Just a few days ago Bowers & Wilkins introduced their Formation Suite. They call it the highest form of sound. Let’s take a closer look at the Wedge; the ultimate tool to fill up your room with superior stereo sound. That’s the promise the British manufacturer makes. Let’s check it out.
Audio quality marries purposeful design
With Bowers & Wilkins Formation Wedge, experience legendary, room-filling Bowers & Wilkins audio quality, married with purposeful design that is meant to please the eyes as well as the ears. True to our 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 96/24 quality and sync easily with other 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 the Highest Form of SoundTM.
Mesh network
Formation products create a mesh network. Each product in this network dynamically chooses the optimal path to route audio-data between products, in order to ensure a robust streaming experience. We have therefore certified Formation products for High Network Availability (HiNA) and conform to the appropriate power requirements set out in the ERP directive.
