3. Using Your Formation Audio
The Basics
You can use your Formation Audio to play audio
from conventional sources, from streaming services
such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal, from the
Roon music library service and from internet radio
via an appropriate iRadio app. If you have further
Formation devices connected to your network,
Formation Duo speakers for example, conventional
audio sources connected to your Formation Audio
will also be available through the speakers.
Spaces
Spaces are a core concept of the Formation product
family. A Formation “space” is a room or a specic
area in your home in which you listen to music.
Each space can include different combinations of
Formation products. The possible congurations are
displayed in Diagram 2.
Playing Audio
The Bowers & Wilkins Home app enables you to
select and play any available audio source or stream.
However, in much the same way that conventional
audio source playback requires initiation through
a play command, Formation streams must be rst
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 Audio 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 Audio
front panel Form touch button
. Touching the
Form button will cycle though the available streams
and sources.
Formation Audio Front Panel Controls
and Illumination
Your Formation Audio has touch buttons on its
front panel that provide play/pause control, volume
adjustment and source/stream selection.
• Touching the Play/Pause
will alternately stop
and restart audio playback.
Note: Play/pause will only operate if the stream
source has play and pause functions that can
be accessed through Bluetooth or network
connections.
• Touching volume up
or down will adjust
the local volume of any network stream or local
source. Pressing and holding the
and
buttons will continuously increase or decrease
volume.
• Touching the Form button
will cycle through
and play the active streams and sources available
to the Formation Audio.
Form Button illumination
The Formation Audio Form button illumination
changes to indicate a variety of operational states.
The illuminations are displayed in Diagram 3.
