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)

The sound Navigation System is a complete set of sound 
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.
