If you waited for it, but also knew that the picture go all the way down to the bottom, what exact soundbar-design were you hoping for? Just curious.

Good point.

I don’t know.

But! I may have a plan and a hack. And maybe another idea for STB brackets after I won their previous competition for a stand idea for the V1.

I've read the article MM mentioned, but it causes some confusion.

 

WhatHiFi states that for using Dolby Atmos or TrueHD you need an eARC hdmi connection on your panel. For virtual height sound production. Only newer panels will have that eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) connection with the newer hdmi 2.1 specifications.

B&O doesn't mention that the Stage needs an eARC connection on their site, just ARC. So, is it capable to reproduce some kind of virtual height sound which is done by some sort of algorithm?

Which leads me to the question: Does anyone who already has bought a new panel for the past months/time also experience the True HD and Atmos formats?

 

If your TV does not support eARC, you cannot transfer Atmos from the TV to the soundbar - that's how it is. However, if you have a source that support Atmos, you can connect it to the HDMI in on Stage, and then picture is passed on the the TV, and Atmos is passed to the soundbar.

 

Which again leads to the question:

If you have an UHD-player (only - legal - way to get Atmos within a Dolby HD container) connected to the LG-tv (which supports eARC), how about the port on the Stage.?

On the device itself it is labelled as ARC, but in the specs sheet shown in the Flatpanel article both ARC and eARC are mentioned.

Which is right: labelling on the device or the specs on that website?

Wired Connectivity HDMI (HDMI 2.0 HDCP 2.2) with eARC and ARC support.

HDMI in (HDMI 2.0 HDCP 2.2 with support for 4K HDR 50/60 Hz)

Please be aware that Atmos is not a sound format....it’s a set of informations, that can be added to a Dolby Plus or a Dolby HD stream (these are the sound formats).

Generally the streaming services use Dolby Plus - you can find Dolby HD on the (UHD)Bluray discs. Both can have added Atmos informations embedded.

E.g Netflix, iTunes and Amazon provide Atmos in their services, right?  At least Netflix use the DD+ container. 

Will the sound soundbar work with this LG monitor? (It is HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2 Compatible)

Price of smoked oak version seems to have gone up already I think.....now on B&O website at £1,900, thought it was going to be £1,750 but maybe wrong......edit....sorry was wrong was £1,900....!!

First video I have seen, where the BROne functionallity with the LG/C9 is shown.

Hi everyone,

I have spent a day testing the Stage at B&O Cambridge and I filmed the results, so I hope that this video will help to answer some questions about connecting and using the Stage in different setups:-

Thanks for taking your time to make the video.

For an audio-only source this is a nice way to use the analog input port, no doubt!

However, how many of those who wants to buy a BS Stage will have a tv without HDMI/ARC capacity?

You mention that the analog input doubles as optical input.

Can you confirm that - in the specs this is not mentioned (even if it is common practise in the latest BeoSounds)?

Also, if you want to use the optical output of a tv, you normally have a fixed output from there........and will have to control the volume on the Stage respectively will have to buy a BeoRemote One for that.

 

Since a lot of users nowadays use an AppleTV as their goto device, it might be an option to use AirPlay for the connection to the Stage - how well that works, other tests will have to show.
