Im starting to play around with the local sources in my NL setup

Today in the A9 setup (you can use the app, or I just put the IP address in my browser as its faster), I selected "Deezer (Avant)" - I had de selected all of the NL  sources in the local list (as there are too many).

The findings are:

> The avant switches on and mutes the picture (good) 

> The avant speakers do not lower (good) 

> The A9 is playing Deezer from the Avant (as opposed to locally) 

> The Avant is acting as a "stereo system" 

> The Avant remained in its home position

> When turned off the A9 the Avant powered off 

What I see from my local sources in the A9 setup I have: 

- Tune In

- Music

- Bluetooth

I have de selected: Line IN, Q Play, Spotify.  I see that also there is no "deezer" source and this must really be "Music"

exactly CB

I found this out because of the fact that when I tap the A9 it plays deezer and then I look on the app and it shows deezer as the inbuilt source

Today's experiment was to see how the sources from other devices react. 

 

I noticed in the Essence set tup that there is a thing called "INTEGRATED SETUP". Does anyone know what that means?

When I selected it , all of the local sources go. And when I deselect it, all of the local sources come back.

Ooh

More good findings.

Now I have my Beolab3 attached to the essence. Now I know why ppl say they're good. I now have avant level controls.

With an essence you can actually specify which speakers are attached! 👍🏼👯

And it has tone and treble control! And loudness. Woooohooooo.

This is like when you use a tv as the speaker for the box.

The sources are then available on the tv in the Source Menu/via a Beoremote.

They can be configured (soundwise) like any other source of the tv.

The User Guide of the tv should give you further information on howto.

Note: not all sources (of the Essence) can be integrated.

 

This is something that was possible with the BS Moment from the start and was added for the BS Essence with a sw update not long ago.

Thanks MM

Does that work for ML BVs across the other side of the great BLC divide ?

PS Michael - yes in my setup when you press music on the ML it activates Deezer on the NL

Would be great to select the default source ... e.g. Spotify

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

So I have deselected it

Tonight I setup an old iPad as a music centre

When I chose the BL3 (essence) on the app it changed the avant which was on to that source. So I turned it off.

When I turned off integrated it then allows you to use the essence locally and not changing everything else that is on in the house.

This then answered a previous question I had on the join command. It is now therefore possible to push from other products to the avant rather than the other way around

Don't want to be offtopic, but just to check: do you have "Enable loudness" in BeoMusic app only for Essence or also for A9? Not available for me neither for A9 nor A6, all FW are the latest.

Hi,

I confirm loudness is only on the essence.

I have 2 A6 with same firmware as my Essence MKII and they don't have the Loudness option.
