Sound Enhancement
2 x 120 Watts RMS Stereo
120 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 Techonolgy 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.

Sound Navigation via jog (Jog + DSC + VAC)

manipulation tools consisting:
- 6 Digital Sound Control settings: (Digital, Pop, Classic,
Rock, NewAge, Electric)
- 6 Virtual Ambience Control: (Hall, Cinema, Arcade,
Concert, Disco, Cyber)
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.
