Mini Hi-Fi System
120W
Highlights
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.
Bass Reflex Speaker System
Bass Reflex Speaker System delivers a deep
bass experience from a compact loudspeaker
box system. It differs from a conventional
loudspeaker box system in the addition of a
bass pipe that is acoustically aligned to the
woofer to optimize the low frequency roll-off
of the system. The result is deeper controlled
bass and lower distortion. The system works
by resonating the air mass in the bass pipe to
vibrate like a conventional woofer. Combined
with the response of the woofer, the system
extends the overall low frequency sounds to
create a whole new dimension of deep bass.
