Product Description

The Marsona DS-600A is an easy-to-use digital sound conditioner for masking disruptive noise or for adding comfortable background sound where it might otherwise be too quiet for sleep, concentration, or relaxation. It features the six most-requested sounds in the Marpac library. Enjoy the sound of surf as it meets the sand of the beach, a calm, gentle rain with the rhythm of a distant thunderstorm, or the steady, constant background of white noise. Relax to the sounds of a babbling brook, the gentle lapping water at the lakeshore, or the sounds of crickets and spring peepers on a country evening. The DS-600A is completely portable; when standard electrical current is unavailable, it can be operated with four AA batteries (not included). Take the DS-600A wherever you go: hotel room, camping, even in the car. The timer can be set to turn the unit off after sixty minutes if desired.

4.0 out of 5 stars If It Is Too Quiet..., September 12, 2005

I am very happy with my new DS-600 sound machine. I recently moved to a new neighborhood. It is a very quiet neighborhood. Too quiet. I found it difficult to sleep with all that silence going on around me. So, I did a little checking on-line and decided to give this product a try.

Now, I find that I have just enough "noise" to get to sleep. I prefer the surf sound. The rain is also good. The waterfall sound is a little too monotone for my tastes and I am not all that excited over the crickets and frogs. But, overall I am sleeping better with the sound machine.

The machine itself is very easy to operate and produces good, but not great, sound. The sounds are not quite true to life, but they serve their purpose.

If it is just a little too quiet for you and you need a little noise to get some sleep, I would recommend this machine.

1.0 out of 5 stars Loved it while it (briefly) worked, April 7, 2007

I bought this product for my niece who just purchased a condo unit with thin walls. I was familiar with the older (basic) versions of Marpac white-noise machines and thought I would give the "new and improved" digital version as a gift. The 6 options of soothing sounds were VERY nice, so I ordered it at a hefty price, I might add, for my sleep-challenged niece's pleasure. She LOVED it until after approximately 4 weeks (!) of use the unit starting making annoying clicking noises instead of soothing environmental sounds. She is in the process of repacking the unit and sending it back to the manufacturer for replacement/reconditioning. Sometimes fancier (digital in this case) is not necessarily better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marsona Sleep Machine, March 16, 2006

This is one of the best products of its kind I've ever used. The sounds are much more realistic than other brands I've tried. They really sound like what they're supposed to. I give this an A+ I highly recommend it to those who need sleep machines.
