The Philips B97 offers Dolby Atmos and Dolby Surround. This brings the theatre experience into your living space or home theatre. Not just limited to movies, Atmos enhances all your media including music, games and even podcasts. It offers a new multidimensional experience by placing sounds on a 3D plane. Using up-firing speakers on the B97 you get the full effect of a bullet racing past your favourite protagonists head in the latest high octane blockbuster and every beat of the drum in the crowd watching your favourite artist perform with unrivalled realism. Atmos takes surround sound and evolves it to new heights for a whole new experience.
Play-Fi and Philips Sound app
Wireless eco-systems are becoming more useful in our lives, they allow us to play music around the house on multiple speakers, send messages and we can even ask for meal ideas and recipes. The Philips B97 allows you to use your favourite eco-system with easy integration whether you use Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri or Google Assistant. What's more, this bar is DTS Play-Fi compatible allowing you to sync compatible speakers for true surround sound around the room and link to speakers around the house for multi-room audio, so when you want uninterrupted playback of your favourite podcast when walking to the kitchen you can simply cast to a different speaker with the free Play-Fi or Philips Sound app.
Versatile source selection
The B97 offers a multitude of source selection options so you can watch movies and TV shows, and listen to hi-res audio from whichever source you choose. Airplay 2, Spotify Connect and Bluetooth connection options allow you to stream your favourite podcast and playlists at the touch of a button, while dual HDMI inputs and HDMI eARC with 4K HDR passthrough allows you to get the best sound and vision possible from video sources with no loss of resolution. Whether it's movies and games or playlists and podcasts Philips B97 has got you covered.
Detachable satellite speakers
The cinema experience means impactful bass, crystal-clear dialogue and immersive audio that wraps around you, placing you in the action. This is achieved in part by surround speakers which bring movies to life placing audio to the side and rear of your seat. The B97 can achieve this through its use of Dolby Surround and Dolby Atmos technology, but for those extra special movie nights, the B97 has a special feature up its sleeve to truly bring the cinema to your living room. Two detachable speakers can be removed from the soundbar and situated around you in the room, achieving theatre-like effects adding sparkling highlights to your audio experience.
