AST - Adaptive Sound Technology

56 replies

OK,  so I have had my BV7-40mkIII updated to the latest software, due to some faults, now got the Black menu 

In the menu for SOUND, there is an option for AST on/off  this is currently grey'd out and con not be changed.  in the SERVICE menu for Sound Config, if you choose SOUND SYSTEM there is the line  Adaptive Sound Technology - DISABLED.

 

Anyone know what this does and how to enable it

My understanding is that it is a system that will adjust the sound automatically, perhaps using a microphone, somewhat similiar to the system on Beolab 5s. It has not yet been officially released and thus there is no way to get it to work at present even though it shows up in the software. It is also my understanding that a hardware update to the BV7 will be required for it to work. I think I read in here somewhere that it will be possible to update the BV7 MKIII but I may be mistaken about that.

I've been told this will be delivered starting with the BV7-40 Mk IV. It'd consist in using a microphone to adjust automatically the sound, at least.

Any news/updates on the availability?

I am led to believe it is a new patented technology which allows you to place your speakers anywhere in the room yet still be able to achieve true surround sound.

It uses reference points within the room which you input into the television, then all the speaker positions are relative to this, apparently.

Anybody know when it will be available?

anywhere in the room😁

Am i the only one who is skeptical of this concept?

 

No😕

The BeoVision 7-55 should have Adaptive Sound Technology.

Does anyone have more exact info on what this involves?
