Typical bedside clock radios have limited features and a single tinned speaker, but this device has a stereo speaker system that projects clear sound at low and high volumes alike, and it houses and charges your iPod, allowing you to playback your entire music catalog at bedside. Two strontium-ferrite speakers have increased audio sensitivity for clearer highs, a richer midrange, and fuller bass. The docking station can accommodate any size iPod, including photo and mini models (a special jack and patch cord allow connection with non-docking iPods, CD players, or other MP3 devices). Your docked iPod recharges automatically, and can be used while charging. The alarm can be set to wake up to a song from your iPod, and the unit also has a built-in AM/FM radio, a classic buzzer, and snooze. You can also set the clock radio to play for a set time before shutting off. Automatic reactivation resets the alarm for the same time the next day (can be turned off if desired), and the time is set simply by selecting your time zone with the touch of a button (includes 12-year calendar). The easy-to-read display has a one-touch backlight. iPod not included. 2 3/4" H x 9 1/4" W x 5 1/2" D. (3 lbs.)
