Sound Enhancement

2 x 110 Watts RMS Stereo  

110 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 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

The Sound Navigation System is a complete set of sound 
manipulation tools consisting 

6 Digital Sound Control settings

 : (CLASSIC, ROCK, 

VOCAL, TECHNO, OPTIMAL, JAZZ),

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.
