wOOx™ Technology

wOOx technology is a revolutionary
lo

udspeaker concept that allows you to hear
and feel profoundly deep bass that is richer
than any other audio system. Special speaker
drivers work in harmony with the wOOx bass
radiator, and precise tuning between the main
driver and the tweeter ensures smooth
transitions from low-mid to high frequencies.
Dual suspension and a totally symmetrical
sandwich construction deliver low and precise
base without noticeable distortion. wOOx
produces exceptionally deep and dynamic bass
by using the speaker box full volume to truly
magnify the impact of the music.

Radio Data System (RDS)

The Radio Data System (RDS) lets you tune
in

to radio stations without having to
remember the frequencies. In standard mode.
RDS displays the station name instead of the
transmission frequency, facilitating quick and
easy tuning. RDS also allows stations to send
text messages such as news and station
information directly to the radio display.
Commonly used in Europe, RDS text is sent
out on the same frequency the radio station
broadcasts on. You can choose either the basic
RDS display (station name) or subscribe to
additional text-based services.

Digital Sound Control

Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of
pre-set Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classical controls
you can use to optimise the frequency ranges
for different musical styles. Each mode uses
graphic equalizing technology to automatically
adjust the sound balance and enhance the most
important sound frequencies in your chosen
music style. Ultimately, Digital Sound Control
makes it easy for you get the most out of your
music by precisely adjusting the sound balance
to match the type of music you are playing.
