Vine C Series · N88 DRM Receiver

    Audio that reaches everyone — with or without power, signal or sight.

    Solar Grove builds rugged, accessible audio devices for the places smartphones don't reach: the Vine C1 bookreader and Vine 3 C2 recorder for tactile, solar-powered listening, and the N88 — the world's first affordable personal DRM receiver for digital radio and emergency alerts.

    N88

    DRM Receiver

    • Works off-grid: Vine devices charge from their built-in solar panel; the N88 runs 24+ hours on 3 AA batteries and over a month in emergency standby.
    • Accessible by design: raised tactile buttons and audible feedback, so anyone can use them without a screen.
    • Content and broadcast in one family: play audiobooks, lessons and recordings on Vine, or receive AM, FM and digital DRM radio on the N88.
    • Built for deployment at scale: shock- and water-resistant, simple to train on, with volume pricing for schools, ministries and NGOs.

    Engineered for reach, accessibility and reliability

    Every Solar Grove device follows the same principles: it must work where infrastructure is weak, be usable by people of any age or ability, and survive years of real-world use.

    Power that doesn't depend on the grid

    Vine C1 and Vine 3 C2 recharge from a high-efficiency built-in solar panel. The N88 uses advanced power management for 24+ hours of listening on 3 AA batteries — replaceable anywhere in the world.

    Accessible tactile interface

    Raised buttons with clear tactile separation for Play, Navigation, Volume and Presets, plus audible feedback that confirms every action. No screen required to use any device.

    Content you choose, or live broadcast

    Vine devices organise audiobooks, DAISY books and lessons into Publications and Sections with automatic bookmarking. The N88 receives MW, SW and FM analogue plus digital DRM radio, with text services on its display.

    Emergency-ready

    The N88 supports the DRM Emergency Warning Function (EWF): in standby it wakes automatically to deliver official alerts — critical where mobile networks fail during disasters.

    Rugged, field-ready design

    Shock-resistant housings, enhanced water resistance, a built-in speaker for small groups and a 3.5mm jack for headphones or larger speakers. Designed for classrooms, villages and field teams.
