Philips Electronics White Paper

Affordable pricing.
Unlike vertical markets, mainstream consumer demand
requires that the sound cards be less that $50 (less than 10%
of the average PC price). As a result, the suggested retail price
of the Sonic Edge 5.1 is well under $50 (the Dynamic Edge 4.1
is half that).
Philips.
Royal Philips Electronics has been marketing technology into
the home for over 100 years. Its core strengths in driving
standards, innovation, consumer expertise, audio and video
intellectual property and extensive display technology allows
Philips to uniquely bridge the gap between the personal
computer and digital homes and vehicles.

television sets, lighting, electric shavers, medical diagnostic
imaging and patient monitoring, and one-chip TV products. Its
184,000 employees in more than 60 countries are active in the
