Network Set Up
• With your Formation Bass in setup mode, with its
Form button
illumination pulsing slowly
orange, launch the Bowers & Wilkins Home app
on your iOS or Android device. The app will guide
you with prompts though the set up process.
Note: Formation Bass employs a Bluetooth
connection to the device running the Bowers &
Wilkins Home app during the set up process.
Bluetooth signals have a relatively short range
and can be interrupted by room boundaries, so
we recommend that your Formation Bass and
Bowers & Wilkins Home app device remain in
close proximity during the set up process.
• The Bowers & Wilkins Home app will first search
for Formation products in setup mode and display
a screen inviting the selection of one. Tap to select
your Formation Bass. If you have already set up
a Formation product and are adding an additional
one, select 'Add Formation product' from the app
Settings menu.
• The Bowers & Wilkins Home app will next invite
you to name the "space" in which your Formation
Bass is to be used. A list of default space names
is provided but you can also create your own.
When you have selected, or created, a space
name, the app will ask you to touch the Form
button
on the top of your Formation Bass to
confirm the selection.
• If a wireless network connection for your
Formation Bass is to be used, the next set up
stage will connect your Formation Bass to your
home WiFi network. The app will ask you to
confirm the correct WiFi network and ask you to
input its password. Alternatively, if your Formation
Bass is connected to your network router using an
Ethernet cable, this stage of the set up process
will be bypassed.
Note: If you already have other Formation
products connected to your WiFi network,
Formation Bass set up will not require you input
the WiFi password.
• With WiFi network configuration, and space
selection complete, your Formation Bass is ready
for use. Your Formation Bass will play an audio
prompt to confirm successful set up.
3. Using Your Formation Bass
The Basics
Once installed and configured, your Formation
bass will operate entirely automatically. The only
adjustment you may need to make is of subwoofer
volume relative to the partnered Formation speaker.
This will depend on personal preferences and the
acoustic character of you listening room. To adjust
Formation Bass volume, open the Bowers & Wilkins
Formation app and tap on the settings icon to open
the Settings menu. Now tap on the 'Formation Bass'
to open its settings page and use the volume slider
to make adjustments.
Note: Please remember that your Formation Bass
subwoofer is capable of low frequency volume
levels that have the potential to cause nuisance. If
in any doubt, reduce the volume.
Spaces
Spaces are a core concept of the Formation product
family. A Formation "space" is a room or a specific
area in your home in which you listen to music.
Each space can include different combinations of
Formation products. The possible configurations are
displayed in Diagram 2
