Who made your Speaker Groups - and how many do you have?

51 replies

Hi,

Some quick questions for those of you with a BeoPlay V1, BeoVision 11, BeoVision Avant or a BeoSystem 4:

1. How many Speaker Groups do you have configured in your television?

2. Who configured them? The installer or you (or both)?

3. How many different listening/viewing positions do you have for those Speaker Groups? Just one, or more than one?

4. Do you have external loudspeakers attached to the television?

Thanks

If you have questions about or problems with B&O equipment, these should be directed through your dealer and/or B&O's Customer Service department.

I cannot be a "short circuit", bypassing these communication channels.

Would you like to do this as a poll? I can edit your original post (I think!)

Is that OK? the system is a bit limited as you can only seem to ask one question!! 😁

- 4 speaker groups

- I configured them

- 2 listening positions

- 2 external speakers attached

- 4 speaker groups

- I configured them

- 2 listening positions

- 2 external speakers attached

A bit off-topic: I am aware that television-based systems are more in the spotlight today than audio-only systems, but I don't have/need/want a television and I would love to have the option to programme several listening positions with my audio master.

I have three Beolab speakers attached to my audio master to enable two listening positions:
- listening position 1: speakers A and B with left-right balance set at zero
- listening position 2: speakers A and C with left-right balance set at +4 on the left

Unfortunately I have to use a DIY manual solution to select the right speakers and I have to manually adapt the balance when I change listening position. 

Will I ever have this programming option with an audio-only system?

Thanks 🙂

I voted, but to answer the questions Geoff;

I have four speaker groups configured

Which I set up myself

At the moment just one listening position, but with intended room changes, I will set up at least one other.

And yes, I have my Beolab 9's attached to the TV and also some Tannoy MX2 's via a Sony ES amp and adaptor lead from the V1 for surround purposes.  

All signal processing and levels in this setup are controlled by the V1.

I intend replacing the present surrounds with further B&O speakers in due course.

Hope this helps; albeit I'm curious as to what is behind the curtain so to speak....lol

Kind regards

John.. 🙂

Hi,

I'm sorry, but, for obvious reasons, I'm not allowed to comment on features or products that may or may not exist in the future.

However, I do collect questions like this one - or questions that start with "why can't I..." - to use as ammunition in planning meetings.

Cheers
