MARSONA 1250 Programmable Sound Conditioner
A PRODUCT BY miarpac CORPORATION
Pioneers in sound conditioning since 1962
Marsona® 1250
Marpac Corporation, pioneer and innovator in sound conditioning for more than
30 years, has achieved a new level in personal environmental engineering with
the Marsona® 1250 Multi Effect Sound Conditioner. The Marsona® 1250 emulates
nature with state-of-the-art precision to capture the richest selection of the
most soothing sounds the human ear has ever known.
Relax to the rhythmic beat of the ocean shore. Travel to the edge of a roaring
waterfall or linger beside the playful splash of a babbling brook. Come home
to the timeless sounds of summer – rain pouring on the roof, crickets and
spring peepers in the field, evening bird songs.
With style, simplicity and technological elegance, the Marsona® 1250 offers
you sound effects that can be tailored and molded to your shifting sound
environment. Surf selections, for example, let you add an overlay sound of sea
gulls and a bell buoy to the rhythm of the rolling surf. Other overlay effects
include evening bird songs and the cadence of a country evening.
Marpac Corporation, integrating digital technology into an advanced, yet
compact, sound conditioner foryour home, school or office, brings the soothing
effects of nature to your fingertips – and to your ears.

POWER: Insert the 2.5mm x 5.5mm plug from power supply transformer
(included).
ACCESSORY: Use for exterior speaker, headphones, etc. with 1/8 inch
(3.5mm) monaural plug (no accessories included).
OVERLAY VOLUME: Rotating dial adjusts the volume of digitally recorded
“overlay” sounds without changing the volume of the “base” or “background”
sound. For instance, when on the 5.1 setting (SURF I with overlay of sea gulls
and a bell buoy), rotating this dial can have the effect of making the gulls
and bell buoy sound very close or very far away from your unchanging position
on the beach. This dial controls the volume of:
Sea Gulls and Bell Buoy
Evening Bird Songs
Crickets and Spring
Peepers Babbling Brook
Rear Panel
Front Control Panel
ON/OFF: Touch to turn unit on and off.
FUNCTION SELECTOR : You have 10 options, beginning with SURF I. Each
touch of this button accesses the next selection. See “Sound Selections”
chart.
L.E.D. DISPLAY: Illuminated display indicates the current function
selected. An illuminated dot between the letter and the number indicates
overlay sounds are activated. See “Sound Selections” chart. An illuminated dot
in the lower right indicates that the TIME R is activated. The display will
automatically turn off after three minutes, (except timer dot, if activated)
so the light will not disturb you. To turn it back on, simply touch any
button.
Front Control Panel
RATE: Touch up arrow or down arrow to control wave frequency on
all SURF set tings and to control intensity of downpour on RAIN set tings, on
a scale of 0 to 15. RANGE: Touch up arrow or down arrow to control
the level of ambient sound between waves on all SURF settings and to control
reso nance on all RAIN settings, using the same 0 to 15 scale. (NOTE: RATE and
RANGE levels that you set for each function are stored in the memory of the
Marsona® 1250, even when you turn your unit off. However, in the event of a
power interruption, RATE and RANGE must be reprogrammed. You might want to
make a note of your preferred settings.)
TIMER: Touch to program the Marsona® 1250 to automatically shut off after
a period of 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes. The small red light on the lower right
of the L.E.D. will indicate that the timer is activated, and will begin to
flash softly for three minutes before the unit turns off. For sleep we
recommend leaving the unit on all night. It requires very little electricity
and will help you sleep better.
TONE: Slide to control tonal quality.
VOLUME: Slide to control loudness of complete sound selection. See OVER
LAY VOLUME control on rear panel.
