Dynamic Bass Boost
Dynamic Bass Boost maximizes your music
enjoyment by emphasizing the bass content of
the music throughout the range of volume
settings - from low to high – at the touch of a
button! Bottom-end bass frequencies usually
get lost when the volume is set at a low level.
To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be
switched on to boost bass levels, so you can
enjoy consistent sound even when you turn
down the volume.
Digital Sound Control
Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of
pre-set Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classic controls
you can use to optimise the frequency ranges
for different musical styles. Each mode uses
graphic equalizing technology to automatically
adjust the sound balance and enhance the most
important sound frequencies in your chosen
music style. Ultimately, Digital Sound Control
makes it easy for you get the most out of your
FWM185/12
music by precisely adjusting the sound balance
to match the type of music you are playing.
120W RMS
This system has 120W RMS total output
power. RMS refers to Root Mean Square
which is a typical measurement of audio
power, or rather, the electrical power
transferred from an audio amplifier to a
loudspeaker, which is measured in watts. The
amount of electrical power delivered to the
loudspeaker and its sensitivity determines the
sound power that is generated. The higher the
wattage, the better the sound power emitted
by the speaker.
USB Direct
With the USB Direct mode, simply plug in your
USB device to the USB port on your Philips
device and your digital music will be played
directly from the Philips device.
