Sound Enhancement

2 x 150 Watts RMS Stereo
150 watts continuous RMS power output per channel, at
6 Ohms, from 80Hz-16kHz, with no more than 10% Total
Harmonic Distortion (THD).

wOOx Technology
Philips patented wOOx Technology ensures superior bass
results. The dual suspension bass radiator, together with
dedicated amplifier circuitry, is especially designed to produce
and handle high dynamic sound signals at very low
frequencies. Because of the dual suspension, the excursion
of the membrane can be extreme (see illustration). This, in
combination with the symmetrical sandwich construction,
provides for very low and precise bass without noticeable
distortion. The net effect of using wOOx Technology is a
tight bass sound that is significantly "lower and louder" than
conventional mini shelf systems.

Sound Navigation
(Jog + DSC + VEC + PS)
The Sound Navigation System is a complete set of sound
manipulation tools consisting of

6 Digital Sound Control settings : (CLASSIC, ROCK,
VOCAL, TECHNO, OPTIMAL, JAZZ),
6 Modes Virtual Environment Control : (HALL,
DISCO, CONCERT, CINEMA, CLUB, ARCADE)
6 Personal Settings : To preserve your favourite sound
settings and save them into 6 different memory settings,

Bass & Treble Control
Bass and treble allows sound adjustment of high and low
frequencies to personal preferences.

3-Step wOOx Level Control
As the human ear does not perceive low frequencies at
the same level as higher frequencies (though at the same
"volume"), the bass sound needs to be enhanced to
achieve maximum impact. The wOOx is progressively
driven at different optimization levels in setting wOOx 1,
2 and 3.

3-Way Bass Reflex Speaker System with Bass
Radiator
Equipped with one 6

" woofer for smooth low and mid

range reproduction, one 2

" ferro-fluid cooled tweeter

and one 1" Polydome tweeter for crisp high tones. 6
