Beosound Core, wireless speakers and non B&O TV

Hello, the best solution (to my opinion) is the Almando Multiplay Surround Decoder II. This one has a build in WISA module. (https://almando.com/almando-multiplay-surround-decoder-78.html)

I have this decoder connected to my Samsung TV and works like a charm. All my B&O speakers work in full surround mode. Unfortunately the web page is in German, but if you give them a call the can explain everything in English. The instruction manual is in English.

Correct, I have misinterpreted the original post.

Wisa association just release Soundsend device which is a better answer to the requirement while being much cheaper than the Almando kit. Unfortunately the Soundsend is not yet available in all countries.

Very nice the soundset! did not know this product. In my situation I had to connect a Beolab 7.1, Beolab 2 and the Wisa speakers. So the only solution was the Almando. (as fas as I know). Indeed the Alamando is not cheap.

Thanks for all the suggestions. 

I have an existing setup using the transmitter and Beosound essence MKI connected to the TV.

I don’t like the setup and somehow it doesn’t always work and thought the core might be a better option.

the  Almando Multiplay Surround Decoder II does seem like a better alternative. Will look into it. 

Not sure if this works but for the not Wisa enabled speaker you could use a WISA receiver. I have four of hem for my back speakers (BL3). If this makes sense form a budget point of view might me a diffeent question.

But also seeing the pricepoint and size of the device from the Wisa organization, it can not be that hard to integrate it into a stage.
