Hey everyone, did you know that you will soon be able to stereo pair two Emerge speakers directly in the B&O app?  A new software update which launches very soon will make this possible without needing to use Chromecast - thanks for listening to my request B&O!  I will release a video with full details as soon as this update is rolled out...watch this space!

Hi,

Not yet, but I am now planning to buy a second Emerge for this, as I would love to be able to play them in stereo.

I will update you once I have got this tested!

Kind regards, Steve.

Is it a SW update or an app update? Haven’t seen a new version of the app in the App Store. My dealer told me the launch of the feature has been pushed back a bit (it is called Speaker Link, right?).

Hi 1990,

There have been both software and app updates in the past day or so, not sure which one triggered the change but it is a very welcome update. This is just what is needed to sell a second Emerge to many owners of a single speaker!

Kind regards Steve.

Definitely a sw upgrade of the little speaker - and an app update in order to make it happen....if you have 2 of them.

Wondering if that is done using the same technology, that also works in the BL28 (LC3plus from Fraunhofer)....probably is.

in that case the BS Balance should be up next, I guess.

Amazing news!

It would also be great to have some confirmation on what sources support stereo playing if the speakers are stereo-paired with the B&O app rather than with Google Home (in which case, it only supports Chromecast as an input, please correct me if I'm wrong).

Hi,

I'm just waiting for the opportunity to test this, I think it should work for all sources, but I will report back asap once I have checked.

Kind regards, Steve.
