Good Morning,

Can anybody explain me, what is the real difference between MK1 and MK2? OK there is Deezer in MK2 and they say multi room. In the manual I can't find anything that I cannot do with my MK1. My MK1 works fine with the new BeoMusic App 🙂

Thanks

Mat

Hi Mat,

if you don't need (or plan to have) more of the newer B&O products, you'll be fine with the A9 1.Generation - then multiroom is not relevant to you.

The A9 2.Generation has an upgraded hardware (streaming/wifi module) - if yours works fine, don't worry.

If you don't care for the support for Bluetooth 4.0 or for the integrated Deezer music service/TuneIN netradio, the 1.Generation A9 will be ok.

If you are used to control your A9 with a Beo4, you would miss that with the 2.Generation...

No, because it does not support NL/multiroom.

Just received my MK2 as well. 

Spotify is not supported for multiroom streaming. 

If you choose 'Join' / 'Lyt med' on the remote, the only thing that happens is that you can see on your TV what song the essence is playing through Spotify connect. 

You can use the Beo4 to play the next song, play/pause, but not control the volume.

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

Well there's the difference 🙂
Is Deezer supporting multi-room streaming?
Yes!

I have a deezer Premium account, but when I open Deezer in the BeoMusic App I can only play 30seconds preview? Does anyone else have the same problem?
