Marpac Sound Conditioner - The Soothing Sounds of Nature at the Touch of a Button!
Advanced Digital Technology, timeless styling, and ease of use come
together in the Marsona 1288A Programmable Sound Conditioner. The 1288A
features exceptionally realistic sound quality and a collection of
programmable "overlay sounds" to provide the user with a variety of
combinations. The easy to use Marsona 1288A provides perfectly
controlled sound conditioning for masking unwanted, intrusive noise for
a restful nights sleep or to add comfortable background sound where it
might otherwise be too quiet for sleep, concentration, or relaxation.
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 digital sound quality is so
realistic that the user is "whisked away" to a setting far from the
hustle of today's harried world. The sounds of surf, rain, or lake shore
- accented by an occasional seagull, hawk, or owl, create a tranquility
surpassed only by "being there".
The Marsona 1288A features "user-friendly" touch controls and LEDs to
highlight selected sounds. Slide controls for tone and volume allow
additional sound customization to create a sensation of "sound range".
The effect of being closer to or further from the source of these natual
sounds (tone control) creates an unspoiled sound envionment at home or
at work.
Marsona Sound Conditioner - A Piece of Nature for Your Peace of Mind

sound environment.
Lake Shore - Gentle waves lapping
against the shore ... with a steady chorus of crickets in the
background;
Surf - A natural wave pattern with
a multitude of ocean waves diverse in size;

peeper frogs against a background of ambient evening sounds;
White Sound - A steady, constant
background of white "noise" reminiscent of the roar of Niagara to
gently and effectively mask intrusive, unwanted noise;
Thunder Storm - Experience the
reassuring comforts of feeling safe, warm, and dry as you listen to
a calm, gentle rain with a rhythm of distant thunder;
Brook - A bubbly flow of water
gently tumbling over the rocks of a mountain crevice.

Got my machine yesterday and used it last night. The thunderstorm put me AND my boyfriend to sleep quickly. Used the timer and the lack of sound didn't wake me. I can't wait to try the other options.
Very happy with it so far!, 10.15.2008
Reviewer: Frank R. (Calgary, AB)
I just received the Marsona 1288A today and I'm using it at my desk right now. Very happy with it so far! I thought when I placed the order I read on your website that the unit came with a free CD with recorded white noise on it. I was hoping to be able to use it at home while keeping the Marsona unit at the office. There was no CD with the package. Thank you!
I live in an apartment alongside a busy corridor with lots of big trucks day and night. I need a sound screen loud enough to block out the noise. Fortunately I found this 1288 model, and it works well. The sounds are clear and true-to-life. It is good that I can play two sounds at once - like sea gulls over the ocean. I slid the bass/treble to halfway, and adjust the volume up one quarter to the halfway. It is really a big helper.
