Philips Classic micro sound system DCB188/05

15W RMS, MP3, CD, DAB+, FM, USB, 3.5 mm, Dock for iPod Obsessed with sound

Connect to power - and rich sound - when you dock and charge your iPod/iPhone on this stylishly compact Philips Micro sound system with Dynamic Bass Boost. Enjoy tuning in to favourite music or thousands of cool stations on DAB radio.

Dynamic Bass Boost for deep and dramatic sound

Dynamic Bass Boost maximises your music enjoyment by emphasising the bass content of the music throughout the range of volume settings - from low to high – at the touch of a button! Bottom-end bass frequencies usually get lost when the volume is set at a low level. To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be switched on to boost bass levels, so you can enjoy consistent sound even when you turn down the volume.

DAB for a clear and crackle-free radio experience

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) digital radio is a new way of broadcasting radio, in addition to FM analogue transmission, via a network of terrestrial transmitters. It provides listeners with more choices and information delivered in clear and crackle-free sound quality. The technology allows the receiver to lock on to the strongest signal it can find. With DAB digital stations there are no frequencies to remember, and sets are tuned by station name, so there is no retuning on the move.
