I assume this stereo pairing is a "Google Chromecast only" thing. So nothing that we will be able to enjoy in the "Beolink world".

Strangely, I have received no email regarding this.

Stereo pairing Will only work between identical speakers so you can pair 2 M3’s or 2 A9’s but not a mix. This will only work for sources that you can use for casting as it’s a cast-only feature. You need to set it up using the Google home app. 

I would say though that the M3’ really come to life with this update having them play in stereo.

So I just paired my two M3s. Sadly, I can only use Chromecast. Seems so odd to me that you can't pair them in the B&O app for ML and airplay. B&O if you're listening, please enable this! 

The two M3s in stereo sound sooo much better than one. Would love to be able to use them in NL/ML. Then I will update all my single point speakers to stereo!

I doubt it that’s still the case.

But I never checked it.

I think it is possible in the B&o app

I should have checked before writing!

You can adjust or disable the auto sense in the configuration menu! You can also fix the volume. Via the timer you could enable both M3s to wake up and shut down, in order for them to be powered up during teaching hours.

Yes, the auto sense is already in its most sensitive setting. They wake up, but I still lose the first few seconds of the sound. 

The timer/alarm is a good suggestion, I just checked, but I cannot choose the line in source, only tuneIn, standby, or an alarm tone. TuneIn has 7 channels or so I can choose from, I never logged in with a tune in account and it isn't selected as a standard source on the device.

Also, there's no duration to have them on, you can only schedule an event at a specific time or after a set timer. Even if that even would be 'turn on on line in', they would still shut down after the autosense tells them to, or at least that is what I would expect.

(I once posted in a thread about the 'retail mode' or 'store mode', which I hoped would do this, but I can't seem to turn that on. That thread is here:

So the only way to wirelessly stereo pair any non Beolab B&O speakers is through chromecast streaming only? That seems like such a big omission on B&O’s part since you can’t use NL or AirPlay. 

Am I missing something?
