WE SAY:
Wireless soundbars are supposed to help give a full, immersive home theatre sound
experience in a compact design, but often they fall short, with too few speakers that
aren’t placed at an optimum angle due to the limited shape and size. With Formation Bar,
Bowers & Wilkins has created a powerful multiroom soundbar that delivers legendary
sound quality with wireless streaming flexibility. Bowers & Wilkins engineers designed
nine optimised drive units born from their legendary loudspeakers and have them
optimally positioned in a sleek design to create a wider, all-inclusive, soundstage, while
a dedicated centre channel layers in crisp, clear dialogue. The combination makes an
entire room “centrestage,” for a truly immersive audio experience that will make your
home theatre experience a part of the Highest Form of Sound™.
