Any news or strong rumours of new products for coming coming months?

New pair of headphones. Two pairs of earphones. Two pair of Cisco-branded devices.

Not sure about speakers 🙂

I believe there will be a Beolink product.

I would speculate that a black box device will either convert a multichannel audio output from a HDMI output and either re-broadcasts /output that signal as individual channels on different WISA (or wireless PL) frequencies such that B&O devices that are WISA-enabled Beosounds (and not Beolabs) can be used as satellite speakers in a surround setup. This could enable products like the Balance to act in a surround setup.

An alternative view is based on the same principle, the Beolink product “beams” a source signal to all Mozart products simultaneously (rather than internally from the Beosound/source) to enable around the house synchronisation of sound (B&O have struggled to implement this via tuning of the Mozart firmware?

“convert a multichannel audio output from a HDMI output”
Which B&O product has a HDMI output?

“…that B&O devices that are WISA-enabled Beosounds (and not Beolabs)….”
There are no WiSA-enabled Beosounds.

Maybe Im missing something? But I mean those funny-shaped holes on the back of the Stage?

Plug potential Beolink product into a Stage HDMI (or the panel)……..which then (potentially) transmits to multiple Beosound Balance or Edge etc….as separate surround channels (rather than a combined single-source channel ).

The same principle also applies if you make this potential link product connect to a “Master” BeoSound and let it transmit say Radio or DNLA file to other non-integratable Beosound products. This would over-come the sync/latency issues of multiple round-the-house Beosounds all not syncing together as we have it now.

…..oh and for the pedantic, maybe not WISA or wireless Powerlink but some sort of low-latency transmission to these non-integratable products? Please work with me on the principle/concept and not the minutiae of the detail for as yet an imaginary/unconfirmed product . thankyou

I really hope you are right Mr10Percent. I know a lot of Stage-owners who really love their product just have that “small” wish that they could connect some surround speakers or subwoofer to the system. I really hope that B&O listens to the wishes of the customers. Like you said it could be a transmitter only for Beosound products. I am sure that this would increase the sales of Beosound products by a lot & not hinder the sales of the Beolab products.
