Stage Mk2

54 replies
Back to Europe today on my travels, and it appears a new stage with optional surround speakers and maybe sub are on the way post March time. All I know unfortunately!

There have been rumblings of this for a little while it seems! If they could integrate PowerLink into this somehow, it would be amazing!

For sure, I would cancel my eclipse order and buy a Stage with Powerlink/Wisa instead. Probably only miss PUC integration but that's not worth few thousand euro to me.

Expect big delays early next year due global chip shortages. Effects all products.

This is why I've been a bit unsure that a more advanced stage is coming, unless of course B&O don't mind the cannibalization of other products.

Sounds about right! I ordered my new Vanmoof Bike 2 months ago, just got the shipping notification this morning.

Who says that they - if there is thruth in this rumour - will be using PL/WiSA?

They might instead be utilizing the power of the new Mozart platform, if that would be integrated….......for connecting additional speakers.

If it’s PL/WiSa, i doubt it’ll be any kind of “cheap” just because of the parts needed and it’ll loose the Atmos certification unfortunately because of the way the TrueImage works currently and the restrictions Dolby puts on the Atmos/TrueHD license

Why is that?

They did not loose the Dolby HD licence - it (the Atmos) is just a decoder…..I guess Dolby will be happy with the money they become.

I don't think either it will become a powerlink product. But to extend the stage TV sound to other speakers would really be an additional USP to the product. Others are doing this, Sony, B&W etc. So if they want to grow in this market segment they have no other choice in my opinion. And I guess they will as this segment is much larger then persons buying a complete Beolab surround setup.
