Connections
In addition to a mains power socket
Formation Bass carries an Ethernet socket
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 configure 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 first 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.

press and release of the reset button located on its
rear panel

default settings, press and hold the reset button for
five seconds. On restart, your Formation Bass will

is provided but you can also create your own.

Bass is connected to your network router using an
Ethernet cable, this stage of the setup process will
