Oh no!

A (Mozart) Core with a HDMI/eARC connection.

With only 2 channels support ?
Where did the most important speaker for tv viewing – the center – go?
Not that I expected TrueImage processing built-in – but this really is too ordinary.

And the CEC support – will that bring control of the tv/the connected AppleTV….
….as Mbee asks?
Or is the future two remotes on the table?
Only a visit in a B&O store can clarify that…I guess.

P.S.
I’ll stick to my trusted Essence MK2 boxes for 2 channel music/radio listening and my Theatre for tv/movie watching with great multichannel sound.

The volume gain for individual sources is accessible under “… / Sources / Source Behaviour /”.

The select a source, scroll down the resulting page and there is a Volume Gain setting.

I’ve tried it, and it’s not obviously making much difference (I’ve set gain to +4 for one specific source so far).

 

Thanks Sandyb

Got it now!

3.4.1(8) update for my Theatre today – the regular update.

Can’t say much yet – had to restart my AppleTV (unplug/replug) to have it activated as I started watching this evening.

I guess the ‘individual start up volume for sources’ thing is only relevant, if you use the app of the LG-tv (which I do not do), or?
By the way, I do not see where this should be handled in the app.

Study this and/or this in order to get a well balanced sound in the room.

Should not be hard to find in Denmark.

But the shipping costs would be gigantic, I guess.

Have a look on this site (equivalent to ebay in Denmark).

Very well, yes!
I have done that for 30 years now.

No going back…..it has gotten better and better – especially since I got the BS Theatre.

And, by the way – music is not limited to two channels (usually called stereo)……the more channels, the better ??????

Please send my regards to the ‘she’….getting rid of the door is an excellent idea.
The setup needs more room to ‘breathe’.
You (and ‘she’) won’t regret it!

Maybe 8s as front and 8000 as rear will perform better in the surround system , 80% sound come from L C R，and 8s is technically better than 8000

I’d second that…..didn’t you think of that?
I guess that would also be a better solution optically, since the setup is pretty squeezed in the front due to the placement.

Only reason not to do so, could be that you’d have to have a PL cable running to the back.
That might be doable, though (?)
Otherweise you could use a Receiver 1 for WiSA connection to the BL8000 in the back.

While each version brought improvements, the latest iteration stands out. Its sleek interface, intuitive navigation, and seamless integration with B&O products make it my top choice. With enhanced functionality and a user-friendly design, it truly enhances my audio experience.

That could be a quote from an official B&O PR announcement!

Can you really ignore the flaws, that a lot of users have described?

However – if it is true in your case – no doubt, you are one of the very few content app users.

IMO streaming via BT is a handy solution, when you e.g. have guests in the house and you are not interested in giving them the password for your home wifi network.

Streaming via Airplay or Chromecast / Deezer, Spotify Connect (or Tidal Connect) is the better solution.

but now I have a question :

I’ve been through eclipse settings , and beolab settings on app , and can find no setting for using the 19 sub with the 8s for music streaming .

is it possible to do this ?

or will the sub only turn on when the tv is on , and the 8s will only stream Bluetooth when tv is off ?

You can not add a sub to the BL8’s.
Only way is to make a Speaker Group with the BL8’s and the BL19 in the BV Eclipse – which means that the BV Eclipse will turn on for processing the sound.
You can not use the BL8’s for BT, when set up with the BL19 as a Speaker Group.

As far as I remember you can stream via BT to the BV Eclipse directly and this way use the BL8/19 Speaker Group for listening.

A lot of NL/ML Converter users have this question.
I haven’t heard of any explanation yet.

I guess that would be with the sliders in the middle position…..neutral value.

How about a “pair” of Theatres?

I know that this isn’t practical, but I’m curious if the software could handle this. (Hopefully this question isn’t too off-topic)

This would be kind of like wanting to be the driver of two cars at the same time ?

Hi Mjoelnir

The BS Core has one input port, which is combined mini-jack analog and toslink.

In your case you will only need an adapter cable between the turntable and a male minijack connector.

There is no option to control the volume on a Beogram itself (the output is fixed) – this is done in the Core.

Once you have connected it there, the Core turns on to that input (i.e. autosense), when the turntable has started.
You can use the B&O app for volume controlling like with all other sources like B&O Radio etc.

The turntable will show up as an AUX-connected device.
You will not be able to remote control the turntable (pause, play etc) – that must be done on the turntable.

Alternatively you can control the volume with the Beoremote One, an Essence Remote or the Halo remote.

You can find a list of the ASE in this explanation of new and old way to use ‘Join’ here:

ASE

So yes, the Core is an ASE product.

ASE stands for ‘Audio Streaming Engine’ and was the first generation of the NL platform, which replaced the old ML platform.

There have been some minor updates of the ASE platform along the way.
