Philips Fidelio SoundTowers Offer High-Fidelity Sound

Philips launches the Fidelio SoundTowers, a premium sound system for consumers who want high-fidelity playback of audio across a variety of platforms. The sleek Sound Towers are designed to deliver room filling, natural sound without taking up the space of a traditional system and without all the wires. With wireless connectivity, DualDock and CD playback, music lovers are free to enjoy their music however they like.

“The Fidelio SoundTowers are two-way floor-standing speakers designed to integrate all functionalities and electronics without a central unit,” said Benoit Burette, sound innovation engineer at Philips Lifestyle Entertainment. “We applied state-of-the-art techniques for speaker design, including high quality components, passive crossover and tweeters mounted onto a curved outer baffle. This new addition to the Fidelio family offers a premium listening experience regardless of the content, allowing consumers to enjoy their favorite music, movies or even video games.”

The sleek Fidelio Sound Towers feature an acoustic design that delivers music at its purest. Two mid-woofers acting as a doublet are used to limit unwanted floor reflection and improve accuracy in the crossover region, and the cabinet walls are made in a trapezoid shape instead of the traditional rectangle to avoid the build-up of standing waves inside the speaker box. The tweeters are built with a soft dome and a large magnet to reduce sonic distortion and increase separation between individual instruments. In the mid-range, the 4-inch woofers offer higher frequency cone breakup, reducing distortion in the crossover range while providing clearer, more precise sound. Bass ports are precisely aligned to make the mid-woofers produce lower frequencies, extending bass response and delivering deep and punchy yet accurate bass.

Each tower features a sleek and contemporary design than will compliment any décor. Wireless Bluetooth (APT-X and AAC) technology allows for high-quality streaming from a wide array of devices. There is a discreet innovative dual dock on top of the main tower, giving consumers the flexibility to play music from either a Lightning or 30-pin iPhone or iPod. For added convenience the docks also serve to charge your devices. There is also CD slot, USB port and FM Tuner for radio playback. Optical, coaxial and analog inputs give consumers added flexibility to connect to a range of other equipment such as TVs, game consoles and Blu-ray players.
