Radio clocks have grown quite a reputation and a urban history since they came into being and I guess there aren't too many places on the face of the Earth which haven't been "invaded" by this rather cool device.
From their initial appearance until now, radio clocks have constantly evolved, as far as shape and design are concerned and functionality requirements dictated; simple pieces of cheap plastic with a crappy sound FM radio and all-time favorite red digits or high-technology, stylish and artsy units, their purpose is pretty much the same, waking us in the morning and enduring our constant snooze-button battering.
The Cubo is a piece of completely cool technology in the field of radio clocks but by all means, we're dealing with so much more than anyone of you could ever associate with the radio clock in your kitchen.
First of all we're talking CD, CD-R and CD-RW support and of course, th support for the almighty MP3 format, meaning you can actually have the Sonoro Cubo waking you up with the tunes of your favorite battle-inspiring hymns, for a morning full of energy (are there any?). The slot loading of the discs means less space requirements and therefore extended versatility and convenience as far as placement is concerned.
This latest Sonoro contraption stores six station presets in either AM or FM bands and can memorize up to 20 CD tracks for different occasions. Repeat, random or 10-second intro modes are available in the CD player section, just like in any similar player, for ultimate comfort. The bright and very readable LCD screen offers great visual data while you are looking for tracks or stations; even more, in case the internal antenna isn't powerful enough, you can hook up a 75-Ohm external one and have your way with radio.
And when it comes to hooking things up, you will also take benefit from Sonoro Cubo's aux input or stereo line out jacks, allowing you to link with iPods, MP3 players and other similar gear. Add in the 7 glossy colors and 3 wood grains, the bass reflex architecture and the 3" loudspeaker and the wood casing and there you go, the all-new radio clock doing so much more than receiving your "snooze, damn you" fist bangs.
Available at high-end retailers and interior design outlets for around $350.
