Bowers & Wilkins Formation Bar Formation Bass Best Buy Overview

Upgrading to a wireless audio system that works with your high-end television and that plays music around the home meant using multiple speaker systems from different brands. You could get a premium soundbar or sub for bass, and a speaker for your bedroom, but they typically were not linked together. Bowers & Wilkins has speakers for all of these scenarios with a completely separate wireless mesh network and premium audio gear.

Soundbars come dime a dozen from a myriad of manufacturers that maybe offer Bluetooth to connect to a tablet or smartphone. Beyond that, some soundbars offer a wireless connection to a sub for bass. That third step to where soundbars connect to other wireless speakers in a home was always on the horizon, until now.

The Bowers & Wilkins Formation Bar kicks out the sound with 240W of total system power 80W x three 1” tweeters. A Dolby Digital decoder gives you a cinematic audio experience with the reproduction of multichannel audio. And of course this streamlined system comes with Bluetooth music streaming from your device of choice. Nine optimized drive units and a dedicated center channel deliver clear and crisp dialogue along with a wide soundstage for movies and music.

One needs to be able to feel the music that they love and that is exactly the purpose behind the Formation Bass. A 6-1/2” active subwoofer has 250W RMS of power for high volume with minimal distortion, a 10-150Hz frequency response for those important low frequency effects, and a wireless connection so that you can place it in the best spot. Its opposed dual driver tech is suited to produce less distortion with a class D amplifier, and a dynamic EQ optimizes output in real time for substantially more bass sans distortion.

Tying the entire speaker system together is the Formation Wedge. These can be placed in multiple rooms and each includes a subwoofer, 2 tweeters, and 2 mid-range speakers. Its 120-degree elliptical shape with decoupled double dome tweeters produce a completely immersive stereo audio experience.

Not only are Bowers & Wilkins speaker systems synonymous with premium audio technology, they have engineered a solution for the third step to where everything connects via a patented wireless mesh network, which runs independently of your home Wi-Fi. Their wireless system is also premium to keep all of their speakers synced.

In fact, their high resolution streaming comes with twice the fidelity of the leading wireless speaker system brand at 96kHz at 24-bit for a pure and crystal clear audio listening experience. Wireless synchronization is hard for those other brands too. Bowers & Wilkins Wedge, Bar and Bass sync in-room at one microsecond.

Bowers & Wilkins has created a truly worthy multiroom premium wireless speaker system for your home now available at Best Buy. This is the first complete solution that I have seen from any manufacturer that ticks all of the wants along with audio technology that is normally reserved for individual audio listening setups. Their patented and robust wireless system connects their Bar, Bass, and Wedge in a arrangement that has an in-room 1-microsecond sync between them. Now there is no reason to buy those other cheap wireless speakers that disconnect and produce distorted tinny audio.
