Specifications
Home audio quality on the PC
Philips has used over 75 years experience at the
leading edge of audio to create PC audio products
with the same performance as our award-winning
home audio systems.
75 Years of audio experience
Philips invented the CD, lead the team that wrote
the USB audio specification and has produced
millions of audio systems, home cinema sets and TV's
over many decades. As a leader in audio innovation,
you can trust Philips to make PC sound systems of
the highest sound quality.
32-bit floating point DSP
A software engine that can losslessly process 24 bit
sound to add DSP effects without reverting back to
16 bit resolution
Digital sound quality
Audio is transferred as a digital signal and only at the
last minute is it converted to an analog signal. This
reduces the amount of interference on the signal and
results in playback that is true to the original
recording.
Music, games, films, internet
All types of music, games, films and internet audio
sources can be played, so no matter what you want
to hear, we make your multimedia experiences
sound more involving than ever.
EAX2.0 and A3D 1.0 support
PC games often contain 3D sound that is positioned
in space using various standards. EAX and A3D are
so called API's that translate the sounds used in a
game into 3 dimensional sounds to ensure an
immersive gaming experience
External source DSP processing
Enables use of the soundcard functionality for
external sources such as TV's or hi-fi systems and
turns e.g. a normal TV programme into an
enveloping 5.1 channel surround experience
24/96 recording and playback
24 bit files have a higher resolution and can more
accurately define a track than conventional 16 bit
technology. Using a true 24 bit playback and
recording path, the PC can be turned into a high end
home entertainment centre.
Sound Agent 2
Sound Agent 2 is intelligent software that comes
with a fun and easy-to-use graphical interface. It
takes the confusion out of PC audio by automatically
optimizing sounds for all popular formats. Sound
Agent 2 makes it easy to fine-tune any audio
performance to suit your personal musical taste.
96kHz/24bit audio DAC
96KHz sampling enables you to have an accurate
representation of the original sound curves.
Together with a 24-bit resolution, more information
is captured from the original analogue sound wave
form, giving a much richer audio reproduction.
QMSS
QMSS turns all stereo sources to convincing multi-
channel surround, meaning that all games, music and
movies can be heard in multi-channel surround
sound, and not just in regular stereo.
MP3 Energy Boost
When CD's are ripped to MP3, some of the
dynamics are lost due to compression. MP3 Energy
Boost dynamically analyses MP3 and WMA files and
adds frequencies that were lost during compression.
The result is more defined and realistic MP3's that
are closer to the original CD track.
5.1 channel playback
5.1 channel sound for reproduction of Dolby
Digital® and EAX® sound sources
Coaxial Digital Audio SPDIF
An SPDIF coaxial cable is a highly reliable way of
connecting digital audio.
