Yamaha’s New TSX-140 Audio System/iPod Dock Wakes You Gently

Who needs a clock radio when you can have a clock audio system? Yamaha has a new desktop audio system with IntelliAlarm, which wakes you up with a soft fade in of music, first filtering out high frequencies, and then gradually restoring the full audio spectrum before it starts beeping.
The TSX-140 is an iPod dock too, compatible with the iPod touch and iPhone (3G/3GS/4). It can also play MP3 and WMA files stored on a USB stick, as well as FM/AM radio. Featuring twin 3½–inch bass reflex speakers and digital amplifiers, the TSX-140 boasts Yamaha’s own Concert Quality Sound and Extended Stereo.
A USB mini-B connector is included for iPod/iPhone syncing, and three front panel controls give access to source, volume, radio presets, alarm clock and equalizer functions. It also has a brightness sensor which adjusts all display LEDs to suit the ambient light level.
The Yamaha TSX-140 is now available in black, brick and gray for $399.95.
