The
Philips Black Box ushers in The New Obsession as it hits Manila during the
Yahoo! Techno Storm Expo at the Trinoma Activity Center. The Philips Black Box
is a special sound cube designed for uninterrupted audio listening to various
Obsessed with Sound speakers and headphones that it houses.
The
Philips Black Box aims to provide an authentic listening venue for consumers wherein
they can truly test Philips’ range of Fidelio products and accurately evaluate
it for themselves. The enclosure will give consumers a whole new appreciation
of high quality, crisp audio, and of hearing music exactly as the artist intended.
Every detail of sound can be heard with the best quality audio output through
the Fidelio range of products.
Inside
the Black Box are the Philips Fidelio range of headphones and speaker systems,
which are all high fidelity audio systems tailor-made for the discerning sound
lover.
The Fidelio Range
The SoundBar is Philips’ range of
all-in-one speaker systems that are designed and engineered to play high
definition movies and music, wirelessly or otherwise, and at the same time producing
high quality audio true to the original.
The range includes the SoundBar
CSS5123 that boasts of superior sound quality due to its integrated
powerful speakers and wireless subwoofer. According to Philips, its precisely
angled speakers create a surround sound effect (Virtual Surround Sound
Technology), while its DoubleBASS technology enhances the bass for deeper,
fuller effect.
The SoundBar HTL5120 on the
other hand, is equipped with an integrated subwoofer, Dolby Digital
integration, as well as an orientation sensor that instantly optimizes audio
quality regardless of the speaker’s placement. Bluetooth connectivity also
allows users to play music from any Bluetooth-enabled device.
The SoundBar CSS2123 and CSS2115 are smaller sized speakers that
churn out big sound as both eliminate muffled audio due to two dedicated
tweeters. It also utilizes Virtual Surround Sound, DoubleBASS, and Digital
Dolby technologies.
Audiophiles looking for premium headphones that deliver crisp and
true-to-original sound will appreciate the Fidelio
L1 and Fidelio M1. The
over-the-ear L1 headphones offer powerful, vented and pre-tilted neodymium
drivers as well as a semi-open back architecture that provides more natural and
uncolored sound. It is designed to control sound leakage and has a vent in the
drivers’ center for a controlled bass and transparent mid-range. Meanwhile, the
M1, which is primarily intended for outdoor listening, preserves sound details due
to an acoustic seal that’s built in the internal chamber. Double-layered
ear-shells also result in cleaner sound and reduced vibration.
The Fidelio SoundRing DS3880W is
a sleek, wireless, dock-and-charge circular speaker, also making an appearance
in the Black Box. With a premium-looking 360-degree design, the SoundRing
offers powerful sound, evenly distributed in a room. Four high-definition
directional speakers create an omni-sound effect, allowing the speaker to
radiate clear sound regardless of its position. It is equipped with a
proprietary wireless technology from Apple called AirPlay, for easy
connectivity and streaming. Users can also charge their Apple devices through
the USB port located at the charging base.
Travellers can gain a companion in the Shoqbox, a compact speaker that delivers clear, big sound through
powerful twin drivers. Ideal for the great outdoors, it produces clear and deep
bass with acoustic precision and operates on Bluetooth technology, allowing
users to stream music from any Bluetooth device. Bluetooth also allows users to
pair two Shoqbox speakers and get stereo sound from left and right. The Shoqbox
can be controlled through motion sensor and a built-in microphone is also
available for taking those phone calls hands-free.
The Fidelio Docking System for
Android is the first of its kind, allowing wireless music streaming via
Bluetooth, and charging Android devices via docking. An innovative FlexiDock
system allows users to adjust the dock to fit the Android device. The speaker
offers clear and balanced sound, even at high volumes due to a curved back
design that’s also best for acoustics. The curve increases the stiffness of the
speaker cabinet, dramatically reducing internal resonance and resulting in
crisp, high-definition sound.
For Apple users, the Fidelio
Wireless Speaker with AirPlay will do the trick. Designed for iPod, iPhone,
iPad, and AirPlay-enabled Apple devices, this speaker utilizes AirPlay technology
that allows users to play music wirelessly Its SoundCurve design provides an optimal medium for sound
reproduction.
