Panasonic S-X50E 120W Hi-Fi System with DAB+ Radio, CD, USB, iPod Dock - Black

120W RMS of LincsD-Amp power drives a 3-way bass-reflex speaker system for deep bass, clear mids, and sparkling highs. The Panasonic S-X50E is a complete music hub with DAB+ and FM radio, CD playback, USB MP3, and an integrated iPod/iPhone dock.

Overview

The S-X50E combines a 2 x 3-way bass-reflex speaker configuration, each featuring a 14cm woofer, 1.9cm soft dome tweeter, and 1.2cm piezo super tweeter. This arrangement ensures accurate sound across the frequency range. The LincsD-Amp amplifier delivers 120W RMS with high efficiency and low distortion, while Digital Re-master technology enhances compressed audio formats like MP3 for richer playback.

Connectivity is straightforward: play CDs (including CD-R/RW and MP3 discs), tune into DAB/DAB+ or FM stations with RDS, plug in a USB drive with MP3 files, or dock your iPod/iPhone for direct digital connection. An AUX-in port accepts other audio sources, and a headphone output is provided for private listening. The clear LCD display and included remote control make operation simple, while sleep, play, and record timers add convenience.
