Cinematic sound

This soundbar brings a new dimension of sound to everything you watch and every track you love. 2.1 channels make soundtracks richer, effects more thunderous and dialogue clearer. The wireless subwoofer adds impact to every explosion and every beat.

Dolby Atmos®

Increase the drama no matter what you watch. This Dolby Atmos-compatible soundbar reproduces depth as well as height, creating virtual three- dimensional surround sound that flows above and around you.

Stadium EQ Mode
Experience the excitement of live sports, right there in your living room. Stadium EQ Mode immerses you in ambient crowd noise, just like you were sitting in the stadium! Be thrilled by every crucial moment—and still hear crystal clear commentary.

Play-Fi. Multi-room and more

Easy Play-Fi compatibility will make this soundbar the star of your multi-room setup. You can sync Play-Fi-compatible speakers for multi-room audio or even create a true surround-sound system—all via the Philips Sound app or the Play- Fi app.

All of your favourite 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, a 4K pass-through lets you connect 4K HDR video sources with no loss of resolution.

HDMI eARC
Lose nothing from the mix when you’re immersed in the drama. This soundbar is compatible with HDMI eARC, a high-speed connection that lets you experience the full effect of advanced audio formats like Dolby Atmos. The soundbar also has dual HDMI inputs.

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.

Distinctive geometric design
This soundbar boasts a unique slanted design and a low profile. When it comes to placement, the included wall brackets keep your options open. The compact design of the powerful subwoofer makes it easy to conceal.
