XtremeMac unveils Luna iPod alarm clock |
XtremeMac today debuted its Luna alarm clock and audio system for iPod. Offering an on-screen menu system, Luna allows users to sleep and wake to an iPod or the radio, and also serves as a complete speaker system for home or office. Luna's menu system provides user-friendly control over all of the alarm and audio functions using four large, multi-function knobs located on the top of the unit. The four simple controls eliminate the complexity of the myriad buttons typically found on an alarm clock, according to the company. In addition, the unit can be controlled by the included wireless remote which features advanced audio and alarm functions. Luna features two independent alarms that offer customized source (iPod, radio or buzzer), volume, dimmer, and snooze time options. Users can also select gradually increasing and decreasing volume for the alarms and sleep timer.The device is also billed as a complete audio system powered by two full-range speakers and a powerful two-channel amplifier. The AM/FM radio features four station presets and the built-in Universal dock accommodates any iPod with a dock connector (the unit ships with three dock well inserts that fit the most current iPod models). There is also an AUX-IN port for connecting audio devices without a dock connector such as the iPod shuffle, older iPod models or other MP3 players. |
