Consumer Reports: sound conditioners virtually as effective as sleeping pills (our Sound Oasis S-650 is one generation ahead of top-rated sound conditioner in article, and $30 less). Click here for article.
The Marsona 1288A is Marpac's top-of-the-line sound conditioner, the programmable 1288A. Choose from eight different "base" sounds and then program any combination of "overlay" sounds (from 0 to all 8) to create a personalized sound environment. The sound quality of digitized and synthesized nature sounds played through a large four inch speaker immediately transports the user to a setting far away from today's hustled and harried world. Using the sounds of surf, lake shore, and country eve as examples, accented by an occasional sea gull, loon, owl, or mourning dove create a tranquility surpassed only by being there.
Technology, style and function come together in the premium edition of the Marsona® 1288A Programmable Sound Conditioner. It features the ultimate in high quality sound, variety of sound selections and ease of operation in a soft, but elegant design. The Marsona® 1288A provides perfectly controlled sound conditioning for masking unwanted noise for a good nights sleep, or to aid in concentration or relaxation.
Marpac sound conditioners are not entertainment systems, toys or gimmicks. They are recommended by doctors for their patients, by mothers for their children, by professional people for their offices, by restless sleepers and — most enthusiastically — by current users throughout the world. There is a Marpac sound conditioner to meet virtually every need and budget. All models are proudly made in the USA.
For an optimal sleep environment, we also recommend hotel grade Blackout Drapery Liners, a Bucky sleep mask, and Flents ear plugs.
