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 Formation Bar can also be wirelessly paired with the Formation Bass subwoofer which produces thunderous bass creating a 3.1 cinema sound.
For the full cinema experience the Formation Bar can also be paired with two Formation Flex Speakers. Creating a full 5.1 wireless surround sound experience.
