L• Best of Innovation­s Home Theater Category Philips Fidelio B5 Wireless Surround Soundbar Speaker

The Philips Fidelio B5 wireless surround soundbar speaker is a smart and versatile soundbar. The latest addition to the premium Philips Fidelio range, it offers the perfect solution for those looking for a stylish and authentic cinema experience at home.

A major new innovation in the Philips Fidelio range, the soundbar and its two wireless detachable speakers can also be used as independen­t Bluetooth speakers. The Fidelio B5 delivers crystal clear sound performanc­e for TV, movies and music. From stereo to surround sound in seconds

Used in its standard configurat­ion, the Fidelio B5 delivers great sound for TV shows and movies day-to-day.

When it comes to fully immersing yourself in the action, simply place the two wireless detachable speakers behind you for a real surround sound experience. Thanks to its advanced calibratio­n algorithm, you don’t need to worry about the positionin­g of the detachable speakers. Once you’ve placed them where you want them, run the embedded calibratio­n algorithm to ensure perfectly balanced surround sound regardless of where the speakers are placed in the room.

Balanced, dynamic, and immersive surround sound is delivered by the soundbar’s audiophile-grade 3-inch full range drivers and premium soft dome tweeters by Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II technology. Thanks to the inclusion of proprietar­y wireless audio technology, there isn’t any risk of network interferen­ce between the wireless detachable speakers, no matter where you place them in the room.

The Fidelio B5 offers a sophistica­ted design with a minimalist approach that includes a premium aluminum finish. Even the cloth covering the speaker is advanced: it’s treated with a special coating that ensures resistance to dust and any accidental spills of liquid, but at the same time it’s breathable, letting sound waves pass through freely. Speakers that move with you

Every part of the soundbar, including the main bar and the two detachable speakers, can be used as independen­t Bluetooth speakers. Versatile and powerful, place the detachable speakers anywhere in your home or garden: their battery can last up to 5 hours for music and up to 10 hours in movie mode with just one full charge, so you can sit back, relax and enjoy your favorite music and films.
