Product Description
Solo - alone, with no one else, individual, no peer. There are many AM/FM table radios with assorted features, colors, and styles. Amidst that vast group, one radio stands out from the rest. Say hello to the Solo, Crosley's first offering in its new Audiophile line of high-end audio products. The Solo is a little different than anything that you have ever seen, or heard, before. Start with the clean, ?new-stalgic? look. Taking design cues from modern art, the corners are gently rounded to create the Solo effect. This ?today? look is nicely complemented by the airplane tuning dial. The true magic of this little wonder lies in its ability to produce the cleanest, most consistent sound of any radio on the market. Crosley accomplishes this with AroundSound, a proprietary design philosophy that eliminates ?hot spots? in sound reproduction. Regardless of its placement in a room, the Solo delivers a measurable difference in acoustic consistency - more than three times as its nearest competitor. To the consumer, this means a more pleasurable listening experience, creating an enveloping effect that wraps the listener in a comfortable cocoon of pleasant, warm tone. Enjoy the precise AM/FM tuner, or check out your ?portable? tunes with our portable Audio Ready feature. Just connect any portable audio device with included hardware and prepare yourself for a unique listening experience. A uniqueness that only Solo can provide. This one is for you!

Say hello to the Solo, Crosley's initial offering in its Audiophile line of high-end audio products. Taking its cues from modern art enthusiasts, the Solo boasts a "new-stalgic" look with gently rounded corners and a clean, efficient front panel. Accentuating the design are a pair of silver control knobs, a large 5:1 ratio analog airplane tuning dial that adds a retro touch, and a 3-inch, full-range, studio-quality speaker with a discrete amplification system. The radio's bold artistry and craftsmanship are sure to grab visitors' attention--it's an ideal accent piece for the home or office--while the full array of audio functions will keep you happily humming to your favorite tunes.

More significantly, the Solo produces the cleanest, most consistent sound of any radio on the market thanks to its AroundSound technology, a proprietary design philosophy that eliminates "hot spots" in sound reproduction. Regardless of its location in a room, the Solo delivers a measurable difference in acoustic consistency--more than three times better than its nearest competitor. To the consumer, this means a more pleasurable listening experience, with an enveloping surround effect that wraps the listener in a comfortably warm, pleasant tone. The experience extends from the precise AM/FM tuner to any device connected to the portable Audio Ready input, which can include personal CD players, MP3 players, video players, or computers.

Other features include an orange LED tuning indicator, a headphone output for private listening, and an external AM/FM antenna. The Solo even comes with a 12-volt jack that--when paired with an adapter (not included)--plugs into a camper, car, or boat's cigarette lighter for remote power. The Solo measures 7.5 by 5.25 by 5.75 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.
