this is correct behaviour. Allows the BM3500 to distribute the sound toothed rooms if you are running a link system.
If you press STOP you will achieve what you are describing.Thanks, MM. from what I recall (I actually disconnected my NL/ML Converter as I didn’t think it added much anymore when I replaced my BV11 with a Theatre setup) I could also start a source and then “join” from the Theatre. Can’t remember if it was sufficient to start from the ML stereo or I had to start the stereo from the NL/ML Converter. Will try later today.
I have also responded to B&O support to ask them to clarify what adding a Core would achieve. Upon reading their response again it is rather unclear and vague. Will report back here if I learn something.
The Theatre is a great product but it would have been even better if it could integrate with previous products better. If ASE products could do that I can’t help but wonder if the Mozart platform was a step backwards but perhaps it has other advantages I am not aware about.Thank you MM, my mistake I thought the BV8 was a NL product.
I have a ML stereo, the NL/ML converter and a Theatre. Reason I look for an ASE product is that B&O support explained to me in response to my request to activate an audio source from my Theatre that the Theatre which runs on Mozart is backwards compatible with previous generation so that if I had a Core (they specifically used Core as an example but I would think any ASE product would work?) the Theatre could activate the sources available on the Core.
So, I would be hoping that if my ML sources (via the NL/ML converter) would show on the Core then my Theatre could activate these ML sources from the living room. I was told that my NL/ML converter alone would not be enough.I think to recollect you have mentioned you have a Beosound Essence, if mk2 it would be ASE. Can you activate ML sources available on the Essence directly from your Theatre?
Would a Beovision 8 also be an ASE product? The link you provided only shows specifically audio products.
Thanks in advanceBoth the app and the Theatre is dependant on their own network connection. Are you sure the smartphone and the Theatre has a good network connection?
Thanks guys, that helps a lot.
My setup in addition to the Theatre is
1x Beolab 2
2x Beolab 1
4x Beolab 4000
Two of the lab 4000’s are near the ceiling playing over listening position and the two other lab 4000’s are in the back.
I just noticed the the Theatre calibration had made the two lab 4000’s in the back as “left back” and “right back” while the two lab 4000’s in the ceiling were “left surround” and “right surround”. This is all correct and a standard 7.1 setup. However, my aim was rather to make it into an Atmos system as 5.1.2
So, I have now changed it to so the two lab 4000’s in the rear of the room are now “left surround” and “right surround” while the two lab 4000’s in the ceiling above the listening position are “left front height” and “right front height”.
I will give this a go and see if more sound is coming from the rear of the room. I suspect it will. Then I will try to adjust the dB levels of the speakers if need be.
Though I haven’t yet, I intend to study the technical sound guide so I can make the most out of this system.
When you go to the cinema the sound from their rear speakers is louder than at home with my Theatre and connected speakers (relative to the other speakers in the system).
Do you also find that is the case? In the cinema the rear speakers are more dominant with effects where at home they are much more subtle to the extent the effects from the rear are only really obvious with loud effects. I have run the Theatre calibration and trusted these settings but do you find the Theatre calibration is too conservative when it comes to allowing the rear speakers to contribute to the overall sound experience?
Do you make your own adjustments after the Theatre calibration or do you use it it as is?
Worked as you described – thanks for sharing. This way the Theatre is contributing with its bass drivers even when playing in stereo with connected speakers.
So this is basically a Hall Audio WiFi Streamer for £216 except that Hall Audio doesn’t show up in the B&O app and can’t be controlled via a BeoRemote One. But, for people who look to connect B&O speakers to a tv with HDMI ARC and to play music from a connected analogue source like a record player with RIAA or stream music via airplay or Spotify connect it actually does the same job.
I am not affiliated with Hall Audio in anyway. I merely have their product and it works a charm.
https://hallaudio.com/en/produkter/traadloes-streaming/hall-wifi-streamer/Is it advised to recalibrate all speakers following a software update or is that not necessary?
Has anyone had this confirmed with B&O? Just wondering as the details of these (very-far-between) software updates always entail some adjustments to sound in one shape or form.This new sw version which is topic of discussion is it a beta or official release (I’m not at home so can’t check my Theatre).
Thank you much appreciated @Millemissen.
Am I correct in thinking that a Beosound Core is an ASE product? (what does the acronym ASE stand for anyway?)
It just feels silly, also not to be able to use and “join” sources from the Theatre anywhere else so how can you make much out of its inbuilt internet radio or if you connect sources via its USB-C connector…
Don’t get me wrong it is a great product with great sound capability but seems a shame to abandon the historic B&O link function.
this workaround doesn’t work for me with my Theatre but should work if it was a Beosound Stage.
okay I understand. Then since I sold my BV11 the only ASE product I have is the NL/ML Converter. Unfortunately I don’t have a Beosound 1/2/M3 in my setup.
What are you referring to with the acronym “ASE” please?
I can make ML link system available to the Theatre with my NL/ML converter but as it made little difference it is currently not connected. The Theatre can’t really interact with the NL/ML converter in a meaningful way.
I don’t know if the Beosound Stage is on the same platform as the Theatre but that device can indeed activate sources available on an ML link system. Confirmed by B&O and this approach is to once the desired source is playing on the Stage via ”join” to press and hold one of the BR1 short cut buttons so that it the stores the connection to the ML source in question and can from then on activate and play this source by itself (ie without the need to go via “join”).
Which app is your screen grab interface from please? I don’t recognise this from my B&O app.with current software versions and experiences,
1) is it possible to activate and listen to a source from the Beosound Theatre from a link room?
2) is it possible to activate and listen to a source from a stereo connected to the link system from the Beosound Theatre?
I know we’ve discussed it before but wanted to check if there was an update or solution to this issue.
If still not possible has anyone heard from their dealer whether B&O is working on a solution or have decided not to pursue this? I haven’t been a me to hear either way.
Thank you again,
Okay so for BM7000, you write it is either 1611 converter or MDT. Is it also possible to connect the MDT via the 1611 converter (hence via ML) and thus allowing it to be part of a larger ML system like a BS3000 could form part of?
In terms of waking up link speakers or BS3000 with the MDT, you write that all ML products including link speakers have their own unique addresses. Does this mean than one would need to add the address of each ML device to the code that runs in the Raspberry Pi so that the MDT will be able to chose which ML link speaker or BS3000 to turn on and start to play e.g. Spotify Connect when streaming to the MDT? Or where do you “enable” the MDT to decide which ML products it will turn on when streaming to it?
If this is true and one would only chose BS3000 to turn on by the MDT, can the other link speakers still join and play the same source as and when you chose “N.MUSIC” from the Beo4 in a link room?
Lastly, these functions we are discussing, are they ready at this stage or is it also part of the work in progress?
Kind regards
