Hello friends,
Just saw my Beolab 50 had a new firmware available to update. I was on 3.0.0.616 and updated to 3.1.0.1001. So far I haven't seen any differences except that the web-UI is dated 2021-06-03 and that I can see both the primary and secondary speakers firmware info in the product info but this might have been added earlier. (I remember that it was sometimes so that only one speaker would update previously).
One thing that occurred for me was that the speaker got stuck on a dialog asking me to connect the DLP cable between the set but as this has always been there it made no sense, probably just a design glitch in the web interface as a simple manual reload helped (The dialogue suggested turning the power off for 30 seconds for both speakers but this was not necessary).
Thank you to our Sponsors
Beolab 50 firmware update June 2021
Yes, mine were updated yesterday too. I have no clue what has been corrected / added / etc., as I did not see any release notes.
Yea they are sadly very reluctant to sharing such info. Weird as these speakers are such special beats and a lot of users probably would LOVE to know.
Anyway, they did include a text for the iOS app, but only this "Dummy long description" :D.
I've got your back 😐
Features:
- Major bugfix release fixing several issues reported internally and from the market including ticking sound issue.
- New Marvell Firmware
- Improvements made to performing ARC more easily (robustness on 50Hz noise)
- Manual source selection
- USB Volume disable feature. Allows to disable the USB Volume control, for sources setting the volume to 90.
I'll let you know when the update to the Technical Sound Guide is available. This will explain the "manual source selection" and the "USB Volume" features.
Have a nice weekend

If you have questions about or problems with B&O equipment, these should be directed through your dealer and/or B&O's Customer Service department.
I cannot be a "short circuit", bypassing these communication channels.
Thanks

More excitement to come! Glad to see new features coming and looking forward to reading about them more. But now I think sangria is calling! Have a nice weekend you and everyone here too!
Brilliant, thanks John and Geoff!
I have B&O promotion videos playing on the TV's in store, as I read Geoff's comment I looked up and Geoff's face was on the screen looking back at me, perfectly timed!
I feel like he's watching me now!
