Introduced in late August 2008, the Squeezebox Boom is a networked alarm clock from Logitech. Featuring the same usability of a regular Squeezebox, the Boom streams music off of a PC with the open source SqueezeCenter installed. Without the advanced analogue and digital connections as the Classic, the Boom opts for two built in high quality speakers and the ability for the user to use the headphone jack as a subwoofer signal cable for those interested in using the boom as a high fidelity stereo system. Great for those sick of low quality speakers and static-y reception on conventional alarm clocks, the Boom replaces the build-your-own-system philosophy of the original Classic and supplies an easy to use high quality system with added alarm clock functionality such as a 7-day wakeup music selection, backup battery and an auto dimming screen.
