Ive noticed that any beta or official Firmware updates for the Theatre have really dried up recently.  I mean B&O was pretty slow from the start almost a year ago but Im a bit disappointed as both the app features / UI and firmware really need some improvements.

Location: Toronto, Canada

I think a lot of the team were on break over the summer months. I received an update today on beta so I think they will start build up momentum once again

No, as I hear it……..the BS Balance cannot simply converted to a Beolab. To me it sounds as simple to do as plugging in. 3.5mm Jackplug for earphones. However, it’s beyond B&O at this time.

There is also the question over Wi-Fi, WISA and Bluetooth. They are not all compatible together and antennas have to be minimum distance apart. I think WISA is the problem?

All this is my speculation but I would not be surprised if an adapter-product is finally developed to link all these Beosound loudspeakers together for solid stereo or surround pairing. They really need to.

Software on BS TH and BL 28 are now on 3.2.1

_
General question for users: are we advised to recalibrate listening locations after an update due to updated sound profiles in the software?

Thank you

I dont think so.

I wad given Beta 3.2.1 a couple of weeks ago but received no instructions other than to log the experience. No stated improvements were listed. No Beta/User adjustments were stated as required.

My general assumption - given what is in the public domain currently is that a) there was general de-bugging of Mozart issues, and b) possibly new algorithms for newly released products (BL8??)

Received the update 3.2.1 yesterday. Sound volume from TV has decreased drastically. Normal listening volume was around 50, now I have to crank it up to 55!! Switching between channels causes audio loss! Sometimes no sound at all. In other words, drama. Anyone else with the same problems?

I'm using BL3's connected via WiSA. Works fine. However, the BT does not know that BL3's are connected, and there is now way to tell this to the BT. Hence the loudspeaker-specific bassmanagement cannot work like it was appraised. This would need changes to the software. So far I have seen no indication that B&O has intentions to change this.
