Description
Overview
The BIC Formula FH56-BAR is a high-power multi-channel sound bar designed to deliver immersive sound from a single enclosure. Unlike typical sound bars that rely heavily on digital processing, the FH56-BAR uses discrete drivers for left, center, right, and ambient surround channels, giving you a fuller and more natural home theater experience without cluttering your room with multiple speakers.
