Thanks for the review ?

Never consider an Edge, but I was quite impressed when I listened at my dealer when it was launched.

Could imagine it to be a conversation piece when you have a party ?

Very clever and good looking microphone included in the package 🙂

Hefty price for sure, but its the beovision for the future with all the connectivity one would expect.
Happy to see that it is available with a motorized wall bracket.
So it will be a bit under 100K SEK for a complete 55″ Beovision experience with the possibility to swap screen when panel technology evolve. Not too bad,

The setting PCM in the ATV means that the ATV must decode the stream – this way you won’t get any Atmos metadata….and thus no indication in the app. If set to Auto the ATV will know what us on ‘the other end’ and will send the Atmos stream for the Stage to decode = indication in the app. MM

Agree. In this case it was the TV that had the PCM setting.

[Hiort]

I found was I was looking for.

In the app under settings and sound info, I found this screen:

I was puzzled why it did not say Atmos.

Then I changed the sound out setting in the TV (Apple TV is connected to the TV) from PCM to Auto and then the following showed:

All good! ?

[Hiort]

Thanks Beofredrik.

I don’t have the Stage in my home. I helping my son a bit that has acquired a Stage for his new apartment.

Focus for us is mainly to see that Atmos is present while watching movies.

Think the short answer is that it is not possible (in any convenient way).

Im not super technical but you need to get the left and right channels, at line level out from the Levels. I do not see how that could be done.

[Hiort]

Noticed that when I switch to “classic interface”, the issue when shutting of the original source in a multiroom disappear.

I looked at my wife’s iPhone, and it did not have this option. However, I upgraded the software to a version released in mid-July, and it appeared. Therefore, I’d recommend upgrading the app (if you haven’t already).

I was on the Beta app that strangely enough is behind the public app sometimes. Now all is good.

[Hiort]

I found the page but only the first two toggle switches appear.

This new behavior is configurable in the app

Hmm…. cannot find that page in the app. Could you guide me to it?

[Hiort]

Thanks Stan! Did not notice that.

Will play around with the setting and see if the stupid thing with the original source in a multiroom play remain. Im afraid that “feature” is non configurable.

[Hiort]

Its a Samsung panel inside Horizon.

I would be surprised if B&O radio provides a higher bit rate than TuneIn since, it is my understanding, that neither service is actually providing the bit-stream, but rather more or less providing a catalog to find and connect to the bit-stream. The audio provider is the one actually broadcasting the bit-stream. I recall in the early days of streaming radio, some stations had higher and lower bitrate offerings – mostly for those folks who still had slow internet – but in today’s world of broadband everywhere, I would think most broadcasters probably don’t do that any longer.

I was going to test this, but then decided it would be too difficult since B&O radio capable devices can’t do TuneIn and vice-versa. Yeah, I could use bluetooth or Chromecast, but that’s adding another variable or two to the audio chain.

That makes sense. I was not aware of how the bitstream was served to the device.

[Hiort]

Anyone knows if B&O radio provide higher bitrate than Tunein?

[Hiort]

From the picture it looks as if it’s a complete TV rather than a soundbar. But the Beosound name says it’s something separate.
Wonder if it will be possible to slot any manufacturers panel into the soundbar, but perhaps with better integration (Beoremote) when using LG.

[Hiort]

After selecting the cog-wheel in the “radio screen”, it look like this:

 

When selecting Webbradio you come to this screen:

A few errors in my mind:

• Page is suddenly in english
• The ordinary user will not know what an ASE product is
• The sentence under “Bang & Olufsen Radio” is incomplete.
• I find no way to change the order of B&O radio channels you choose that after selection appear under “My stations”.

I have no BROne BT remote so I cannot say how it works.

Not sure how Hiort got this/B&O Radio working! Today I received an answer from the support team ( ). I got this explanation: ‘Det er korrekt at version 4.1.0 giver support i B&O appen for B&O radio på ASE produkter, dog kræver det også en opdatering af selve produktet, hvilket vil komme efter sommerferien.’ Which means, that the app is ahead of the SW of the ASE products. The product update will come after the summer vacations. P.S. They also mentioned that the regular app SE is ahead of the beta, because the had had to prioritize the regular one. MM

Yeah, that makes sense.
Im probably ahead when it comes to firmware since I participated in the beta program for the devices.

[Hiort]

To my knowledge you can only use the Beoremote One with the Horizon.

Not sure why you only get green light. I assume it would go into standby when you plug it to the mains.
