Bowers & Wilkins has partnered with Formovie to develop an ultra-short-throw laser projector with an integrated sound system.

The Foremovie T1 TriColor projector is the first collaboration between the British audio brand and Chinese laser projection specialist. This is Bowers' latest partnership and product integration, following its successful development of speaker systems for Philips's flagship TVs.

Inside its compact chassis (540 x 330 x 107mm) is also Bowers' stereo sound system, which features twin forward-firing 7cm low- and mid-frequency drivers and a pair of 2cm titanium tweeters, all mounted in an enclosure located at the outer edges of the front baffle for wide dispersion. The two mid/bass drivers are ported to each side of the projector for bringing some brunt to the audio presentation, too.
