With its IR learning function Formation Bar can learn your TV remotes volume commands giving seamless control.
Wireless Subwoofer
To enhance the sound of your Formation Bar even further this package includes the Formation Bass, a unique wireless subwoofer with performance far beyond what you would usually expect for such a compact design.
Wireless Surround Speakers
This package includes two Formation Flex wireless speakers to act as the rear surround sound channels giving the ultimate home-cinema experience for all your favourite movies, TV shows, sports events and games.
Serious Hi-Fi Performance
