Mid-july, 379€, Airplay+DLNA

No mention if they will release an app to make all Playmakers pay in synch. (and ultimately, a way to play in synch with a playmaker and BS5/BS5e)

Their website is down :-(

Welcome playmaker :) I hope it is wall mountable also.

Oh dear, it's a bit ugly isn't it.  The top looks like the bottom of a product - maybe it is and its a trick photo. AND if it's a BeoPlay, why does it say BANG&OLUFSEN and just B&O?

The new Apple Airport is definitely a nicer design!

Interestingly, there seems to be a little mistake on the Beoplay support page for the V1, see Page 2 at

So it would perhaps be possible to use this Playmaker to connect to my BeoSound 1 (that so far have been unused)? Does anyone know if the Playmaker has a line-out, or do I need a RJ45 to Mini-jack balun?

By the way, does the Beo6 use DLNA to communicate/control to the Playmaker, or is the Beo6 only to adjust volume?

That's no BANG&OLUFSEN, all plastic, not a single bit of aluminium in sight! DAMN!!!

Makes the B&O PLAY range a better bet!  Really disappointed with this piece of plastic! So many opportunities for great design and BANG&OLUFSEN stick their name on a piece of... plastic!!! Just nasty this one!

And I am not sure why there is an implication that it only works with a Beo6 .....

I was wrong .. buried behind the glossy pictures was this detail

Even though every single Bang & Olufsen product, from our speakers to our TVs, is born from complex, hi-tech ideas our ultimate goal always remains the same: pure simplicity of usage and design.

Simplicity gives freedom. Which is why we give you complete control over power, track changes and volume adjustment, direct from your Bang & Olufsen remote.
