Welcome to Bowers & Wilkins and Formation Duo.
Thank you for choosing Formation. When John Bowers rst established Bowers
& Wilkins he did so in the belief that imaginative design, innovative engineering
and advanced technology were keys that could unlock the enjoyment of audio
in the home. That belief continues to inspire every product we design and in
Formation has found its most advanced expression yet.
Formation Duo is a network connected, wireless stereo active network speaker
system that provides extremely high performance reproduction of Formation
audio streams. Formation Duo are primarily intended to be congured and
controlled using the Bowers & Wilkins Home app. The app is available for both
iOS and Android devices. Some commonly used control functions are also
available via touch buttons on the Formation Duo front panels. It is only possible
to install and congure Formation Duo using the Bowers & Wilkins Home app.
Formation Duo will enable you to:
• Listen to audio from streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and Roon.
• Listen to network stored audio les.
• Listen to audio over Bluetooth from appropriately enabled Bluetooth source
devices.
• Listen to audio from devices such as turntables (via a phono preamp) and CD
players that are connected to a Bowers & Wilkins Formation Audio.
• Listen to audio, such as Internet Radio, from Airplay or Bluetooth compatible
services and apps.
• 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 Duo
to your home network and also to establish connection with other Formation
products in your home. The Bowers & Wilkins Home app and also provides some
control and conguration functions during use. Before you begin your Formation
Duo installation please download and install the Bowers & Wilkins Home app on
your iOS or Android device. The Bowers & Wilkins Home app requires iOS V11.4
or later, or Android V8.1 or later. Bluetooth, and WiFi services must be enabled
on your iOS or Android device. You will also need to know your WiFi network
password.
Note: Location Services must be enabled on Android devices during the
Formation setup process. This is because Formation products use a low power
form of Bluetooth (BT-LE) for service communication which on Android devices is
only switched on when Location Services are enabled. Bowers & Wilkins do not
use any location services data for marketing purposes.
