What the point for a B&O customer to use this 7.1 Wisa audio transmitter. 

When B&O dont have a center speaker with wisa. 

 

Would the B&O Receiver1 solve that, connected to a BL7-4 or BL10 or BL17 via PL cable?

SA in DK make a WISA center speaker that looks pretty cool; certainly not ugly. Be interesting to hear what someone in the know thinks of their products. 

B&O should just get it over with and release a Stage with this capability built-in.

Of course at the risk of cannibalizing Beovision sales, but I think they could still differentiate on design, materials and better integration.

I fully agree, the Stage is a very interesting proposition and if WiSa would be included and one could build a complete WiSa surround system with the Stage as starting point, I'd be tempted very much.

Unfortunately it is not done with just adding WiSA transmitting (or some PowerLink port for that matter).

The Stage has it’s own unique audio processing built in - which includes accepting a Dolby Atmos encoded signal.

The Sound Center (of the BV Harmony/Eclipse however, has the True Image processing of B&O built-in and distributes the sound (via WiSA and/or PowerLink) in a rather different way.

What you ask for is a quite different product than what the Stage is and can offer.

What you aim at, is a center speaker (or a 3 channel speaker) with audio processing and distribution for several channels built-in (using WiSA in your case).......that would be a quite different product.

Maybe that will come some day - who knows (and if, then probably at a much higher price than the Stage of today).

Just adding a WiSA transmitter to a Stage does not do the job......it is the way the audio is processed and distributed to muliple channels, that is the important thing!!!

So if I buy this Wisa Soundsend device, and 5 Beolab 1 receivers (maybe secondhand?..) and connect the Soundsend to my LG C9 Oled and all transmitters to my existing Beolab speakers (7.1 centre, 8000s front, 6000s rear) I would achieve full 'wireless' modern (dts, atmos, etc etc) surround sound, controlled with my LG remote and no hassle with additional surround receivers, etc? 

Or would this also work without a Soundsend? 

So only wisa Beolab 1 receivers?

Because the LG C9 has wisa built in, like mentioned in this topic:

/forum/dutch/beotalk-1400#post-1729587

Or would the Soundsend be a better option because you can set things like speaker distances, audio modes, level control etc:

Yes, of cource that would work.....if you’d be happy with the rudimentary multichannel functions, that the WiSA Ready function of the LG-tv’s - or for that matter the Soundsend - offers.

Not much B&O expertice left there, then.....and they could sack half of the staff in the Acoustic Department in Struer.

Not much need for B&O overall, then........when it comes to sound from (multichannel) video sources and integration with other B&O devices.

And what benefit would the Soundsend have compared to other already existing WISA transmitters, like the Axiim Link HD, which also suits my WISA-ready LG oled?

Edit: already found my answer:

Guess this system would be perfect for me... Only need 5 beolab transmitter 1's... Pricey.... 

Please post your experience with the setup once you are done.

Will interest others here on the forum, I guess.

If one is satisfied with 5.1 sound via wisa wouldn’t the LG tv C9 etc be able to do this standalone? Or does LG wisa only offer stereo?
