I do more than one, but the volume was 50% at ~1 meter away. Different music to come as per usual🙂

Agreed, to be honest dont feel YT videos showcasing speakers playing music illustrate very little to me.

Any differences between different speakers is minimised to viturally zero.

Of course, its difficult to do, especially finding acceptable copyright free music to use.

Believe it or not, even the last little showcase got 2 strikes on it. But they’re the friendly kind where if the revenue was worth it they would take it.

Anyway that’s why i kinda have a standard set list so you’re more able to compare them from one to the other. Also all mic setting and such stay the same and the mic i’ve had for the last 6+ months is really rather good and true to life. So hopefully the only difference to the base file is what youtube does to it.

Just about all the proper test music is so heavily copyrighted that they literally block or ban the video in it’s entirety. Had that once before where warner bros did that although the copyright was actually paid for. The only way to then fix it is go to court, which is silly as i’ve never made any money of of any of this 😎

Does anyone know if the Balance can be used in a setup with Beolabs and Beovision to create a surround setup?

I have BL18 and 19 and Horizon and have been thinking for some time to get a pair of BL17 to complete the setup but I don't like them for some reason - the Balance would be perfect if they could be easily integrated into the setup somehow.

Th issue is the Horizon wont see the Balance as a speaker, which I guess you know.

Products like the A9 /BS1,2, and Balance are seen by the BV only as another system, where you can integrate its internal sources to play through the Horizon.

Whether that changes if the Balance is somehow wired in to the Horizon, I dont quite know.

And I assume all NL product won’t see the Balance as it is not a Beolink product anymore.

B&O app is there only for settings.

Better buy yourself a pair of New Balance sneakers and run to the dealer to get proper BL’s

That would only be the case, it the BS Balance (or two if them) could be used directly as a speaker - means it would have a PL/DPL input port (one of the RJ45’s to connect to the PL output of the Horizon or alike.

Nothing wrong with having a speaker, that can double as a Beosound with it’s own control and streaming possibilities (AP2/CC).

Not yet seen, but why not?

 

P.S. I remember people earlier having asked for the BL90 to have streaming possibilities built right in to the speaker.

I’m with MM on this too. Maybe a Beolab Balance option or version with the trickle down sound features from the BL90 and BL50 at a smaller scale and price.

But that would cannibalise sales of their BeloLabs surely.

Which is why they wont do it.
