Panasonic SC-PMX92EB-K Micro Hi-Fi System with Bluetooth and DAB+

Very impressive stereo unit,clear and Powerful sound!

Ottimo prodotto peccato non funzionasse una cassa e l’ho dovuto restituire perché non c’era il cambio

NEGATIVES: 1. Speaker cables supplied could be longer.. 2. and a better gauge. POSITIVES: My photos show my 16 gauge speaker cable attached next to the unused Panasonic cable. The positive being screw terminals on unit and speakers. The unit has curves of the Technics I used to sell back in the early 1990's. This unit sounds like a Technics. NB: TECHNICS AND PANASONIC are trade names for their holding company. Back in the 80's and 90's, I sold loads of Panasonic TV and video. Their range of audio hifi would go to about £300 then all hifi above that price would have the name Technics on it. I have attached to the unit a very old tape deck for playback only. No line-out for recording. Also attached is a Panasonic blu-ray player and Samsung TV. I have tried lots of different genres of music at different volumes. Too many to list but I cannot fault any trials. These included: Ambient: BRIAN ENO... Apollo. MP3 Prog: GENESIS... Supper's Ready. CD 2008 mix. PINK FLOYD... Comfortably Numb. CD 2011 remaster. Pop: ABBA... (MAMMA MIA ost) blu-ray ... the bass was more threatening than Motorhead! Quiet s very quiet and loud is very loud for it's location in a bedroom. Sleep mode: 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 Dimmer: low light or light. Bass/ Treble: -4 / +4. Remote Contol: comprehensive (as far as I can tell) DAB+ ... the " + " is important for the reception of some stations... eg Classic FM. Overall, I am once again so impressed. This is good enough to have a Technics logo on it.

I ordered this on behalf of my mum. We wanted a Hi-Fi that she could easily operate and not be bogged down by multiple features and controls. It looks a little plain/ basic but packs a punch in the sound department with 120 watts total volume. The sound is quite rich too. Preset graphic equaliser is limited but you can adjust the base and treble manually. Couldn't pick up many DAB stations so mum is sticking to FM radio (having to hang up the wire aerial which isn't a great look in living room). Connects to Bluetooth (phone) well. Listened to a YouTube music video and the sound quality was very good. Same quality playing CDs. Haven't tested other connections yet. Remote control range is limited. You need to be facing the Hi-Fi directly for it to respond. You can't open the CD tray via remote either. A good deal when it was on sale for £229.

Hmm. First impressions were: radio sounds fantastic, CD sounds fantastic, Bluetooth is a bit lacking. Now: Having run in the speakers over a few weeks, the Bluetooth sound is now full and clear, up to the standards of the CD and radio output. I had relegated this stereo to second choice in my household (in the spare room) as I had problems with the Bluetooth sound at first. However, it is now rightfully back in the living room, as the Bluetooth sound has improved with time. Also, it plays CDs faultlessly, even if they are slightly scratched, which my Philips M4505/12 is not able to. Quite a large footprint for a micro system, but it is worth accomodating the slightly extra size, for the extra power and clarity which this system offers. The volume has more headroom than other systems, going up to 40 or 50 (I haven't reached the full extent yet!) as opposed to 30 on most HiFis. Overall, very good value, stylish to look at, the remote control takes a little bit of getting used to, but is sturdy and reliable. Great sound reproduction across the formats.
