Really? Could you send me a picture or a link or anything the prototype? I'd love to see it.
I am new in this forum. Could you tell me what's the meaning of NL or ML? Does ML stand for Masterlink? and What does NL stand for?
Pretty much expected for that. My aunt lives in Amsterdam and she said that the situation over there was awful. The same also applies in Indonesia. I believe there would be a delay, but not so severe like a cancellation of some world-class events such as Geneva International Motor Show.

What if is made to do both - there are still lots of NL devices out here and only one non-NL....
....after all it seems to have both wifi and bluetooth capacities.
I just wonder what it will be able to control with a CC/AP2-only device like the Balance.
There is no doubt, that there will be some kind of delay - however, if is meant to be launched in the fall, that won’t be noticeable......hopefully.

Let me speculate a bit...I initially thought of it as a successor of something like the Moment combined with the features from the B&O app. So, basically a major addition to the line-up and in the 2.000-3.000 price class...It could be something very simple and easy. Maybe more in the 100-150 price range with very basic functionality. Basically a beoremote for audio devices. Building on the wheelie idea of having “light switches” for audio.Could be connected via wifi or bluetooth. May even support non-b&o devices. Functionality is super basic, but has some use.It could display the song played and allow “pause”, “next song”, maybe “mute”. Could be a good additon for devices like the BS1 or the Balance.I’m smiling again. If that’s nicely designed, attractive prices and compatible with AP (incl song display and maybe even cover art), this may actually be a winner. Could think of buying one for each room if it can be easily mounted against the wall (taped).Let’s see what we’ll see.What if is made to do both - there are still lots of NL devices out here and only one non-NL.... ....after all it seems to have both wifi and bluetooth capacities.

It will do both of course.
But as I mentioned earlier, it may be that the NL control is a bit secondary in the UI.
Anyway, doesnt really change the issue of NL being removed from future devices.
Which, much as though I'd warned of this likelihood, doesn't fill me with any pleasure at all.

Yes, ML refers to Masterlink. NL refers to the newer wireless connection system, Netlink.Could you tell me what's the meaning of NL or ML? Does ML stand for Masterlink? and What does NL stand for?
From what we could see last year, the Halo screen looks small compared to the ring around it, much like a BS 35 screen, and it does not even occupy the whole space of the support.

A B&O Official said, that the Beoremote Halo is supposed to be presented in April and is not due for delay. Interesting

Maybe this means presented for approval? i can't imagine too much new stuff coming out over the next few weeks - retail is decimated at the moment.
