Philips DS9-37 - Manual (Page 25)

Ambisound technology
Through a deep understanding of psychoacoustic phenomena - how you hear, sense
and experience sound - Philips has carefully engineered the design and audio processing
technology, Ambisound, to create a Philips SoundBar product, this provides an embracing
cinematic experience from only one speaker product.
To make the SoundBar impressive both sonically and aesthetically, Philips gave it six
amplifiers and speaker drivers. Creating the effect of impressive sound was one thing; the
art was in controlling it. The cumulative effects of this combination of technology is that no
matter where you sit in your room - or no matter the shape of your room - sound is driven
around you for a truly immersive cinematic experience. In short, you don’t have to sit right
in front; the sound remains wide and natural wherever you sit.
With the patented arrangement of these six drivers, Philips designed the form of the bar
with a long curve driven by the technology inside it - an extremely unique and beautiful
design for a SoundBar. A key influence on the design was the continually diminishing size of
TV’s - as they become thinner and thinner, products such as this are more frequently wall-
mounted.
It was therefore necessary to make the SoundBar thinner to match thin TV’s. Philips
therefore used several optical effects and 3D design elements to create a visual effect so
that when you see it in reality, the 2012 Philips SoundBar looks thin but still delivers the
same great sound that won the Ambisound SoundBar many awards in prestigious magazines
over the years.
“Ambisound technology has set the level for a very
natural yet wide and immersive sound from a single
product below your TV for years - and we keep on
improving it with each new release.”
Gerrit De Poortere, Sound & Acoustics Innovation Engineer
Philips Fidelio SoundBar home theater
Philips Fidelio SoundBar home theater with Ambisound is designed for modern living - a
super slim single unit providing all your entertainment at the touch of a button. It features
Full HD 3D Blu-ray and supports a host of integrated connectivity features. Perfect for
those with a large library of movies on hard disks, PCs, tablets or smartphones, the new
2012 SoundBar model has streaming functionality for playback of any content stored on
an Android tablet, Android smartphone, Apple devices or PC with Philips’ SimplyShare app
(within MyRemote App), plus built-in Wi-Fi functionality so it can be enjoyed on the big
screen of your TV.
The Fidelio SoundBar delivers uncompromised surround sound thanks to Philips’ unique,
proprietary Ambisound technology. Precisely angled drivers positioned within the SoundBar
and the subtle tuning of the array processing create life-like rear sound effects in any room
shape, even in open plan homes, and a wide sweet spot is assured irrespective of where
you are sat. Ambisound differs from other SoundBars due to the six dedicated amplification
channels with Class D amplifiers across the 5.1 channels.
The SoundBar’s super slim design makes it ideal for wall-mounting or positioning beneath
a flat-screen TV. Distinctive design cues with high quality aluminum give the SoundBar a
contemporary, premium finish well suited to the most style-conscious, connected home.
