Beosound Essence Mk2

26 replies

I wonder why B&O has not included WISA in Essence MK2. After all it seems that all new B&O  speakers have WISA so why not making new devices compatible with them?

Upgrading the essence with Beolab Transmitter 1 also seems to be overkill if you are only using the audio source (which esence is) and all newer TV's already have WISA-capabilities.

Could it be so that several WISA-transmitters could not be installed in the same home due to interference? 

are there any two channel WISA-transmitters out there?

Why force people to pay almost double-up, when they don't need the WiSA function?

If you need it, just buy the Transmitter 1 - easy, peasy 🍋

Millemissen, it however seems like B&O designers thought differently with regard to the speakers as they already have wisa receivers and everyone have to pay for it, even if they might rather use powerlink cables and save a few bucks.

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

with a mess of wires!

I would have gladly paid for wisa-capabilities in Beosound Essence.

Second most important Audio product without WISA.

Maybe there are idiots living, designing and working in Denmark?
