Hi Peter,

Which setting do you have your bl50’s on? They most likely need to be set to low latency.

Michael

In the B&O ecosystem, matters are simplified as the current Beovisions (Eclipse, Avant II) have a delay code built in so you can select beam preset with video or audio output type.

I would suggest you keep the BL50 beam width to wide to reduce computation time on video applications. Significantly more calculation required for narrow beam. This has the added advantage of you being able to slouch on the sofa while watching a movie.

Failing that....talk to your B&O Dealer. Im not 100% certain but I think that B&O may have one of the many undisclosed products they never tell you about which may be able to delay TV ->>  Receiver signal for lip-sync. Just a thought. 

BTW, Wide mode does not necesarrily mean Low latency. It can be set individually for each mode. And whenever you use a third party source it will go to High, unless it’s told differently.

 

Newer B&O TV’s adjust this automatically depending on content.

Hi Peter,

 

I believe the best option would be to log onto the Beolab 50's IP address or access them through the B&O app and check their latency.

 

They're normally set to High Latency to give you the most precise sound however it may be that as you're using them with an AVR you may need to change the Latency due to it being used with a video source.

 

This should hopefully resolve it for you.

 

Thanks

Thanks guys, you are probably very right on the Latency timing. I misinterpreted that (no native english speaker) so I probably have set it to a wrong level. Now if only I could get to my Beolab50's to change it 😠

The app says it is waking them up but it never succeeds. I tried it when they were off as well as when they were playing. I doublechecked the WiFi network but nothing sees to work.

And it has worked before so it drives me nuts

Can I just put a network cable in one of the 3 UTP ports and try to read the ip address?

Hi Peter,

that should work too. had the same time and time again, sometimes a double tap in quick succession works, but you can also reset the network via the switch for network reset on the back, that's what I have done more than I'd like to admit but it seemed to fix it for a while.

Dat kan ook. Ik had het zelfde en vrij vaak, soms lukt het wel als je dubbel drukt in korte tijd, maar je kan ook het netwerk alleen resetten door op de netwerk reset knop achter op te drukken(pak een lampje want hij ziet er het zelfde uit als de algemene reset knop) ik heb het ook regelmatig moeten doen en vaker dan leuk is, maar het is wel het enige wat het verhielp voor enige tijd. 

 

hope this helps / hoop dat dit je helpt?

Well I fixed it (kind of I guess).

So it took 3 consecutive complete factory resets in order to finally get access to my Beolab50's.

I created a new preset with the narrow beam and Latency set to Low.
I reduced the level of the center speaker with -9dB and increased both Beolab 50's with +3dB.

The delay is still there, all be it less noticeable then before.I wish I could set the latency per speaker through my Receiver (Marantz SR8012) in order to get everything pitch perfect but I am afraid that is too much asked 😭

 

Thanks for all the help so far.

Peter

 

Hi Peter,

Quick question, what distance do you have the speakers set to? You can find it in the app under beam control. The distance you have set will also influence the latency of the speakers. Iam not exactly sure about the calculation anymore but if i remember right every 3 meters takes something like 10ms out of the delay. But somebody else on the forum probably know the exact conversion. So maybe somebody else can chime in? And have a play with those setting as it affects the percieved latency. Hope this helps?

Michael
