Great Sound Altec Lansing put their research into this system, with precision-engineered speakers to deliver full-spectrum sound. The drivers, enclosure, and electronics are balanced, thanks to Altec's "Audio Alignment,” for optimum sound.
Mood Lighting The Moondance Glow got its name for a reason: It's equipped with a mood light to help you relax and enjoy the music. Choose your color and intensity, then splash it on the wall or turn it off if you'd prefer.
FM Radio A built-in FM radio lets you go with some live programming instead of iPod or auxiliary sources. Features four station presets and wire antenna for superior reception.
Dual Alarms Wake to your iPod, radio, or alarm, with separate wake times for you and a companion. "7-5-2" alarm settings let you set separate weekday and weekend alarms, if desired. Set your own snooze duration from 5 to 60 minutes (but you know, be careful to still get to work on time).
A programmable sleep function is also included for when you drift off, and it’s programmable from 5 to 90 minutes.
Double the Remote The included enhanced remote lets you operate many functions of the speaker system. In addition, it includes a wireless snooze remote that allows you to snooze and dismiss your alarm (and play/pause your iPod) from across the room--up to 30 feet.
Of course, on-board controls mean mood lighting and all other functions can be directly controlled from the Moondance Glow.
Amber LCD with Dimmer Light Displays song info and FM data feeds (RDS), in addition to standard alarm clock info.
Auxiliary Input Connect a second audio source, including portable CD, DVD, and other MP3 players.
What's in the Box Moondance Glow speaker system, remote control, wireless snooze remote, FM radio antenna, power adapter, miscellaneous adapters for iPod, and user's guide.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and CriticismFirst let me say that if you are wondering what the difference between this model (M402) and the M402SR is, the answer is that this model DOES NOT come with the remote snooze button that the M402SR comes with even though it is shown in the picture and mentioned in the description. From the literature that came with the unit, it is possible to purchase this if you really want one. I spent a lot of time trying to find a good alarm clock radio with an iPod dock that didn't cost a small fortune or take up too much space. This one fit the bill. After reading the description, I thought that it "would do." I felt like I was settling for something less than I really wanted because I just didn't want to spend the money on something more expensive. Okay, so I don't really like the way it this thing looks. Let's face it, it looks like something from out of the 80's. However, it isn't quite as ugly in person as it looks in the picture. That is a great relief since I have to look at it everyday. The unit sounds pretty good - way better than the little speakers I was using before to listen to my iPod. I won't say it can fill a room, but it is more than acceptable for most people. I works great with my iPod Touch 4th gen. The little remote that comes with the unit allows me to control my iPod, and the dock does charge my iPod just as stated. The screen on the unit even scrolls the song title and artist. The FM radio works well. For stations that broadcast the information, the unit will scroll the song title and artist. Very cool feature since sometimes when I listen to the radio I want to know that information. I have my 4 favorite FM stations programmed into the presets. The mood lighting feature is okay. For me it is just kind of a thrown on feature that is cute to have, but I don't think it really does anything. It does have a a number of colors to choose from, and the intensity is adjustable from 1 - 17 (17? Really? Who came up with that number?). To be honest, it's just not bright enough to really set any kind of mood. The most that can be said for it, is that it is a nice customizable night light. The clock and the alarm were easy to set. The unit even displays the day and date on the screen. Some of the reviews on the M402SR said that it was difficult, but I didn't find that to be the case at all. Also, some of the reviews for the M402SR said that there were only 3 volume levels for the alarm. That may have been the case at one point in time, but on my unit the alarm volume is fully adjustable. Overall, I am VERY pleased with this unit. I actually would have to say that I love it. So far I haven't found anything I dislike about it (well, except for the 80's style appearance).
