HD Radio broadcasting is a transformational technology that
allows AM and FM stations to broadcast digital signals in
tandem with their analog signals, providing broadcasters with
a platform to offer multiple channels of programming on the
same frequency (multicasting). HD Radio technology provides
crystal-clear, CD-quality sound, services such as real-time
weather and traffic updates, and scrolling text and graphics
content. Over 1,200 U.S. stations are on the air, available
to 80 percent of Americans, with more than 600 stations offering
second multicasting channels.
"Now is the perfect time to discover and share the new programming
and incredible fidelity of HD Radio broadcasting," said Rob
Mainiero, general manager of Cambridge SoundWorks. "They say
good things come in small packages and our new SoundWorks
Radio 820HD is a perfect example."
The SoundWorks Radio 820HD offers the rich, accurate and
full-range sound that has made Cambridge SoundWorks radios
famous. It will fill even a large room with rich sound, yet
is compact enough to fit easily on a small table. It features
dual alarms, a convenient auxiliary input to connect other
audio sources, such as an iPod or ZEN MP3 player, and a stereo
headphone jack.
"We are thrilled to have this new Cambridge SoundWorks radio
as the latest addition to the rapidly growing HD Digital Radio
family," said Peter Ferrara, president and CEO of the HD Digital
Radio Alliance. "We are grateful to Cambridge SoundWorks for
being a wonderful partner in our effort to help consumers
discover and enjoy HD Digital Radio."
