This is selectable. This speaker has an option to lie down or to be wall mounted.

When its lying down, then the left and right channel are opposite, of when the speaker is wall mounted.

So when placing 'The Stage' like this, upside down, you would "cheat" and tell the app thats the soundbar is lying down, causing the channels to be at the right position.

Ahh I set it as laying down now and the sound get improved🙂

Noticed a strange thing when I played around with the borrowed Stage.

It had left / right channels on wrong sides....  I noticed that in a movie clip with clear left to right movement.

I double checked with a test track from Youtube and yes, it was mixed up.

I checked that the position was set right in the app, and it was correctly set as "wall" . I tried to change that to a table placement and that did no change to the sound at all.... 

After doing a factory reset, it was back to a correct setting of the left / right channels and also the toggling of "wall" to "table" made a differens (swapping left to right).

I did the initial setup from a factory reset, so it could maybe be worth for you Stage owners out there to double check that you have your channels "in the right place".

Hi,

If you can't think of a track to test the left/right audio, I use "Girl you know its true" by Milli Vanilli (yes, I know it is not a great song!) 😁

In the full version (with the conversation at the start), the girl's voice should begin in the left speaker, with the man replying in the right speaker.

Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks for the tip! It’s weird. I checked it on my Stage, and it was the wrong way (moved it from Table to Wall).

Changing it in the app didn’t work. But changing it through the web panel did!

I used this Youtube clip to test:

STEVE!... Shame on you! Plenty of Beatles songs with strong stereo separation! 😎

Hi @all,

today i got a BeoSound Stage in Oak to test from my dealer.

I also have a BS Essence with two BL5 connected to it.

My dealer couldn't tell me if the following scenario is possible:

BS Stage via HDMI ARC on Samsung TV and the Essence playing the TV Sound via Networklink from the Stage

I tested now and couldn't get it working.

Maybe i miss something, or is this not possible ?

The Stage is great, but it would be nice if i could activate the BL5 for even more power / fun :)
