This table radio was selected best in trials conducted by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute for sound quality and ease of use. Analysts found it to have superior sound quality, commenting that this unit fills the room with sound and that its AM/FM radio and built-in CD player projects a very clear deep tone at all volume levels. The radios exceptional sound quality produced from its two 3" speakers is achieved using wide-range drivers combined with an actively-equalized amplifier, providing neutral tonal balance from one end of the sonic spectrum to the other, resulting in rich vibrant sound. The radio was selected as the easiest to use of all models tested because the time, date, dual alarms, 60-minute sleep/snooze timer, and the 24 station presets were all easy to program; the large buttons and clearly-written instruction manual were both considered superior to other tested models. It has a battery-backup feature that uses a 9-volt battery (required) to provide power in the event of a power outage, so your alarm will still sound in the morning. It has connections that allow you to plug in an MP3 player, headphones, subwoofer, and more. Includes remote which requires CR2025 battery. 4 1/2" H x 14" W x 8 1/2" D. (9 lbs.)
