ALARM CLOCK RADIO
Model XDR-C705DAB
This Sony clock radio is a cut above its nominal competitors, being well-built and
with a hint of "˜sixties futuristic' retro about it " what is it with radio designers and
products that look like props from 2001: A Space Odyssey? Whatever, this white
wedgy white slab with a black grille and rear support has four alarm memories, for
every day, weekdays, weekends or one-off use, and you can be woken up with
DAB, FM or a very loud buzzer. For a mono design, its sound is expansive, and it
does a manful job at the frequncy extremes, hinting at low-end stuff while avoiding
splashiness at the top, and giving some character to voices on speech radio.
Despite a single small speaker and a stringy wire aerial, sound quality is good and
tuning is strong on this DAB radio alarm clock. A large screen showing programme
information and the time dominates the face, while the top is home to controls for
the radio and alarm. There is no headphone jack or option for battery operation.
It's very easy to use, as you'd expect of something you have to tackle first thing in
the morning.
