Hi I am soon to receive a new BS Theatre. I have read through the technical sound guide My question is can one add “real” side channels using beolab speakers, in this case beolab 6000s, and how one would add a beoamp and belovox 2.1s for front height channel (without a rear height channel, or must one have F&R “real” height channels if you have any real height speakers)? Help!

You're saying you've read the instructions and have no idea on how to add 6000's as side channels? What would be your best guess based on what you read?

When you receive your Theatre and load the BeoApp, it will guide you through the stages from BR1 pairing, Listening positions and connecting speakers. You can add satellite speakers from the drop-down lists including BL6000s and Beovox1 and 2. You run roomsense andthe connected speakers, plus the soundbar will be room and speaker optimised. You can edit and adjust distances and levels post-roomsense. What roomsense cannot do is know where the speakers are….or how high they are…..only how far away they are from the Soundbar. (Which I believe contains two microphones itself I have been told??). Going thru the App and listening position configuration, you can assign position of each speaker.

Thank you. I see now that I will be assigning the *real* side firing and *real* height outputs at the time of set up. I just have to create the overall plan for which get hard power link and which get WISA AND WHICH (may) get Wireless transmitter one/receiver. Another question: Is there a recommended height range for the Theatre soundbar, does it depend on whether it is wall mounted or table mounted, and which comes first: Planning the TV wall position or planning the sound bar placement? Thanks in advance.

TBH, I would figure-out where you want your surround speakers. I do not have rear speakers because the room will not allow it. I have ear-level surrounds a just a little past 90deg from the listening position. Likewise, I can do heights above the surround, but I cant do heights directly above the BL90 fronts. The trick is to allow Roomsense do its job and figure out the distances, then depending on your preference, increase or decrease the volume on each channel until you get the sound/ambience you prefer. I would not over-think it and work within the real-world physical constraints.
