Panasonic SC-PMX4

The SC-PMX4 is a mini stereo from Panasonic that was sold in Europe in 2008. In some countries it was called the SC-PMX3.

Yeah yeah, we know, you think mini systems are garbage. But this is one of the better quality ones, and it is very space-efficient (only 24CM tall and 35CM deep). It has a single-disc CD player and a radio tuner. It also has a USB port that lets you record CD's onto a USB drive. A 3.5mm input labelled "Music Port" serves as a Line input. There is also an iPod port on the back.

Like most mini systems, it has EQ settings and simulated Surround Sound, but if you prefer, you can just use the Bass and Treble knobs on the front.

The 3-way speakers include a 14CM PP Mica woofer with rubber surrounds, a 19.5CM bass reflex tube, a 1.9CM soft dome tweeter with neodymium magnet, and a 1.5CM piezo super tweeter. The crossover frequencies are 5.3kHz and 10kHz.

According to the owners manual, it can produce 2x80 watts RMS @ 10% distortion, with both channels driven. But how is that possible, when the label on the back says total consumption is only 85 watts? Panasonic also says it has "Pure Water" capacitors, which is a silly name, because if they really contained pure water, then there would be no electrolyte, and hence they could not function as electrolytic capacitors.
