Highlights
Effortless connection
With a Philips Fidelio soundbar, nothing comes between you and the moment.
Whether it’s the removable rear speakers, which can be clicked on or off in
seconds on movie night. A seamless way you can switch between all your
favorite sources. Or the low profile for easy placement. Just unbox, plug in,
and relax.
Feel the drama
This soundbar creates an unforgettably immersive experience. 7.1.2 channels
fill any room with rich, deep soundtracks, thunderous effects, and sparkling
dialogue. The wireless subwoofer adds impact to every explosion and every
beat.
Surround sound on demand Want to fully immerse on movie night? Simply remove
the detachable speakers from the ends of the soundbar and place them behind
you to create a true surround-sound setup. The dedicated center channel
ensures you’ll hear every word—from blockbusters to podcasts.
Dolby Atmos and Dolby Surround
Get the full Dolby Atmos experience from this soundbar’s up-firing speakers. Your favorite movies and shows will sound breathtakingly realistic as sound flows above and around you. If you’re watching non-Atmos content, the soundbar switches to Dolby Surround.
IMAX Enhanced
This powerful soundbar is certified IMAX Enhanced, which means it’s capable of delivering an audio experience that truly takes you to another world. The 240 W subwoofer looks great freestanding, and the soundbar itself has a low profile for simple placement.
Play-Fi. Multi-room and more
DTS Play-Fi compatibility makes this premium Fidelio soundbar a powerful component in a multi-room audio setup. You can easily sync and group Play-Fi- compatible speakers, and stream playlists to every room in high-quality audio without dropping a beat.
All your favorite sources
For music, Spotify Connect lets you stream Spotify’s best-quality signal over
Wi-Fi. You can also stream hi-res playlists from your mobile device via Apple
AirPlay 2 or Bluetooth. For movies and gaming, 4K pass-through lets you
connect 4K HDR video sources with no loss of resolution.
Connect with voice assistants
Ask Alexa-enabled devices, or any speaker that works with the Google Assistant, to play music through the soundbar. Prefer Siri? This soundbar works with Apple AirPlay 2, so you can ask her too. Turn the music up. Skip tracks. All completely hands-free.
