I've noticed that Bang & Olufsen's description of the Beoconnect Core on their website doesn't really dive into the specifics of what it can actually do, which leaves a bit to the imagination! I'd love some help verifying if I've got the right understanding of its features and benefits. From what I've gathered, the Beoconnect Core primarily serves two functions:
Connecting non-B&O TVs to B&O speakers: This includes smart TVs from any brand, allowing you to enjoy B&O-quality sound without needing a B&O television. If you happen to have an LG TV, it seems the Beoremote One can even control it via the Core, adding a nice level of integration.
Easy music streaming: The Core allows streaming music from devices (e.g., an iPhone) to your speakers through a dedicated B&O music app.
Is that correctly understood? Also, a few questions come to mind:
Compatibility with speaker types: It sounds like the Beoconnect Core works with both older and newer B&O speakers, regardless of whether they're wireless or cabled. However, if the speakers are cabled, is there any benefit to using the Core rather than connecting directly to the TV? Other than enabling control via the Beoremote One and music streaming, does it add value for cabled setups?
Speaker setup options: I understand it can handle a standard 2-speaker stereo setup, but can it go further? For instance, could it manage a more complex arrangement, like 2 speakers plus a subwoofer or even a full surround setup with rear speakers?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on these points – it’s always great to hear real user experiences!
