2. Installing Your Formation Wedge

Location

Your Formation Wedge requires a mains power

supply to operate so must be located within reach of

a mains socket. If your Formation Wedge is to use a

wired connection to your home network it will need

to be located within reach of an appropriate network

(Ethernet) cable.

Your Formation Wedge can be placed on a shelf,

table or furniture unit and can also be wall-mounted

on a dedicated wall bracket.

If you decide to place your Formation Wedge on a

shelf, ensure that the shelf is easily able to support

the weight. Furthermore, Formation Wedge audio

performance may be diminished if mounting furniture

or shelf panels are imsy or resonant.

Note: If your Formation Wedge is to be mounted

on a wall bracket, be sure to install the bracket

in line with its included instructions. If you are

unsure of the suitability of a wall, or of your ability

to install the wall bracket, you should engage

specialist help. Stud-work and plasterboard

walls are unlikely to provide adequate strength or

rigidity to support a Formation Wedge speaker

and bracket.

Like the vast majority of speakers, your Formation

Wedge radiates sound energy not only forward

but also to the side and rear. Consequently, if your

Formation Wedge is positioned close to room

boundaries, or particularly in a corner, bass may

become over emphasised. If you nd that bass from

your Formation Wedge is too prominent, moving it

to an alternative position may be benecial, however

you can also adjust the bass level via the Bowers &

Wilkins Home app Settings menu.

Connections

In addition to a mains power socket

your

Formation Wedge speaker 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

Wedge rear panel is intended for service and

diagnostic use only. It cannot be used for any

other purpose.

Switch On and Off

With all connections made, and the Bowers &

Wilkins Home app installed on your mobile device,

your Formation Wedge is ready to be set up. Your

Formation Wedge 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 Wedge 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 Wedge will

also appear in the Bowers & Wilkins Home app as

available for set up, either on the initial app page, or

after selecting ‘Add Formation product’ from the app

Settings page.

Your Formation Wedge 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 Wedge, however should you wish

to do so, simply disconnected it from mains power.

Your Formation Wedge will retain its settings without

mains power.

You can restart a Formation Wedge speaker by

a short press and release of the reset button

located on its rear panel. Pressing the button will

switch the Formation Wedge off and on again. All

settings will be retained when your Formation Wedge

restarts. You can also restart your Formation Wedge

via the Bowers & Wilkins Home app Settings page.

If you wish to reset your Formation Wedge to its

default settings, press and hold the reset button for

ve seconds. On restart, your Formation Wedge will

enter setup mode. All settings will be deleted when

your Formation Wedge resets. You can also reset

your Formation Wedge via the Bowers & Wilkins

Home app Settings menu. The reset button is

illustrated in Diagram 1.

Network Setup

• With your Formation Wedge 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 Wedge 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 Wedge 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 Wedge. 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

Wedge 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 Wedge to

conrm the selection.

• If a wireless network connection for your

Formation Wedge is to be used, the next setup

stage will connect your Formation Wedge 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

Wedge 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 Wedge setup will not require you to

input the WiFi password.

• With WiFi network conguration, and Space

selection complete, your Formation Wedge is

ready for use. Your Formation Wedge will play an

audio prompt to conrm successful set up.

Bluetooth Setup

You can connect your Formation Wedge to a

Bluetooth enabled audio source device, such as

a smartphone, to play audio over Bluetooth. Your

Formation Wedge must rst be “paired” with the

Bluetooth audio source device.

Once you have completed the Formation Wedge

network setup, open the Bowers & Wilkins Home

app Settings page, and select the Formation Space

that you wish to pair a Bluetooth device with. Next

select ‘+ Pair a new device’ from the Bluetooth

menu and follow the app instructions to complete

pairing. Your Formation Wedge will play an audio

prompt when pairing is complete and its Space will

become available to the paired Bluetooth device for

audio playback.

Note: Up to eight Bluetooth devices can be

simultaneously paired with each Formation

space, however devices will not connect and

play to paired spaces automatically.
