DigitalSound System 80

The DigitalSound System 80,short DSS80,is a three-piece PC audio system co-developed by Microsoft and Philips. The only speaker system ever released by the Microsoft Corporation. It also remains one of the very few featuring Philips' wOOx subwoofer technology.

The DSS80 speaker system

TheDSS80 features technological innovations in comparison with contemporary systems. For instance, it doesn’t require a sound card installed but actually featured its own integrated sound hardware which can be connected via USB and allows digital quality playback, synchronized hardware and software volume controls, the use of a 10-band graphic equalizer and Microsoft Surround Sound.

To support computers without USB, and to enable users to take advantage of present high-end sound hardware, it additionally features 3.5mm analog line-in.

It is possible to connect the system both ways to ensure highest compatibility with both analog and digital audio content.
