| Crystal-clear, room-filling sound |
|
|---|---|
| 5 speakers powered by 5 dedicated digital amplifiers |
The Play:5 uses 5 state-of the-art digital amplifiers individually coupled with 5 speakers to deliver superior sound to any room. The wireless music system provides crystal-clear, high-quality sound that rivals much larger, more complicated systems. A subwoofer produces powerful bass while two mid-range drivers and two tweeters fill out the sound. |
| Class-D amplifiers |
State of the art, great sounding amplifiers that are light weight, powerful and very energy efficient in standby and use. |
| Tweeters |
2 tweeters create a crisp and accurate high frequency response. |
| Mid-range drivers |
2 dedicated mid-range drivers ensure the faithful reproduction of mid-range frequencies crucial for accurate playback of vocals and instruments. |
| Subwoofer driver |
Dedicated subwoofer driver provides deep, powerful bass you can feel. |
| All-digital sound architecture |
From the recording studio to your home the music is reproduced as the artist intended. All filter settings, active equalization, and time-alignment are done in the digital domain through state-of-the-art DSP circuitry so there’s absolutely no loss of audio quality or energy. |
| Acoustic port |
The acoustic port on the rear of the unit serves two purposes – it’s vital to the sound output of the Play:5 when in use and it’s also a convenient handle when moving it from one room to another. |
