It measures 17" wide (at widest point) x 17" deep (at deepest point) x 10 & 1/2" tall (from bottom of the rubber feet to top). It is actually plastic colored to appear as brushed brass. So, I decided to take a chance on one that had only one useless review. Some of which said everything broke except for the radio in the first year of use.
Just don't expect to get a lot of volume or bass out of them. However, I suppose you could hook up external speakers through the headphone jack if you wanted to. I came close to purchasing a Crosley but had read numerous bad reviews on several models. It is mostly constructed of particle board with veneer. It has an am/fm radio (manual tuning knob), CD player (standard controls), Tape player (on right side and only plays & FF when the eject button is pressed half way in), iPod dock, standard head phone jack, and an Aux-in port (I guess for other MP3 players).
Everything plays like it should and the sound quality is ok for cheap speakers. Anyway.The KLH is an ok device for 80 bucks. The base appears wrapped in a wood color "contact paper" of some sort. It has a black 3' wire in the back that acts as the antenna.
My wife wanted a record player for Christmas and commented several times that she liked the Crosley "all-in-one" media player at Target. So far we played records, CDs (both store bought and burned Audio CD-Rs), and cassette tapes. Sorry, I don't own an iPod yet and I haven't tried MP3's on a data disk either (I will update this when I do). Also, there is no way to adjust the bass, treble, or balance of the speakers. Lets just say you won't be handing this down as a family heirloom. It also comes with an Aux cord and a remote for the CD player (Note: you can not turn on/off the device with the remote). Because of this, I didn't want to spend several hundred dollars on a large paper weight.
Over all, it's not that bad for the money and my wife is happy and I guess in the end that's all that matters. I know it sounds cheap but it's not that bad actually and as long as it's not banged around too much. The picture on the box erroneously depicts a black electronics face. The radio reception is pretty good for manual tuning. See pictures above.
I bought this product for my boyfriend for his birthday, he loves vinyls, and loved this record player. Has an ipod doc, which is perfect even for is IPhone. He's a music freak, and loved this record player too. Works great and GREAT sound.
