Sound Enhancement
2 x 140Watts RMS Stereo +
2 x 110Watts RMS Power Boost
The power boost generates 110 watts continuous RMS
power output per channel on top of the 140 watts
continuous RMS power output per channel at 6 Ohm,
from 120 Hz - 15 kHz with no more than 10% total
harmonic distortion (THD).
wOOxTechnology
Philips patented wOOxTechonolgy 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 is 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.
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.
Incredible Surround™
An exciting, new, psycho-acoustic method of widening
the stereo spatial image especially suited for applications
