In line with Philips’ brand value of ‘Sense and Simplicity’, the two models have been designed to enhance the user entertainment experience combining Hi-fi music system and Home Theatre technology.

Philips Electronics India director- entertainment solutions, consumer electronics division Gunjan Srivastava says, “Philips is always committed to creating customer centric innovations. In this age of convergence with space being a major constraint, consumers are looking at a single product with multiple functionalities and benefits. With the launch of the Wall Theatre range, we are fulilling this customer need to combine best of Hi-fi music system and Home Theatre technology in one product.”

The firm says that MCD 988 is the world’s first wall-mountable Micro Theatre with Moving Surround Sound with Dolby Virtual Speakers that glide out from each speaker unit in order to transmit sound from an optimal position. The system does not only provide an optimal surround sound experience but also allows consumers to ‘visualise’ this experience.

The class ‘D‘ digital amplifier takes an analogue signal, converts it into a digital signal and then amplifies the signal digitally. The amplified digital output delivers all the advantages of digital audio, including improved sound quality. In addition, the class ‘D‘ digital amplifier has greater than 90% efficiency compared to traditional AB amplifiers. This high efficiency translates into a powerful amplifier with a small footprint.
