Multiroom speaker for a bathroom

Here is a video of how mine works.

This is what I went for in my bathroom, I have an Essence Mk2 in the loft with a Beolink passive connected to the two beovox 1 in the bathroom wall.

The Speakers are in the wall boxes which I added as the wall was being built.

Sound great in a small bathroom but when I stand by the sink then I get music just out of the right hand speaker, so maybe this is where a mono speaker may be useful!

And how did you do that?

When you use the Chromecast/s - how do you control the volume?

On the BS8 or with the app?

To remove the dock I had to dismantle the whole unit. This was VERY easy following the repair manual.

Then I cut off the support plate on the dock and grinded it with sandpaper. I used white Sugru to fill the hole that was left after the 30-pin connector.

I have both Chromecasts set to 60% volume, so I control volume directly in the BS8 and Playmaker. On my way to the store to buy one for the Beolit 15 in the bedroom now 😁

I guess I'll leave the dock on mine ;-)

Thanks for the tip regarding volume level.

You're right 😁 I have some 1/2 square meter of free space on a wall, opposite to the shower. I guess the BL35 would be too big, and I'm not impressed by how it sounds..

Dear all,

My setup is located in my living room with a BV11, 2 BL18 and 2 BL17 + BS essence MKII. I would like to use multiroom in my bathroom (listening to news from the BV or music) but I don't know which speaker to buy and if, possibly, I should go for a play product or another essence + speaker.

I went and listened to the BS1 which I disliked a lot (but I didn't listen to BS2, as my dealer didn't have it yet) so I am now thinking of the A6. Also, i could just re-use my old beosound 8 and attach an essence to it.

Any thoughts about the quality of the A6 for such a purpose ? Any other ideas ?

Thanks a lot !

Ask to borrow a BS1 and see how it sounds in your bathroom. I bet it sounds better in there than the showroom.

The a6 and the 35 would be too big for a bathroom as would an essence and a pair of speakers

How about an a1 ?

Actually I have an Essence mkII / mcl2p / Beovox 2 as my bathroom setup.

And the room is tiny............

Anything goes - as long as you are happy with it 🙂
