Would be nice to hear about real life experiences with this amp.

I used one recently for an install where I was replacing an existing (non-B&O) whole house audio system.

The customer had recently bought a moment and a pair of speakers, but also had a (non-B&O) whole house audio system that he wanted to replace.

In each room in the house there were passive speakers in the ceiling as well as a cat5 cable for the room controllers of the old audio system - all of these were wired back to a central cupboard.

I installed a beoamp 16 in the cupboard, along with 6 x Essence boxes (one for each room), and used the existing cat5 cables to install an IR-eye in each room connected to the corresponding Essence, and connected each Essence to a pair of channels on the BeoAmp 16.

The BeoAmp16 is very flexible, you can use the channels individually, or if higher output power is required, you can bridge two channels together. (you can also turn off individual channels using the DIP switches if they are not all needed).

Thanks Martin,

is my idea of combining e.g. 5 channels for the output of a BSys4 right, then?

Could be a uniquie possibility for some users/buyers.

Yes, you could even use to connect passive speakers for the entire 12 channels of output that the BS4 is capable of providing, and still connect a couple of BS Essence boxes as well for speakers in other rooms, or perhaps bridge all the outputs to provide 8 channels at 160W (maybe for a 7.1 setup, albeit most subwoofers tend to be active these days).

Martin.

If you'd use a WiSA transmitter, it would be no problem to integrate a BL19 (or two) with the BSys4.

Using the BV11/Avant etc it would be even easier.

Yes, Bjørn - that is what we already have learned from the previous posts.

P.S. Feel free to post pictures directly - Beoworlders are very fond of pics ;-)

Will do :D

Hello forum

I would like to make a 7.1.4 home cinema installation, with a Beovision Avant 14, using the processor of the Avant with 6 Beolab 18, and 4 Celestial ceiling speakers (BCO).

I spoke with my reseller who told me that would be very difficult to achieve, B&O is not planning to update their processor for dolby atmos.

Having an external receiver would partially make it, but the center speaker of the television could not be driven by the receiver. 

An receiver only for the ceiling speakers could/would create a delay or be difficult for volume adjusting.

Has anyone got an idea how to do it?

I now have 4 holes in the ceiling and plastering ist partially done ..

Thanks
