Philips makes Analogue meet Digital

Philips has combined the best of both audio worlds – tubes and chips, analogue and digital – to create the MCD908 DVD Micro Theater, a compact home entertainment system with the specification and performance normally reserved for true audiophile products but in a chic and compact package that exudes refined taste and luxury

In the past, individually analogue and digital hi-fi systems have had their audio critics, but by combining the best elements of hi-fi tubes and digital circuits, Philips has been able to develop the MCD908 into a Premium hi-fi product.Hi-fi tubes have long been known to provide an appealing warm sound with very low distortion, while the latest Class ‘D’ digital amplifier is exceptionally efficient, capable of delivering a high power output – 2×75 watts RMS – in a compact system with a small footprint.By combining the two systems, the MCD908 can reproduce a sound that is both exceptionally natural and smooth but with excellent dynamics, punch and speed.

The same design philosophy has been applied to the real wood, three-way speakers which comprise Neodymium Ribbon Tweeters, Silk Dome mid-range tweeters and 5-inch woofers.
Ribbon tweeters radiate higher audio frequencies in a 180-degree arc, dramatically expanding the ‘sweet spot’ to deliver wide, crystal-clear and natural sound. The tweeters combine with the silk dome mid-range drivers to produce a sound that is dynamic and detailed yet also warm and uncolored with low distortion, to provide the sublime acoustic experience consumers are looking for.
