Creating the future of sound

Philips’ quest to revolutionize sound and how it is experienced began in 

the early days of radio.

In 1923, we produced the Miniwatt radio valve – a smaller, more powerful 

and energy efficient solution to its current counterpart. It allowed radio 

listeners to replace their headphones with a loudspeaker. For the first time, 

music could be enjoyed as a shared experience. This was just one of many 

innovations to establish Philips as an important leader in audio history.

The Miniwatt’s packaging proudly bore the iconic Philips shield logo, 

featuring distinctive waves and stars that reflected the significance of 

sound within the company. Together, they symbolized radio waves and 

the evening sky because, at the time, families would gather around the 

radio set after dinner to listen to news and shows. These were cherished 

moments that created lasting memories.
