7.1.2 Channels, 620 W Max
Custom-built Fidelio speakers—including two up-firing speakers—let sound flow above and around you. The built-in subwoofer adds real weight. Front left, front right, and center channels all boast tweeters placed between two midrange woofers for crystal-clear speech, vocals, and surround sound.
Dolby Atmos
You get the full Dolby Atmos experience from the FB1 soundbar's dedicated up-firing speakers. Your favorite movies and shows will sound breathtakingly realistic as sound flows above and around you. When watching non-Atmos content, the soundbar adjusts to give you the richest possible sound.
IMAX Enhanced Certified
Your Fidelio FB1 soundbar is certified IMAX Enhanced, which means it's capable of delivering an audio experience that truly matches IMAX's extraordinary sense of scale. From pulse-quickening explosions to heart-stopping whispers—feel every moment of movies originally made to play in IMAX theaters.
HDMI eARC
Lose nothing from the mix when you're immersed in the drama. The FB1 soundbar is compatible with HDMI eARC, a high-speed connection that lets you experience the full effect of advanced audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
Superb with Music
Let the songs you love come alive, as natural Fidelio sound makes the most of the music you stream. Warm, perfectly timed, with rich bass and lush detail in mids and highs. Whether it's Spotify Connect—or playlists streamed via streaming services like Amazon, Spotify, Deezer, or Tidal.
Philips Wireless Home System
This Play-Fi-compatible Fidelio FB1 soundbar lets you build your perfect home-theater sound. Connect the soundbar to an external Fidelio FW1 subwoofer in seconds to add even more depth to the sound of movies and music. For extra immersion, add paired FS1 wireless speakers to create a true surround-sound setup.
