with new Philips SoundBar with Bass Reflex
LAS VEGAS – Today at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Philips launched a new Soundbar speaker (HTL3120) that delivers premium quality sound at great value. For the first time, Philips has combined impressive “Rip” cone technology with Virtual Surround Sound for a fully dynamic and immersive sound experience. The sleek design benefits from a Bass Reflex system which delivers deep bass and can be easily connected to other media devices for a truly connected and thrilling home-entertainment experience.
The intelligently designed Rip pattern optimizes the cone, guaranteeing smooth sound delivery and enhanced frequency response, whilst ensuring accurate replication of voice tone. Coupled with Virtual Surround Sound, this rich and powerful speaker replicates the sonic characteristics that occur in an ideal 5.1 multi-channel environment, using sonic algorithms to duplicate sound and deliver a fully immersive ‘surround-sound’ experience. Adding an extra dimension to the impressive noise filling the room, Philips’ new SoundBar speaker uses a special Bass Reflex system to deliver more bass whilst minimizing low frequency distortion. This results in a controlled, clear and balanced bass to punctuate all your favorite action scenes.
With simplicity and ease of use at the core of its design, the Philips SoundBar also includes 2 HDMI inputs that allow easy connection between media systems or games consoles, so you can enjoy the thrill of full surround sound from any device. For music playback, it connects wirelessly to any Bluetooth-enabled device, so the only wires needed are for power and the connection with the TV. Additionally, this impressive device uses EasyLink which allows control of all HDMI CEC-enabled devices from one single remote, no matter where it’s placed – whether on a wall, tabletop or stand. The HTL3120 will be available in March with a suggested retail price of $179.99.
