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 flimsy 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 find that bass from
your Formation Wedge is too prominent, moving it
to an alternative position may be beneficial, however
you can also adjust the bass level via the Bowers &
Wilkins Home app Settings menu.
Connections
In addition to a mains power socket
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 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 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
five 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
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 first 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.

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 first 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

Wedge is to be used. A list of default Space
names is provided but you can also create your

name, the app will ask you to touch the Form
button
on the top of your Formation Wedge to
confirm the selection.

stage will connect your Formation Wedge to
your home WiFi network. The app will ask you to
confirm 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.

space, however devices will not connect and
