Philips Launches 'The Tina' Turntable to Celebrate 100 Years of Audio Innovation

Fast forward to today, and Philips continues to honor its heritage. "The Tina" combines a classic design with contemporary features. It's not just a turntable; it's a complete audio system. Equipped with a die-cast aluminum platter and an adjustable aluminum tonearm, it features a replaceable Audio Technica MM cartridge, ensuring high-fidelity playback for vinyl enthusiasts.

But the nostalgia doesn't end there. The system boasts a robust 120 Watt RMS in a 2.1 configuration, delivering rich and powerful sound through two full-range speakers and a dedicated 4-inch bass-reflex subwoofer. For personal listening, there's a 6.3-millimeter headphone jack ready for your favorite wired headphones.

Connectivity is a key aspect of "The Tina". It includes a DAB+/FM tuner for radio lovers, USB audio for digital convenience, and Bluetooth 5.3 streaming with Auracast capability. This means you can effortlessly stream music to a pair of Bluetooth speakers or enjoy wireless playback from your devices.

In addition to "The Tina", Philips is introducing "The Janet" (V2000), a portable radio that blends compact size with impressive features. Measuring just 180 x 100 x 60 millimeters, "The Janet" delivers a surprising 5 Watt RMS sound from its 2.5-inch driver. It offers 20 radio presets, a vibrant 2.4-inch color display, and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity. With up to 16 hours of playtime and a replaceable battery, it's an eco-friendly choice for those on the go.

Sustainability is at the forefront of Philips' Century series, with recycled plastics and plastic-free packaging used across the product range. This commitment reflects not only a respect for their legacy but also a dedication to the future of audio technology.

Philips' celebration of 100 years in audio isn't just about looking back—it's about blending the timeless qualities of their classic designs with the innovations of today. Whether you're a vinyl purist or a modern-day streamer, these new offerings resonate with the spirit of audio enthusiasts everywhere.
