WiSA SoundSend Review (using with Beolab 20)

35 replies

I got a soundsend a week ago, and use it with my 7.1 B&O system, incl 5 legacy speakers via receiver 1.

My experience from using a Klipsch Hub for 5 years, say that the software run on the hub AND the speakers/receiver 1’s is critical.

Hence to have a meaningful discussion on connectivity issues, every poster could state software versions used.

With Soundsend software 1.39, and B&O speaker software 1.06 i have zero dropouts to date and the sound is clear and immersive when set-up correct for each source. My B&O software version is probably not the latest, but I have no way of updating it short of dragging the entire system to my local dealer (Again!)

Do anybody know the latest B&O WiSA software version?

Another issue is lack of “wisa soundsend” app in my local Asian Apple (IOS) App store. I was lost, until we got an old android phone to run soundsend app.

I have 2 sources via HDMI ARC: Streaming movies in LG Smart TV App and Roon from a NUC computer (via HDMI cable to TV). I was concerned about using the TV as pre-amp/channel switcher, but the SQ does not seem to suffer compared with my old hub which had multiple inputs.

With this set-up, it is however very cumbersome to switch source, as Soundsend settings need to be switched as well (Music from the NUC sound like mono in “movie setting”). Does anybody have a suggestion on how to do this smoothly?

does anybody know a programmable IOS remote app, which can control Soundsend, LG TV and my NUC? I am not keen on another universal remote, after logitech stopped supporting my 2 year old elite remote.

Support in now available from support@wisaassociation.org and Eric is helpful

I'm using the Wisa Soundsend with a pair of Beolab 28. When using the Music-, Movie- or Night-mode, the sound is amplified so much, that it's causing sound compression. A good example is "Bass, I love you" on Youtube. Thus I have to keep it on direct-mode. 

Anyone else experiencing this?

Same experience with my beolab 28 front and bL 17 in surround. It sounded so dampened and deformed I went back to the usb axiim link. Perfect Down sampling  and no annoying switching profiles. I ordered an additional BL 19 for the setup and this will make it a 4.1 setup that SoundSend supports. Maybe I’ll give it another try but after testing the simple dongle, SoundSend and axiim my preferred setup is axiim all the way
