Philips DS8800W/10 [10/27] Design and acoustic engineering

Design and acoustic engineering

At Philips, acoustic design and product design are inextricably linked. Both groups collaborate

symbiotically throughout the product development process from concept to manufacture.

Before a sound device is ready for production, it is continuously rened in design and acoustics

and passes through countless prototyping tests.

In order to maintain the highest quality standards, every project starts by dening the target

sound performance, and a related technical ‘sound concept’; this will serve as a basis for the

designers and the whole technical team to create the nal product.

The collaboration between product design and acoustics is crucial to ensure the optimal balance

of form and sound performance is achieved so the consumer will get nothing but the best audio

experience in its class. The teams are completely interdependent in dening new sound and

design concepts, working together to create the best listening and aesthetic experience.
