Hi all,

Im new in this forum which Ive been reading a lot in the past. I have an issue that Im not capable to find a solution, so hope you can help me.

Current configuration:

  • Beolab 8000mkI speakers connected via cable (link) to BO Essence
  • Beosound Essence mk2
  • Beoplay A9 mk3
  • Beosound Essence remote connected to Beosound Essence.

Im able to stream music to the three speakers by using Airplay. All good until here.

However, I would like to use the remote for streaming the music to the three speakers. At this stage, I can only streaming the music to the B8000 thru the BO Essence. however Im not finding the right configuration for directly streaming the music to the three using just the remote essence.

Appreciate your help and comments.

Best regards

Nacho

'When you use the Essence remote one of the sources in the Essence MK2 is started. You need to join the A9 to the session by tap to join (not sure if A9 can do this) or through the B&O app.

Thanks for your answer, but the question is how/where do I tap to join the session? or within the app?

Sorry for the simple questions, but I can't find the way.

Thanks again

Best regards

In the app make sure the Eseemce is playing something as main source and then go to multiroom (second button with the two squares) and press the a9 to join

Thanks - I got it. I didnt enabled the Beolink function in the app.

Now I did it, put the music in the B8000 and add the A9 to the multiroom. However no sound coming thru the A9.

Same situation if I start first the A9 (music works) then joining the Beoessence but then no sound coming up thru the B8000.

Any hint or idea what could be the problem?

Thanks

In the same menu where you have enabled ‘Join’, you must choose, which products should be linked to each other.

Are you still using AirPlay against one and try to join the other ? If yes you need to enable AirPlay over Beolink

Unfortunately, it does not work with the B&O app yet.

Currently, Im able to make it work just using ApplePlay2 from an iphone using Spotify.

However, Trying to use the B&O app and using the multiroom feature doesnt work. I selected Beoessence as lead speaker and then add the A9. However sound only plays in the B8000

Any idea from a configuration or whats the problem?

@jfresco

Just to clarify:

Multiroom via Airplay2 and multiroom via (B&O) NetworkLink are to different technologies, two different ways of soing things.

Please answer the question, that mbolo01 asked above....if you have activated Airplay over Beolink.
