Hi,
Just wanted to share with you what I think may be an interesting product for the B&O crowd.
B&O has been at the forefront on the WiSA front for many years and it seems other brands are now waking up.
Check this out:
https://www.buchardtaudio.com/products/stereo-hub
You can think of this as a Core + Transmitter 1 in one box.
On top of that, it supports more sources than the Core (Including Roon), has more inputs (several optical and hdmi).
They also have an iOS app that claims can do room correction (using the iphone as the calibration tool and then uploading that room profile to the hub)
It also seems to be distributed under different brands:
Buchardt: https://www.buchardtaudio.com/products/stereo-hub
System Audio: https://system-audio.com/product/stereo-hub/
Platin: https://www.phonar.de/english/wireless_hifi_eng.html
What do you guys think? I think this could be a great option for someone that wants to run a pair of 18s, 20s as a standalone music system or perhaps even connected to a TV via HDMI?
Got one today. Works flawlessly
charlessims: Got one today. Works flawlessly
Great to hear! Tell us more!
Did you try the room compensation, where did you buy it from?
Beovision 7-55 MK1 red, Beolab 10 red. Beolab 50, all black. Beolab 17 broken ice. Beolab transmitter. Apple tv4 and apple express 2.
Esax:Unfortunately, it looks like ***.
Haha, yeah sure that Transmitter white box and Core looks so great.
And what, the Core is making its way into MOMA?!
Got the hub from https://www.audiologica.co.uk/product/system-audio-stereo-hub/.
Not big in any way. Got it hooked up to my tv using HDMI arc with the volume being passed through, so the tv remote controls the volume. Connect to my Wi-Fi so AirPlay is available and automatically turns on the hub/speakers when connected.
After software updating to hub via usb stick, I turned the hub and speakers on and without any prompts they all connected together through WISA.
You can use the room calibration as that is on the hub not the speakers. Make a horrible noise and you walk around the room with your phone which is recording the signal. UpYou are supposed to have the hub visible to the speakers, however I have it in my media cabinet and the connection has had no problems as of yet.
I have no tried the analogue inputs for my Records or Beocord yet.

That is correct. You can look at the app on the App Store and it shows a graphic of the calibration it offers. Not full range, looks to be about 20hz to 300hz. Bass only really. The calibration was a nice extra for me, mainly wanted the WISA function.
Hi
System Audio claims that the stereohub doesn't support Beolab 18 + 19 because the way thay are set up i different.
Buchard audio claims that it does. Who should I believe. It seems like it is the same product
I can guarantee it works with 17’s and hence there is no reason it will not work with 18’s.
The only thing I would double check is that the hub can transmit a sub signal, as I am using stereo only.
Plain is the original manufacturer so I would suggest contacting them.
