Bowers & Wilkins, a global performance audio brand, has announced the addition of Alexa Skills that can be used on all Formation Suite products.
The addition of voice command options enables homeowners to use their voice via an Alexa enabled device (e.g. Amazon Echo) to control their speakers to create easy access to Amazon Music Unlimited, Amazon Prime Music, Pandora, SiriusXM, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and more. The Introduction of Alexa into the Formation suite of products will be done via an update that will be made available in early Q1 2020.Â
“We are creating an ecosystem of products that will grow and improve over time therefore, this is a natural and very exciting step towards our continual improvement of Formation Suite,” says Greg Lee, CEO, Bowers & Wilkins. Â
Bowers & Wilkins has also introduced an enhanced version of the “Bowers and Wilkins Home” app that will allow users to broaden access to streaming music sites, including Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer. Content will be aggregated through the app, enabling the listener to easily browse tracks, albums, playlists, radio stations across multiple services including personal libraries and collections, along with other high resolution content.
Through the updated app, users will be able to access content directly from the music providers which will improve overall user experience when listening to music produced by Formation series components. The enhanced version of the app will be available in early Q2 2020.
