FWC870 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. wOOx Technology double suspension = double excursion excursion 2 excursion 1 suspension 2 suspension 1 excursion 1 excursion 2 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 61/2" woofer for smooth low and mid range reproduction, one 21/2" ferro-fluid cooled tweeter and one 1" Polydome tweeter for crisp high tones. 61/2" top wOOx Bass Radiator entrance bass reproduction together with wOOx Duplication Control.
