Wedge is the Shape of Hi-Res Stereo Sound
Bowers & Wilkins' Formation Wedge wireless active speaker delivers room-filling audio from one stylishly shaped and finished speaker. Five precisely angled drivers provide true stereo sound, making Wedge the hi-res speaker that sounds even better than it looks.
Experience legendary Bowers & Wilkins audio quality, married with purposeful design that is meant to please the eyes as well as the ears. True to the company's heritage of uncompromising sound quality, the unique 120-degree elliptical speaker shape was created to hold a full-range of high frequency, midrange, and subwoofer components for a true stereo effect, with calculated, angled drivers so sound reaches every part of a room.
Stream in 96 kHz/24-bit quality and sync easily with other Bowers & Wilkins Formation speakers for a complete high-fidelity, multiroom set up. Formation Wedge, as part of the Formation Suite, is yet another example of how Bowers & Wilkins defines what it calls the Highest Form of Sound™.
Room-Filling, Full-Range Sound
For room-filling, full-range sound, the Formation Wedge has three two 1" double dome tweeters, two 3.5" FST midrange drivers, and one 6" subwoofer. The built-in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Digital Amplifier provides power delivery of 2 x 40W tweeter, 2 x 40W midrange, 1 x 80W subwoofer, for total system power of an impressive 160 watts.
Overflowing with Capability
Formation Wedge will enable you to listen to audio from streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and Roon, and listen to network stored audio files. You can also listen to audio over Bluetooth from appropriately enabled Bluetooth source devices, to audio from devices such as turntables (via a phono preamp) and CD players that are connected to a Bowers & Wilkins Formation Audio or other Formation devices (optional, sold separately), and to audio from Internet Radio, Apple AirPlay, or Bluetooth compatible services and apps. You can listen to audio playing anywhere in your home on any Formation device connected to your home network.
The Bowers & Wilkins Home app is required to connect your Formation Wedge to your home network and also to establish connection with other Formation products in your home.
The New Wireless Revolution
Formation is the name of Bowers and Wilkins' exclusive wireless technology. Formation guarantees a flawless listening experience, no matter how extensive your system. Using a robust, independent network, Bowers & Wilkins' wireless speakers deliver perfect room-to-room synchronization and outstanding sound. Set-up and control is easy, too.
Complete Control is Yours
Control your entire Bowers & Wilkins wireless audio system using the company's Music app for iOS and Android. Organize your speakers into groups, integrate your favorite streaming services, and enjoy an unrivaled combination of high-resolution audio performance and absolute convenience.
The Bowers & Wilkins Home app enables you to select and play any available audio source or stream. In much the same way that conventional audio source playback requires initiation through a play command, Formation streams must be first initiated through their own gateway app: the Spotify app for example, or a music library app such as Roon. Each gateway or library app will list your Formation Wedge space as an available playback device using Airplay, Bluetooth or in the case of Spotify, Spotify Connect.
Once audio streams are playing on the Formation network they can be selected via the Bowers & Wilkins Home app or via the Formation Wedge top panel Form touch button. Touching the Form button will cycle though the available streams and sources.
