The electronics maker boasts that MCD 988 is the world’s first wall-mountable Micro Theatre that packs in Moving Surround Sound with Dolby Virtual Speakers that glide out from each speaker unit in order to transmit sound from an optimal position. Further more, the system does not only provide an optimal surround sound experience but also lets users actually ‘visualize’ this experience.

What’s more, the Multi-format playability makes it possible for users to play most file formats for maximum listening and viewing pleasure, including MP3, WMA, JPEG and the popular DivX digital media format.

The class ‘D’ digital amplifier takes an analogue signal, converts it into a digital signal and then amplifies the signal digitally. The amplified digital output delivers all the benefits of digital audio, such as enhanced sound quality. Further on, the class ‘D’ digital amplifier has more than 90% efficiency as compared to traditional AB amplifiers, and it this high efficiency that converts into a powerful amplifier with a small footprint.

The Philips MCD 288 and MCD 988 wall mountable Micro theatres are available for Rs 29,990 and Rs 14,990 respectively at all at leading outlets across India.
