Philips FWP3200D DJ-dock for home networks

The Philips FWP3200D DJ-dock for home networks is a system that is pushing the boundaries of a iPod/ iPhone dock. The system combines a speaker system and a dual deck docking station for iPhones or iPods. The Philips FWP3200D DJ-dock for home networks looks like a mobile DJ stage show and in fact operates much like one with its 5.25-inch subwoofers that glow and pulse to your music—and a set of digital turntables letting you mix and scratch your beats.

The rotatable bays which can be accessed by users who are standing or positioned for communal control at say a party. Flashing speaker rings on the Philips FWP3200D DJ-dock for home networks can be programmed to glow red, blue or purple, or an alternating combination. They even pulse in time to the beat of the music. A matching FWP1000 speaker kit can be daisy-chained too, adding a further 240W of amplification and matching lighting.


According to Chris Davies -
Connectivity includes USB and and aux-in port, for use with non-Apple media players, and there’s an included remote control which can be used to switch between the lighting modes. A microphone input is also supplied, and there’s support for the Algoriddim djay app for iPhone and iPod touch.

The usual DJ controller buttons and sliders are present and correct, including a channel fader for switching between the sources, treble/bass controls, and a “power boosting” MAX Sound mode for getting the thumpiest audio from the 300W amplification. Speakers consist of 2-inch tweeters and 5.25-inch woofers, and there’s an FM tuner if you’ve got nothing worth listening to on your phone.

The Philips FWP3200D DJ-Dock is available in the UK now, priced at £299.99 ($470). The FWP1000 speaker kit is also available, priced at £199.99 ($314).

From our perspective the Philips FWP3200D DJ-dock for home networks may find a market but in our opinion the device wasn't designed with looks in mind and is pretty ugly. So time will really tell if the device finds a place in home networks. In the mean time if you are on the look out for a mobile DJ station then the Philips FWP3200D DJ-dock for home networks may be worth looking into.
