Fidelio SoundSphere DesignLine is a Philips agship home
cinema speaker system designed to provide a pure sound
experience for consumers. This entails having the perfect
balance between performance and style, with well-
dened acoustic properties – all beautifully packaged in a
distinctive design. Three key elements that set the Fidelio
SoundSphere DesignLine apart are its timeless design;
honesty and authenticity of its selected materials – like
real wood, metals and nishing, and the premium quality
and harmony of all its composite forms and ne details.
The chrome nishing used for the neck allows the product
to blend perfectly with any interior design. Contrast this
with the black speaker grille that greatly emphasizes the
oating tweeter, which is what gives the SoundSphere its
unique design character. In fact, the speakers are designed
to look stunning from every angle.
The design and acoustics engineering are explicitly linked.
Its elegantly rounded form is not just the result of design,
it actually serves to enhance sound performance. Without
any straight surfaces, it radiates all the sound waves evenly
around the speaker to reproduce better audio signals and
a far superior sound enjoyment experience. The selection
of genuine wood for the cabinet and metal for the tweeter
housing – both inert materials, which are dense and
solid – makes for good sound dampening. This removes
any coloration in sound reproduction, so the listener can
appreciate clear yet natural audio.

SoundSphere DesignLine technology
Fidelio SoundSphere DesignLine was conceived to closely
recreate the acoustic holy grail of a point source: a theoretical
ideal speaker that generates all frequencies from a single
position in space.
Its tweeters are strategically positioned 1.1 meters above
the oor, which is the optimal seated ear level. The 6.5”
subwoofer is encased in a conical sphere, producing tight
and powerful bass. Precise audio crossover engineering and
careful positioning of the tweeter and subwoofer greatly
minimizes interference.
The free-oating dedicated tweeters above the speaker box
deliver truly natural, deep and wide sound image. Sound
is allowed to radiate more freely and eectively in a room
without possible interferences from the speaker box and
between the speaker drivers.
SoundSphere DesignLine creates a wider and deeper
soundstage from non-directional sound waves radiating in
free space. Its immersive sound possesses exceptional three-
dimensional quality, so that every instrument can be clearly
discerned. SoundSphere technology also sends o sound
waves freely, which lls the room with life-like acoustics,
generating a much wider sweet spot than regular speaker
boxes. You can enjoy natural three-dimensional sound no
matter where you sit in the room.
The SoundSphere DesignLine experience is marked by
unprecedented high-denition sound with detailed bass,
uncolored midrange, clean highs and believable vocals –
exactly how music should sound as if it was performed live
right in front of you.
Fidelio SoundSphere DesignLine
dares to be dierent. Its technological
breakthroughs allow it to deliver
sound like a single source while
creating a wide and deep
soundstage. It is certain to make a
statement.”
