ENGLISH Welcome to Bowers & Wilkins and Formation Flex. Thank you for choosing Formation. When John Bowers first established Bowers & Wilkins he did so in the belief that imaginative design, innovative engineering and advanced technology were keys that could unlock the enjoyment of audio in the home. That belief continues to inspire every product we design and in Formation has found its most advanced expression yet.
ENGLISH 1. Formation Flex Carton Contents Formation Flex Mains power cable set appropriate for your territory Document pack 2. Installing Your Formation Flex Formation Flex can be used in a range of situations — as a single mono speaker, as a compact stereo pair, or as rear surround speakers in a 5.1 home theatre setup. When used as a stereo pair, your Formation Flex should be at least 1m (3ft) apart and a similar distance from the listening area.
Note: The USB socket located on the Formation Flex 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 Flex speaker is ready to be setup. Your Formation Flex has no mains power switch and, following a short start-up routine, will be operational as soon as it is connected to mains power.
ENGLISH 3. Using Your Formation Flex The Basics You can use your Formation Flex to play audio from streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal, from the Roon music library service and from internet radio via an appropriate iRadio app. If you have further Formation devices connected to your network, a Formation Audio for example, conventional audio sources connected to it will also be available through your Formation Flex. Spaces Spaces are a core concept of the Formation product family.
4. The Bowers & Wilkins Home App With your Formation Flex configured and connected to your network, the Bowers & Wilkins Home app will open to its Home screen where the Formation Flex space and any other available Formation spaces will be listed. Tap on a Formation Space to select from any available streams or inputs. If there are no streams available, open a streaming app, Spotify for example, and select an item to play, then select the Formation Space from the list of available playback devices.
