The FWB- MC 50/17 is a personal stereo system designed by the consumer-electronics juggernaut, Philips. It features a programmable CD player, cassette tape player and AM/FM radio. It has two independent speakers for optimal positioning for stereo sound. The specifications of the MC 50 will let you know what it is capable of.
General Info
The power runs on the United States standard 120-volt outlet, at a rate of 60 Hz. It consumes power at a rate of 15 watts while idle and 60 watts while in operation. The total power output of the amplifier is 50 watts. It is finished in a polystyrene/metal material, and the base, without the speakers, weighs 11.18 pounds. The speakers' dimensions are 7.09 inches high x 9.61 inches x 8.46 inches thick, and they each weigh 5.79 pounds.
Sound
The impedance, or the amount of static noise added to the intended sound, is rated at 6 omega. The speakers are 2-way directional with the standard face-fronting speakers, in addition to the speakers positioned on the top of the speaker boxes. They feature Bass-Reflex technology, which maximizes the bass sound. Each speaker has a 5.25" metal cone woofer and a 1" Ferrofluid tweeter.
Tuner
The FM wave range clocks in between 87.5 and 108 megahertz, which is the standard range of analog radio stations in the United States. Also standard is the wave range of AM stations, between 530 and 1700 megahertz.
CD Player
The CD player allows you to program the order of up to 40 tracks for a personalized playback of your CDs. It has a frequency response of 20 to 20,000 hertz, which provides the full range of sounds possible on the CD. The signal-to-noise ratio, or the amount of static sound, is less than 76 decibels. The channel separation is less than 79 decibels.
Tape Player
The frequency response of the tape player is between 60 and 15,000 hertz, giving it a fair range of producible sounds, regardless of the type of material the tape is made of. The signal-to-noise ratio of a normal tape is less than 47 decibels, and, for a metallic tape (CrO2), it is less than 50 decibels.
