The Studebaker Workstation SB5050 is a versatile Hi-Fi CD Clock Radio and Wireless Charging Station designed to enhance your musical enjoyment and provide convenient charging solutions. This comprehensive device combines multiple audio functions with practical features for daily use, all while prioritizing user safety and ease of operation.
At its core, the SB5050 serves as a multi-functional audio system. It features a CD player, allowing you to enjoy your favorite compact discs. The unit also includes an FM radio, providing access to local broadcasts. For expanded audio options, it offers Bluetooth connectivity, enabling wireless streaming from compatible smart devices. An auxiliary input (AUX IN) further broadens its compatibility, allowing you to connect external audio sources like MP3 players or older CD players via a wired connection.
Beyond its audio capabilities, the SB5050 integrates a dual alarm clock, making it a practical bedside companion. Users can set two independent alarms, choosing between a traditional beeping alarm sound or waking up to their preferred FM radio station. The clock display is an LED, offering adjustable brightness settings (High, Medium, Low) to suit different environments and preferences.
A standout feature of the SB5050 is its wireless charging functionality. It includes two wireless charging pads, capable of charging Qi-compatible smartphones and Apple Watches. This eliminates the need for multiple charging cables, providing a clean and convenient charging experience. For devices without wireless charging capabilities, a USB charging port (DC 5V === 2.1A) is also available on the back of the unit, allowing for wired charging of smartphones and portable devices.
The device also incorporates an EQ operation, offering five different sound modes (FLAT, ROCK, CLASSIC, JAZZ, POP) to customize your listening experience. A sleep timer function is included, allowing the unit to automatically turn off after a designated period (10, 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes), which is ideal for falling asleep to music. Additionally, a night light feature with adjustable brightness (Off, Low, High) adds to its utility, particularly in a bedroom setting.
Operating the SB5050 is designed to be intuitive, with controls available both on the unit itself and via an included remote control.
Power and Standby: The unit powers on when plugged into an AC outlet, entering standby mode with the display flashing. A battery back-up system, powered by two AAA batteries (not included), ensures that clock and alarm settings are retained during power outages.
Clock and Alarm Setting: Setting the time is straightforward: press and hold the CLOCK SET button, then use the TUN+/- buttons to adjust hours and minutes, confirming each step with the CLOCK SET button. The PM indicator helps distinguish between AM and PM times. The unit can also synchronize its clock with a Bluetooth-connected smartphone, potentially requesting authorization for access. For alarms, the process is similar: press and hold the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 button, select "ON," then set the desired hour, minute, wake-up option (alarm sound or FM radio), and volume level using the TUN+/- buttons. The snooze function allows for a temporary 9-minute silence of the alarm.
Radio Operation: To listen to the radio, power on the unit and repeatedly tap the SOURCE button to select FM radio mode. Manual tuning is achieved by tapping the TUN+/- buttons, while automatic tuning (SCAN) is activated by pressing and holding these buttons to find the next available station. For optimal FM reception, the FM antenna should be fully extended and positioned for the strongest signal. The unit also supports storing up to 20 FM preset stations for quick recall.
CD Playback: In CD mode, open the CD compartment using the CD OPEN/CLOSE button, load an audio CD label-side up, and close the tray. The unit will read the disc, display track information, and begin playback when the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed. Repeat functions (Repeat 1 for current track, Repeat All for the entire disc) and program play mode (up to 20 tracks in a programmed sequence) are available. Skip and search modes allow for easy navigation through tracks.
Bluetooth Connectivity: To use Bluetooth, select Bluetooth mode via the SOURCE button. The Bluetooth icon will flash, indicating pairing mode. Enable Bluetooth on your smart device, search for "SB5050," and select it to pair. A "0000" passcode may be required. Once paired, the icon becomes solid, and you can stream music wirelessly. The SB5050 also features Bluetooth Out (Transmitter) mode, allowing it to transmit audio to Bluetooth headphones or speakers. In this mode, the unit's internal speakers are muted.
Auxiliary Input: Connect external audio devices to the AUX IN jack using a 3.5mm stereo audio cable. Select AUX mode via the SOURCE button, and audio from the external device will play through the SB5050's speakers. Volume can be controlled through the main unit, and for devices connected via headphone jack, both device and unit volume may need adjustment.
Charging Features: For wireless charging, place your Qi-compatible smartphone or Apple Watch on the designated charging pads. Indicators will light up to confirm charging. For wired charging, connect your device to the USB charging port using a USB cable.
The SB5050 is designed for durability, but proper care is essential for longevity.
The SB5050 is a comprehensive and user-friendly device, integrating essential audio functions with modern charging conveniences, all while emphasizing safety and straightforward operation.
