addition to its proprietary mesh 24-bit/96kHz
wireless network the B&W Duo powered speaker
system is also compatible with WiFi, AirPlay,
Spotify Connect and Bluetooth, and will syn-
chronize with any other Formation product,
but in particular with the new B&W ‘Formation
Bass’ subwoofer. This new unit features a Class-D
amplifier with on-board DSP that drives two
165mm long throw bass drivers, for which B&W
claims a frequency response of 20Hz to 150Hz.
Also available is the Formation Audio Wire-
less Hub that allows you to integrate your exist-
ing passive components, such as your turntable
and CD player, into this new B&W system.
