Hear every detail
Nine high-quality drivers, including a dedicated three-driver center channel, deliver even the finest details in full.
Get surrounded
Formation Bar can partner easily with Bass and Flex to create a high-performance wireless surround-sound system.
Ultimate compatibility
Able to play 24-bit/96kHz audio via the Bowers & Wilkins Music App, Wi-Fi, Apple® AirPlay 2®, Bluetooth, Roon and Spotify Connect.
Front-row power
The Bar’s 240 watts of power is more than enough to deliver even the most action-packed Hollywood soundtrack in full.
Power is nothing without control – so Formation Bass digs deep and hits hard, but does so with complete command. Enjoy the sort of profound low-frequency presence that makes every song an occasion and every movie an event.
Dual driver technology
Thanks to its opposed dual driver arrangement, Bass delivers clean low-end punch with lower distortion than ever.
Constantly optimized
Dynamic EQ allows Bass to monitor and adjust its output in real time, for optimum performance in any eventuality.
Power and efficiency
250 watts sounds like a lot – and it is. Class D amplification makes Bass both high-efficiency and high-performance.
For any Formation
Bass works with the entire Formation range – so prodigious low-frequency action is assured in any circumstance.
