![]() The Panorama 3 doesn’t have its own dedicated remote, relying on app control, while there’s also Amazon Alexa onboard for hands-free voice commands. If you use the latter, Bowers & Wilkins has included technology for the soundbar to ‘learn’ key TV remote control commands so that users can enjoy the same unified experience as those with eARC connections. Few soundbars include dedicated bass channel drivers, let alone ones of this size, and Bowers & Wilkins say that by placing them in this way, the Panorama 3 can achieve a "deep, extended bass with no need for an external subwoofer".Īt the rear is a single HDMI eARC port and an optical digital input for older TVs. Unusually, the upper surface also houses twin 10cm subwoofers mounted in an acoustic enclosure. Meanwhile, two angled 5cm drivers are on the top to deliver height effects.

Packed inside are 13 individual driver units powered by ten 40 watt amplifiers in a 3.1.2 configuration. The shortness of its stature is impressive but, given that Bowers & Wilkins products are well known for their originality and design flair (see the B&W Zeppelin), we have to admit that the non-descript, slightly squashed custard-slice build of the Panorama 3 is a bit of a disappointment in the looks department. The convex front face is covered in a wrap-around fabric mesh, while the top surface features a perforated metal grille and capacitive ‘hidden until lit’ buttons in the centre, which look very smart until smudged. ![]() Measuring 121cm long, the Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3 is no shrinking violet, but with a 6.5cm ultra low profile form, it can stealthily sneak beneath most TVs without blocking the screen (rigging is included in the box should you prefer to wall-mount).
