The ‘fixed sound level’ is not an option to me…..
….since I also want to use the sources of the Essence (in addition to the audio from the tv).

I use – for an older Philips 32” tv in a guestroom – an ARC Extractor with an Essence MK2 (line-in) and a set of BL3.

Works, but volume control is a bit fiddly.
The tv volume has to be set high…..if I want it louder, I have to use  the Essence Remote (or the app).

I assume, that it would have worked smoother with the Hall Audio Streamer or the OneRemote-box with the BL3’s directly connected.
But I wanted the Essence (and Beolink multiroom) in the mix.
That’ll do for now!

If I could get my hands on a V1-32 at a reasonable price, I’d probably replace the current solution.

@Guy

Yes, seems so – I only noticed it recently.
I haven’t had the chance to test it yet, but I am sure, that it will work.
Erland/OneRemote knows what he is doing.

“How was it different from using an Essence or Core?\n\n\u00a0”

Modern tv’s (but not all) have an optical digital output, that can be used with the Core.

No modern tv has analog audio output and – for the Essence – you’d have to use a Digital to Analog Converter in addition.

However every (modern) tv has a HDMI/(e)ARC socket.
That is what is used on the Hall Audio Streamer.
It is more reliable, turns on/off with the signal.
(That is the port used with soundbars).
You simply use the original tv remote.

 

So, the BS Core can be used – however, those, who are willing to spend what that costs, will rather buy the Connect Core instead….
…..a device that B&O waited very (too) long to introduce and that basicly does, what the Hall Streamer does with the addition of being able to work inside the Beolink network/the Mozart platform.

The Hall Streamer was very popular – it will surely be missed.
Those who are in need of a HDMI/ARC box may have a look on the solution from OneRemote.

Interesting!

Yes, maybe Steve can say something about the difference between our two solutions.

@Guy

Are you sure that that is the right cable?

I was recommended – and bought – this one and an adapter cable piece, when I wanted to connect my Essence MK2 to a Passive driving my CX100 in the kitchen (so basicly same scenario).

That works perfectly!

Software version – shown in the display…

On the remote press MENU, then MENU, then 0, then 0, then PLAY.

Generally the procedure is different from one version of the Beo4 to another.

Have you tried activating (GO) A.Setup?

If you prefer to buy one….
….you’ll need something like this

Danke dir!

Übrigens, eine andere und wie ich meine, bessere, ist diese.

Etwas teurer, aber dann auch komfortabler, wenn mal eingerichtet.

@David

It needs to be PCM.

@Per

Unlike the Beoworld Forum Discord/(the group there/Beotalk and B&O) is a closed forum….you’ll need an invite.
If you watch the Beotalk YT show, you probably can get an invite from Miki.

Hallo Stefan

Für diesen Oldtimer ist keine Nachrüstung möglich – es gibt für keine von den B&O-geräten Nachrüstmöglichkeiten!

Beocenter 9300 hat jedoch Anschlussmöglichkeit für externe Geräte…….DAB+ adapter gibt es jede Menge auf dem Markt.
Diese müssen dann extern bedient werden.

Die einzige Möglichkeit – die ich kenne – für eine einigermaßen integrierte Lösung ist die von Oneremote.dk.
Siehe mal hier

Best consult an installer.
They might have installed one of these recently – maybe they have the spare parts.

Could you maybe describe what you actually have!

Maybe someone else can chime in ?
It is a long time since I dealt with that – do not remember exactly.
I’d have to stand in front of one to recall it.

However this is what it looks like, when installed:

I agree regarding the settings of the ATV!

Furthermore please read the article that Geoff Martin wrote years ago on his website.

Here are the main points:

”……you still find that the dialogue is a little hard to understand, and the surrounds are a little hot (this is often the case when your sofa and the surround loudspeakers are all situated against the same wall, you should not be afraid to do the following:

make the centre channel one or two milliseconds early. You can do this by telling your surround processor that it’s about 30 to 60 cm farther away than it really is.
raise the level of the centre channel 1 or 2 dB
drop the level of the surrounds as much as necessary – in my experience, it’s not unusual to have to drop them by as much as 6 dB if you’re against the same wall with them. (Note that, if you have a BeoPlay V1, a BeoVision 11 or a BeoSystem 4, you can do this using the “Fader” adjustment in the Sound menus. This will merely control the relative levels of the Front and Surround / Back loudspeakers – so it’s a one-fader solution to doing it manually for each loudspeaker output.)”

The only source I can find online is this

The Almando products have been discussed here several times throughout the years.

There are mixed reviews….often people returns to a B&O solution (the BS Theatre) after a while.

I would advice to wait for posts with positive reviews for Almando, before purchasing – in the meantime you could search the forums including the old ones.

Personally I am looking forward to the solution from Neomesteren. – the products, that they have up ‘till now, are excellent.

Anyway – it will be very hard to get the integration with projector/screen and tv, that you aim for.
Tv’s are getting bigger and bigger, which leaves less need for B&O to provide this kind of solution.
That said….it might be possible with a great deal of DIY.
Some have used a BeoSystem 4.

Running a BS Theatre with a projector/screen solo, however is not a big problem, but you will probably need a professional installer for that.

As for ‘Brodersen timer etc’ – I have no idea…never heard of that.

Finally:
I agree with Peter in his post: “you need to think about what you want to achieve”.

Best luck finding the best solution.

Hi Johan

Out of interest…….which (audio) sources are you able to use, when at the BV10?
And how do you start these with the Beo4?

MM

That will be hard to beat 😉
