Gotham Gadgets: Philips Micro Music System Dock for Ipod/Iphone DCM2055/37 Highly Recommended by Whom You Know! Fantastic For Listening to Chris Botti's Impressions this Summer!

Everyone that is an avid Whom You Know reader has a sense of Peachy's finger on the pulse of the latest and greatest, and Philips really recognized it when they said she picked out the very newest item to review!  This hot little number came out on April 6, 2012 and we hope we are the first to tell you because Philips has done a great job.  We believe we are the first anywhere to review their absolutely jamming Micro Music System!  At a towering 5'2" Peachy Deegan believes that great things come in small packages and this fantastic music maker is just that.  In a world of apple products that we don't live in because we love Lenovo the best, we love how this hot new system by Philips offers the ability to play cd's and listen to FM radio with a sleek, compact design employed.  It is ideal for everyone that wants sound and has no space in Manhattan!  And when we have friends over that do like that fruit product, they can be kept happy too.  

What do we love about you Philps Micro Music System?  Let us count the ways: this Philips micro music system comes with a dock 

for the iPod/iPhone and with a USB Direct for portable devices. Whether wall-mounted or 

on a tabletop, the system simply looks sensational.  You know it is so important to look great in your Chez Peachy!  No ridiculous, strange looking speakers here.  Just beauty! And most importantly, ease of use and terrific sound! 

A motorized sliding front door adds even more panache to the already sleek design of this system. The stylish yet functional door housing the disc slides up and down vertically in a smooth motion at the touch of a button whenever you feel like changing your music selection, but we're not sure why anyone would want to change Impressions by Chris Botti since we are listening to it on repeat all summer. Just sit back and enjoy the dynamic sound performance while watching the disc play through the transparent window.  You may even find yourself Chacha-Peachy-ing around the room, you're so uplifted by the sound!

Dynamic Bass Boost maximizes your music enjoyment by emphasizing 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.  

Audio compression technology allows large digital music files to be reduced up to 10 times in size without radically degrading their audio quality. MP3 or WMA are two of the compression formats that let you enjoy a world of digital music on your Philips player. Download MP3 or WMA songs from authorized music sites on the Internet or create your own MP3 or WMA music files by ripping your audio CDs and transferring them onto your player.

Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of pre-set Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classic 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.  

Simply tune into the station that you want to preset, press and hold the preset button to memorize the frequency. With preset radio stations that can be stored, you can quickly access your favorite radio station without having to manually tune the frequencies each time.

The Radio Data System (RDS) lets you tune into 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.

Bass Reflex Speaker System delivers a deep bass experience from a compact loudspeaker box system. It differs from a conventional loudspeaker box system in the addition of a bass pipe that is acoustically aligned to the woofer to optimize the low frequency roll-off of the system. The result is deeper controlled bass and lower distortion. The system works by resonating the air mass in the bass pipe to vibrate like a conventional woofer. Combined with the response of the woofer, the system extends the overall low frequency sounds to create a whole new dimension of deep bass.

Enjoy your favorite MP3 music while charging your iPod/iPhone! The dock lets you connect your portable device directly to the Docking entertainment system so you can listen to your favorite music in superb sound. It also charges your iPod/iPhone while it plays so you can enjoy your music and not have to worry about your portable player battery running out. The Docking entertainment system automatically charges your portable device while it is docked.
