Cambridge SoundWorks Takes Pre-Orders on 820HD
The stereo/clock radio with digital AM/FM from Cambridge SoundWorks is nearly out the door: The company will charge $300 for its all-in-one unit, putting above the cost of the Radio Shack Accurian ($200, but no clock radio features, just a clock), and at the same price as the Boston Acoustics Receptor Radio HD. The radio qualifies for a $50 mail-in rebate from iBiquity if purchased by Jan. 14, 2007. (Boston Acoustics buyers get $50 off, too, and Radio Shack Accurian acquirers, $25.)
The 820HD has two alarms, a clock display and a snooze bar; and it offers a mini-jack auxiliary input for playthrough as well as a standard jack for headphones.
The unit comes with an integral telescoping FM antenna--like the Sangean and Radiosophy receivers--but from the illustration, it's clear an external 75-ohm FM antenna can be attached as well. (Sangean's telescoping antenna unscrews; Radiosophy has a separate set of terminal to attach a 75-ohm adapter.) The radio comes in black and white--Onyx and Arctic White, rather. The firm expects to ship shortly.
