, as I have an old-school flip phone. My internet usage is strictly via this unit, my Roku TV and my laptop. The only time I use my phone is to make or receive phone calls - nothing more, nothing less. The radio is very well built - very substantial (it takes 2 hands to lift and move it safely; it's rather heavy, several pounds, which is not a bad thing, I'm just mentioning it in passing). Another kind of positive thing is that the cost of these big units seems to have gone down. When I bought my previous Mondo Elite Classic, I paid around $299 for it. This once (of course I bought it on sale) was $199; a significant difference in price I would say. Good value for the money. My only gripe that I have had in the past with Grace products is that there products seem to have a planned obsolescence, especially after a couple of years of firmware updates. There have been some snags with some of the updates in the past. I do not know if they have improved their software updates or not, but if you want a table-top internet radio receiver, then it's a possibly you may just have to live with. I love the whole concept behind Internet radio. As a fan of world music - Asian, Middle Eastern (especially the music of India) and Mexican/South American music, as well as news and talk from other exotic places that I will probably never get to visit in person, it just such a cool thing. I live in Missouri, and I love to listen to English Premier League soccer radio. And once you own the receiver, and keep up the payments on your internet service, most all of this really cool stuff is free!! Now, if you want to use any of the premium services (SiriusXM, Spotify, Pandora, etc.), then of course you have to pay for those. If you can afford the price of the receiver, and your curiosity is aroused, then give it a try. It is an amazing world of listening - it is waiting for you to listen, all you have to do is tune in!
Review: A worthy upgrade from previous Grace radios - This is my fourth Grace radio, starting many years ago with their first model. This one has much to recommend it over the predecessors. 1. It is heaver. This is important for me as the radio is on my bedside table. With all the previous radios if I would lean over from the bed to press a preset or the power button, often the whole radio would slide on the table and make it necessary I use a hand to hold the radio steady. This may seem to be a minor point but it is important on the basis of daily use and convenience. 2. It is more attractive with the wood appearance instead of plastic. Also the buttons are now easier to read because of the contrast of black on light tan instead of the prior gray on black. These improvements make the radio much more functional and easy to use. 3. The Mondo Elite models now integrate Pandora, as the earliest models did. The previous model, the Mondo+, allows casting Pandora to the radio from a smartphone or other source but the absence of an integrated Pandora is not user-friendly. Grace indicated it was a major effort to add Pandora to the Mondo Elite due to complex coding. I asked tech support if they were going to add Pandora to the Mondo+ models but they did not reply to this question. 4. The sound quality is rich but has too much bass for my 69-year-old ears. I adjusted the sound with the equalizer which helped some. Still I prefer the sound of the plastic models. Again, this is probably due to hearing loss or changes that occur when one ages. 5. The interface is very much like previous Grace radios, especially the Mondo+. Grace has added functionality in many small ways. I especially like how easy it is now to quickly adjust the sleep time with the large button on top. 6. The wireless charger is a bonus. It was not a determining factor in my decision to purchase the radio but since it is present I do use it. 7. I like the opportunity to set separate alarms for each day of the week, plus weekend and weekdays. Previously one could just set them for weekends and weekdays. One option that I use is to set overlapping alarms. If I want to get up at 7:00am to my local NPR station, say, I set an alarm for 6:50 for a new age channel at soft volume. I also set an alarm at 7:00 at normal volume. Then I awake gently. All in all, this is the best Grace radio I have owned.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is grace going out of business?  the encore+ is gone, the mondo elite classic no longer in black.  i'd buy 1 of each!**
A: LOL - no! We have been in transition writing code this last year to a new radio platform.  

The encore plus sales  were so small we discontinued it ( it was my favorite but was not popular with customers).  The black classic was also a very small seller.  

We will be back in stock of the black mondo elite (not classic) in about 2 weeks and the new Grace link ( no speaker) will be back in stock mid next week.  We will probably have the classic in black ash in about 4-5 months.    The mondo elite in red is also currently in stock.

**Q: What is the part number for the grace usb to ethernet dongle? (the only grace-branded adapter i find on amazon suggests it will be incompatible.)**
A: This is the correct adapter for the Mondo +, Mondo Elite / Mondo Elite Classic.  It is NOT compatable with the original Mondo radio and pre 2017 radios.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077Q3STFY?ref=myi_title_dp

**Q: Are there only 10 presets? Is there a way to add more stations in the memory?**
A: There are multiple options:
1) 10 presets
2) 50 stations in your my history folder
3) register the radio to the Grace web site where you can manage the stations that are in your 'my stuff' folder.  You can create sub folders and store an unlimited number of stations.  This is performed on the web site, note the radio, but the web site will then push the stations and folders to the radio.  You cannot add stations into the my stuff folder directly from the radio.

**Q: can external speakers be connected to it?**
A: No, but you can buy other radios and put them in the same room or anyplace in your home and synchronize the audio (or play separate music).  You can create zones of radios as well as pair them with any other brands chromecast enabled speakers and control it via a google home as an option.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rediscovering Radio Bliss with the Grace Digital Mondo Elite Classic
*by A***R on May 9, 2025*

This radio is an excellent answer to the modern age for us older folks that grew up on radio. With all the available streaming services, it's nice to have something that isn't programmed to track you and present stuff based on an algorithm. With radio, you get what comes down the pipe. The functionality is excellent with a nice method of navigating. The knobs are nice feeling with a nice subtle click feedback as you rotate. The display looks good and is very readable and has a nice glow when the device is off. The size is good as a table top device, close to the size of a shoe box, but it's a little large if you were using it on a small nightstand. The sound is great with a noticeable amount of bass when you set up the equalizer. It's not super hifidelity quality like a high end stereo, but fills the room with plenty of great sound. The hardest part is probably combing through all the services and the stations you can choose to add to your presets (up to 99, though the buttons on the front are quick sets only for the first 10). The website to pick and choose the curated list of 100,000s of stations is easy to use, But there are many stations that don't seem to work. So once you choose to save them in your folder, you have to go through and check out if they are dead or not. They do state that you can send them the station info and they can either update the feed or remove it if it's gone. I also recommend the mobile phone app since that is a super easy way to navigate really fast. Chromecasting and Bluetooth work well. The remote is usable and has all the buttons you would need, but it feels a bit cheap compared to the quality of the radio. This thing has been a joy to use so far and highly recommended. The price for the quality is worth it. One thing to note: the battery that makes these Grace Digital radios portable does not work on this model even though the battery says its for an "Elite" model (different radio) and Amazon seems to show it as being frequently bought together. So don't buy the battery or you will be returning it.
