Its right half is being occupied by one giant powerful speaker, while, the left half contains an LCD display with orange backlighting. The backlight for sure helps with the navigation throughout the radio in the dark, since it can easily be spotted.
Since this radio is able to work on both AM and FM frequencies, that means that you will always be able to listen to your favorite radio stations, no matter where you are- its reception is amazing, but, more on that later.
