Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3

Alexa voice control and access to a wide range of music streaming services make it a smart powerhouse. Finally, experience your favourite movies, TV shows and songs exactly as they were meant to be heard.

Thanks to its particularly flat and unobtrusive design, the Panorama 3 fits perfectly with today's low TV boards. Its interior is based on a similar scalable platform to the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin. This means it can be further developed in the future and upgraded with features such as a multi-room function. It also offers all the key functions of Zeppelin such as AirPlay 2 and aptX Adaptive Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, Alexa voice control and support for numerous music services. Access to all these functions is via the Bowers & Wilkins Music App.

Panorama 3 is a breeze to install and set up. Its slim design allows it to be placed in front of the TV without obscuring the lower part of the screen. A metal wall bracket is also included for wall mounting. Connection is simple: an HDMI ARC/eARC connection is all that is needed to connect the Panorama 3 to the TV and play back sound from other sources such as set-top boxes or game consoles. When connected via HDMI cable, users can also conveniently control the volume and other functions of the soundbar via the remote control of their TV set, satellite or cable TV receiver. An optical digital input is available for older TV sets. The Panorama 3 can learn the most important commands of the TV remote control and thus ensure convenient control.

Panorama 3 is the first Bowers & Wilkins soundbar to feature upward-firing Dolby Atmos drivers. The 50mm drivers are specifically designed for spatial sound effects, and are positioned at an angle on the top of the cabinet for optimum all-round sound. A sophisticated Dolby Atmos decoder and processor also ensures great sound for spatial audio soundtracks of TV shows, movies, games and streaming music. The decoder also easily handles Dolby Digital and Dolby TrueHD audio streams.

In addition to the two Dolby Atmos drivers radiating upwards, the Panorama 3 has driver units radiating to the front on the left, centre and right: two 50 mm midrange speakers and an acoustically decoupled 19 mm titanium dome tweeter in each case. Two 100 mm subwoofers with their own enclosure volume, which occupies a large part of the Panorama 3, provide deep, far-reaching bass and make the connection of an external subwoofer unnecessary.

With a total of 400 watts of power, the Panorama 3 is one of the most powerful soundbars in its class. Each tweeter, midrange pair, subwoofer and Dolby Atmos speaker chassis delivers 40 watts of power.
