B&O Multiroom

23 replies

Hey everyone.
I opened a new topic to have a general discussion about the coming Multiroom feature update for several products.

Let me know your expectations, wishes and experiences (when it's finally here).

--------------------------
To start it off:
I've been trying MR for a while now and it works really great so far. I don't have that much use cases for it myself, but I could imagine that a lot of you guys already have lots of ideas how to use it with your setups at home. You can really look forward to it.

Great idea to start a general discussion about this feature.

But first of all I would like to know a definition of the term 'multiroom'.

Regards

Räuber

Hi Raeuber, I believe PapaJustify means the same music or control for every room just like SONOS for example!

I'd love A8 style or smaller units of that design which I can control from a B&O app on my iPhone. And a little speaker like the SONOS 1 (I believe the S3 may be this one). And REALLY IMPORTANTLY the app MUST have a bass and treble adjustment or graphic equaliser as we all have different sound tastes! 

And i'd like it to be rock stable wifi wise (5GHZ?).

I won't comment on Apple Music as just like every other brand, that is totally out of their hands at this moment in time.

I'd say, it is the ability to use all of your (audio) sources across the entire NL-network.

As an example: netradio on a tv, one Deezer-based song on a BS Essence (2nd) and another on a A9 (2nd) all at the same time.

Listening to the same song/radio on all devices at the same time will be the easiest task of 'multiroom'.

And yes, please - a NL-enabled A8 would be great.

Ok. Will this ability require network cables or will it also work if all NL-devices are connected wireless to a network router?

I think the cable solution would not be nothing special or new for me as an owner of a Masterlink solution.

The special kind of 'Listening the same music on all devices at the same time' is called Partymode, correct?

As far as I have understood, it can be mixed - with wired as the prefered connection.

NL is a network, that requires a router - best scenario is a dedicated router as a subnetwork.

your right. a wired network will be more stable though

I played with the beta Beomusic app for multiroom, it looks promising

What about an A4 which is half an A8 which is one cone?
