What new is next?

I think it's a soundbar. It's the one that i mentioned a few weeks ago. A sounder would most certainly fit well in the PLAY range. Very welcome addition!

if it really is a soundbar, that could indicate that one of the next TVs is a scree only design, maybe like 4 and 7 were.

 

Doubt that, also doubt that they would produce a speaker to be used with other Tvs

It could be some sort of S8 replacement, portable yet a lottle wider to have stereo effect

I hope it's an NL link speaker would really like to replace the bl3500
Sorry, it is a BeoPlay product.

Look at the Logo 🙂

The video from Facebook page show the prototype made in cardbox.
Beoplay is fine by me.

As long as it connects with the network.

What about the round in wall product that the person is putting their hand on. That's interesting as well.

JK, I think it would definitely be wise for B&O Play to move into the sounder market. It could integrate with other Play future speakers just like the SONOS Soundbar does with their range. Don't forget Play is aimed at the Apple/Smart Phone market so this does make sense. With PLAY, they must realise that the majority of customers either can't afford the price of a V1 or simply would not dream of spending as much as that on a TV but in time, they may want a PLAY Soundbar at £500-600.

Could that be a soundbar or a new link speaker?

It is a study from the Innovation Camp - nothing more.

There are two component to good sound from a tv:

1: the audioengine working in the tv.

2: the speaker/s built-in or connected to the particular tv.

However, feel free to dream on.

Well, the SONOS at £600 certainly seems to be selling extremely well and B&O would L-O-V-E those SONOS customer would they not?

Thanks for the audio lecture these MM :) Tell me the one about the old Android driven Moment again :)

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

Why can't the audio engine be built into the speaker?

If you add PUC and IR functionality to a NL enabled Beoplay soundbar I think it would interest a big audience.
