Everyone wants home-wide audio, and systems that provide it have become the new standard. Wireless audio systems (since nobody would want to run all that wire) are common, but can provide lower quality sound that often cracks or pops mid-stream. The new Bowers & Wilkins Formation Suite features three distinct wireless speakers that can fill whole houses with high quality sound with 1-microsecond in-room synchronization between speakers by utilizing a patented mesh network that runs independently from Wi-Fi.

The Bowers & Wilkins Formation Wedge (direct BestBuy link) is a portable speaker that truly takes advantage of the multi-room capabilities of the Formation Suite. The distinctive 120-degree cabinet of the Wedge is designed to create an immersive stereo experience. Multiple Wedge speakers can be moved between locations, allowing you to put the music where you want it. An integrated subwoofer, 2 mid-range speakers, and 2 tweeters provide full, rich audio from a networked music library, radio stations, and other online services.
The new Bowers & Wilkins Formation Bar (direct BestBuy link) includes nine optimized drive units and a dedicated center channel to provide an immersive audio experience when enjoying either music or video content. The Formation Bar features Dolby Digital decoder technology to reproduce multichannel audio through 240 watts of total system power, including three 1-inch tweeters to increase the frequency range and ensure crisp voices when watching movies.

Completing the system is the new Bowers & Wilkins Formation Bass (direct BestBuy link). Boosting audio lows through a 6-1/2″ active subwoofer and an Integrated Class D amplifier, the Formation Bass supplies 250W RMS power and 10-150Hz frequency response for minimal distortion even at higher volume levels. And, of course, the wireless system of the Formation system allows users to place the subwoofer in any location that fits their needs and preferences.
