IFA 2006, Berlin, Germany – Philips has developed a multi-channel audio solution for home theater systems which delivers full surround sound without speaker and cable clutter.
SonoWave – applied on Philips’ new HTS6510 DVD Home Theatre System – combines highly advanced digital sound processing with an innovative speaker design to deliver true 5.1 channel audio through just with two speakers. The result is immersive surround sound just like any conventional five-speaker system.
Sonowave – sound that embraces the listener
The key to the immersive and embracing listening experience of SonoWave, is steerable sound beams, as opposed to the reflection or ‘bouncing’ techniques of other systems. SonoWave sound technology uses multiple drivers that are precisely angled and powered by a multi-channel amplifier, generating an exceptionally wide listening area.
Digital sound processing creates the center channel from the inner drivers, and specifically diffused sound waves to create surround channels from the outer drivers. The sophisticated speaker design, with a hand-polished, piano-black casing for crystal clear sound quality complements the SonoWave technology. The result is an embracing and immersive authentic 5.1 surround sound experience, which adapts to any type of room, regardless shape or size.
Philips SonoWave lets you experience full surround sound that does not rely on sound reflection off the walls, giving everyone a maximized enjoyment with minimal impact in your living space. After all, you want an embracing sound experience when you enjoy music, movies or TV at home, without the hassle and décor compromise of multiple speakers and cables of a conventional home theatre system. Philips SonoWave gives you a full-on home entertainment experience in your living space, without the clutter.
Easy to connect, set-up and use
The Philips HTS6510 DVD Home Theatre System with SonoWave has a very simple set-up procedure: with just two speakers to connect, the listener is guided through an easy process to help them optimize surround sound settings for any type of room.
