Beosound Core / Beolab 18 stereo image problem

15 replies

I have now tried to AirPlay to the core and I have the same result. 
Both BL18 are playing the left channel only. Changing the dip L/R dip switches on the speakers does not change anything. They continue to play left channel only  

If someone has time please airplay this to your core and let me know if you hear the right channel.

Thank you very much. I am disappointed why B&O have not sent out an announcement regarding this, or did I miss this? This is not a standard bug from an audio company. It is embarrassing they have damaged the stereo perspective in an update w/o having heard this while testing. 
Anyway, I will look forward to the update. 
Thanks again.

This issue has now been resolved. B&O released new software yesterday. 

Thank you for the support.
