Celebrating 100 years of Philips audio

[Nairrk]

​

The Century family celebrates the first 100 years of Philips audio.

• Five new products will be launched as part of the celebratory Philips Audio Century Series including two turntable based all-in-one systems, a new DAB/FM portable radio and two new headphone models – with all due to be available in September.
• Named The Tina (Philips V9000) – is the world’s most powerful, all-in-one integrated turntable system offering 120W RMS power and including both DAB+/FM tuner and streaming functionality.
• The Stevie: (Philips V3000) – is an entry level integrated turntable system.
• The Janet (Philips V2000) – is a Portable Radio with DAB+/FM.
• The Freddie Philips (SHP9500CY) – is a retro styled, open backed, over-ear wired headphone.
• The Ringo (Philips H2000) – is a retro styled, compact & light weight on-ear headphone.
• Sustainability plays a key role with all the Century products – recycled plastics and plastic free packaging are used in the range.

TP Vision is launching the Philips Century range of five audio products each designed to celebrate the brand’s role as a true pioneer in the world of audio for over a century.

Philips was one of the key brands to facilitate the commercialisation of consumer radio in the 1920’s, being instrumental in the development of essential components such as the introduction of the Miniwatt Radio Tube – and including the launch of the first Pentode tube in 1925, still beloved by audiophiles to this day.

The first Philips branded radio – the type 2501- followed shortly afterwards, with the company going on to launch groundbreaking radios throughout the 1930’s and 1940’s before launching the legendary Philetta series in the 1950’s – models that remain avidly in demand from collectors to this day.

We had a philips radio in 80s and my first colour TV was a philips which ran flawlessly for 11 years. Somewhere along the line, they lost it.

We had a philips radio in 80s and my first colour TV was a philips which ran flawlessly for 11 years. Somewhere along the line, they lost it.

They didn't lose it, business wise. Like any other mega corporate, they chose high margin and high-volume businesses.
