For me it is an advanced beolit. And why so much portable speakers? The product philosophy is confusing me. greetings

To me it is the first portable Mozart-based speaker/soundsystem.

Maybe – even if it is in danish – this thread from the late Peter Pan could be of interest for the viewers of this thread.

Alt om Beo4 & BeoOne

A wealth of information about the Beo4 and more there – please use google translate, if you need to.

(The m3 Millemissen’s great idea!) The M3 is wired to the home network and I use Beolink multiroom to play the record player

Actually the idea came from Henrik of the BOTF – maybe he even had it from a member of the BOTF.

So kudos goes to Henrik….I was just the messenger.

(I do this myself – with an M3 and the turntable well hidden away in a cupboard….because I seldom play vinyls.
It works well, though).

Did you try adjusting the line-in sense options?

Please have a look here

Hi and welcome on the forum.

Most likely your BV7 is a MK3 version.
You can find the User Guides etc to the BV7
here

As you see, you must register the HDMI port, you want to use for the ATV to an AV input and thereby choose which ‘button’ on the Beo4 remote, you want to use to activate that port.

The two HDMI port with cables are for the build-in DVD player and for the digital tuner (do not use these) – use one of the free ones.

if you want to use the AppleTV (which version?), you must connect it via a HDMI cable as described above/in the Guide.

You must log in to the box with your AppleID in order to get other/additional apps etc there……if it is a newer version.

Or you can simply Airplay to it.

The ATV must however, be connected to your home network (same as your iDevices) either with a network cable or via the wireless function, that you can configure in the menu of the ATV.
In order to control it, you willhave to use the small remote, that came with the ATV.

If you have further questions – after studying the Guide and having tried things out – feel free to get back with further questions.

Lots of posts on the old forum

https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/search/SearchResults.aspx?q=Multiplay&o=Relevance

Some like it, others not – is relatively expensive imo.

You can see the current playing radio station in the B&O app – not on the BROne.

 

With the BROne you have control using bluetooth – and this works only with the device the remote is paired to.
If you want to control another you have to switch to that (assumed the remote is set up for more devices).

Controlling through the app works over the local network and there you have control of several devices on the same page/through one interface.
However, they are still individually controlled – there is no ‘universal’ volume control of all devices.

P.S.
Volume controlling groupwise is only available, if you use Chromecast for streaming and have made the wanted group of devices in the Google app.
This does not work in the B&O app.

The user guide found….
….here
might help.

Beware – almost all BS4/DAB are DAB only, no DAB+

Actually there is not much more to read about than what you already know from the box and the Masterlink Handbook.
It does what it says (no sw updates required ?).

A must have tool for those who still install/maintain ML setups.

What I could think of, is to make a (plywood or alike) insert….
…..something that lets you connect and halfways hide the conversion cable – and then stick your iPad with velcro to that.

I doubt that you can find a way to ‘Dremel out’ in order for the iPad and the cable to fit into the original mould.
But – who knows – maybe you will come up with a solution….to show here.

And yes it is a pity that you can’t use a newer iPad with the A3 – it was a nice idea and quite good sounding.

My own – with the original iPad – still works with Spotify and Radio Paradise/TuneIn (older versions)….at least last time I tried.
Nowadays it works as a clock and stays so……just for nostalgia.

What would really be interesting for me, in the future when the Theatre will work with Mozart speakers, is to use 2 A5’s as additional temporary surround speakers. The battery would allow for placement where a power outlet is not available.

It would be cool to be able to snap one from the tv setup for listening in the garden (BT or Wifi) and be sure that it would know it’s role as a surround speaker, once it is back again ?

Hi MM, The A5 does not allow feeding analogue audio into the USB-C port. However, it can connect to a computer using a USB-C cable and thhis will play the computer audio to the speaker, as well as charging the speaker. Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Steve

Thanks for clarifying.

The problem is….that you on the A5 only have 1 USB-C port.

As long as the battery is full, you – theoretically – can use this for feeding audio (has to be tested, though).
But having to swap cables to charge * in the midst of an album, would be a no go for me.
(I am not aware of a solution/dongle that could charge the battery and pass audio through at the same time).

The A5 was made for wireless feeding of audio.
Imo there is nothing wrong with that……unless you absolutely want to connect a turntable (or an older Beosystem ?)

 

*Would be interesting to know, if connecting to a computer also includes charging?

Honestly….do you really think you can hear a difference using the A5?

MM

[Millemis]

Why not just airplay from your Roon device to the A5?

There are 1 woofer and and 1 tweeter – and then two tweeters, one on each corner.

And then there is DSP magic builtin.

A fully working BS Theater………with all new ‘satellite’ speakers for surround/rear/height ?

[Millemis]

Which version of the BV7 do you have?

Do you have a centerspeaker also added?

MM

Location: Flensborg————Danmark

[Millemis]

Not knowing which version of the BV7 you have and the configuration overall…..the most obvious reason is, that you can only add surround speakers, if you also have front speakers.
