B & W's new-generation audio system "Formation Suite" that will entertain not only sound quality but also elegant design, such as "Formation Wedge" with an impressive look reminiscent of interior objects.

B & W is a prestigious audio brand that represents the United Kingdom, and is familiar to cars such as BMW, Volvo, and Maserati. In 1966, the brand's first product, the speaker "P1" was released, and in 1968, the home monitor speakers "DM1" and "DM3" were announced. Since then, it has made its name known to the world as a Hi-Fi brand that pursues advanced and high-end sound for more than 50 years. The "Formation Suite" introduced to the Japanese market this time uses the proprietary "mesh network" technology. As a result, various items such as bookshelf type speakers equipped with high-quality sound technology, small speakers, sound bars, and subwoofers can be directly connected without going through a Wi-Fi router.

Build a dedicated network for "Formation Suite"

So what's amazing about B & W's proud mesh network technology? A spokeswoman for D & M, a Japanese distributor, explains: "For example, when playing a song recorded on a smartphone with conventional wireless audio connected via a Wi-Fi router, the song data is once transmitted to a speaker or the like via the Wi-Fi router. If you connect multiple devices to the router, browse the Internet by linking your smartphone, or use the network with home appliances such as TVs, the Wi-Fi router can process a huge amount of data smoothly. However, the quality of music data itself may deteriorate, signal transmission may be delayed, or sound may be interrupted. In that respect, mesh network technology, which builds a unique network and directly exchanges data between compatible devices, is, so to speak. This is a dedicated network for "Formation Suite". Since music data can be transmitted as it is and without delay, high-quality music signals up to 96kHz / 24bit, which are called high-resolution sound sources, can be accurately reproduced. " It is said that the timing difference between speakers can be suppressed to 1 microsecond or less. The sound is perfectly harmonized without any deviation, so you can enjoy the realistic sound as if the artist were in front of you.
