BeoLab 90 with BeoSystem 3

33 replies
I second that bring on the BeoSystem 5

Oh I’m sure someone going to say that’s never ever going to happen just like how someone had to say there’s no need for 4K, HDR and OLED

I would love to see a picture of that setup!

Forgive me, I need a bit of clarification...

I came across this in Geoffs blog:

"In addition, the BeoVision Eclipse can “tell” the BeoLab 50 and 90 to change latency settings on-the-fly to optimise the configuration to ensure lip sync."

Does that mean the Eclipse cant do the lip sync against the BL90 @ high latency?

What about the Bsys 4, same trick or a different approach altogether?

And why would you want to maintain ‘the high latency mode’, when the BL90’s are used with a tv and -probably - other connected speakers?

Don't the Beolab 90 produce a higher quality sound when in high latency mode?

I have not compared the beolab 90 but on beolab 50 it sounds different. Not necessarily worse but different. You can set a high latancy for music and low latancy to watch tv. I drive the music through spdif for best quality. And also narrow mode for music and wide for tv as default. It's relatively easy to set even if the app feels a little messy. Hopefully it will be better soon. I heard roumer that bang & olufsen hired people from google.

That is how it has to be done - and it is also what Geoff Martin wrote in his post on the previous page.

Which tv do you use?

The trouble of the op with his setup (BSys3) there is no option for telling the BL90/50 to switch to low latency mode ‘on the fly’.

This is a feature, that was introduced with the more powerfull BSys4-platform (VE1.x and later).

One has to admire your tenacity, a shortcoming is now once again.. a feature..  🙂

But at least it sort of clarifies the capabilities of the Bsys4.

A bit of hands on experience with the BSys4 platform (and an open mind),

might tell you what is ‘feature’ and what is ‘shortcoming’ there.

Can we at´least agree:

The highly acclaimed sweet spot of the BL90 is beyond reach in AV mode on any B&O platform?

Technically the Eclipse might be able to if the 100ms+ video input lag would be utilized!

@ Geoff . Should you read this please chip in!

I got beovision 7-55 mk1 and beosound/beomaster 5 and from this week beolab 50.

Beovision is connected whit analog powerlink to the beolab 50. And I have masterlink from beosound 5 to the tv and spdif from beosound 5 to beolab 50. The beolab 50 is set as beolab 5 in the tv whit distance +8,6m to deal whit latancy of 25ms. Center is set to 0,1m (lowest setting) and beolab 50 is set to 8,7m.

What you do is to set 2 presets in the the bang & olufsen app.

Presets:

Mine is soffa for tv and sweetspot for music.

Input:

Automatic whit spdif higher then powerlink (just drag them in correct order). Under each source you have time-out. Thats the time it takes to change from one preset to the other. Faktory preset is 900s. I change that to 60s. I think this only apply the beam mode.

Soffa settings:

Beam control = wide

Latancy mode = Low

Sweetspot settings:

Beam control = narrow

Latancy mode = High

Averything is automatic and works like a charm.
