Connections

In addition to a mains power socket

your

Formation Bass carries an Ethernet socket

for

connection to a router should a wired network

connection be preferred to wireless (WiFi).

Note: The USB socket located on the Formation

Bass rear panel is intended for service and

diagnostic use only. It cannot be used for any

other purpose.

The Formation Bass has no wired audio connections

and will congure itself automatically during the

setup process to access network audio streams

and to enhance bass appropriately depending on

the characteristics of the partnered speaker. When

partnered with a Formation Bar, the Formation Bass

will automatically switch to reproducing the low

frequency effects (LFE) channel of Dolby Surround

encoded material.

Switch On and Off

With all connections made, and the Bowers &

Wilkins Home app installed on your mobile device,

your Formation Bass is ready to be set up. Your

Formation Bass has no mains power switch and,

following a short start-up routine, will be operational

as soon as it is connected to mains power. It will

play an audio prompt when its startup routine is

complete.

When a Formation Bass that has not been previously

used is rst switched on it will automatically enter

setup mode to enable its connection to your home

network and to any other available Formation

devices. Setup mode is indicated by a slow amber

pulse illumination of the Form touch button

The Formation Bass will also appear in the Bowers

& Wilkins Home app as available for set up after

selecting ‘Add Formation product’ from the app

Settings page.

Your Formation Bass manages its operational state

and power consumption entirely automatically and

will switch to a power saving mode after twenty

minutes of inactivity. There is no need ever to switch

off your Formation Bass, however should you wish

to do so, simply disconnected it from mains power.

Your Formation Bass will retain its settings without

mains power.

You can restart a Formation Bass speaker by a short

press and release of the reset button located on its

rear panel

. Pressing the button will switch the

Formation Bass off and on again. All settings will be

retained when your Formation Bass restarts. You can

also restart your Formation Bass via the Bowers &

Wilkins Home app Settings page.

If you wish to reset your Formation Bass to its

default settings, press and hold the reset button for

ve seconds. On restart, your Formation Bass will

enter setup mode. All settings will be deleted when

your Formation Bass resets. You can also reset your

Formation Bass via the Bowers & Wilkins Home app

Settings menu.

Network Setup

• With your Formation Bass in setup mode, with its

Form button

illumination pulsing slowly amber,

launch the Bowers & Wilkins Home app on your

iOS or Android device. The app will guide you with

prompts though the setup process.

Note: Formation Bass employs a Bluetooth

connection to the device running the Bowers

& Wilkins Home app during the setup 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 setup process.

• The Bowers & Wilkins Home app will rst 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

conrm the selection.

• If a wireless network connection for your

Formation Bass is to be used, the next setup

stage will connect your Formation Bass to your

home WiFi network. The app will ask you to

conrm 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 setup process will

be bypassed.

Note: If you already have other Formation

products connected to your WiFi network,

Formation Bass setup will not require you to input

the WiFi password.

• With WiFi network conguration, and space

selection complete, your Formation Bass is ready

for use. Your Formation Bass will play an audio

prompt to conrm successful set up.
