There was – as I recall – a thread about something like that on the old forum.

However, I can not imagine how the speakers i.e. the sound should benefit from placing an ‘acoustic lens’ on the top…..unless the speaker would be new tuned etc for this – which probably noone can do apart from the guys in the Acoustic Department in Struer.

If you like the looks of an acoustic lens on these old speaker (it seems that the ‘lens’ is all that is offered) go for it.

Not my cup of tea and a bit expensive IMHO.

Sorry to say it – it seems that your converter is not properly configured.

What you ask for should be possible.

 

Back in the glory days of the converter B&O made a little box, that can provide the ML with power…..for those who still had a ML-based link setup, had a new NL-based tv and wanted to ditch the old audiomaster.

You should be able to do the same with the 1611 converter.

Personally I’d keep the 3200 and hide it away, if needed.
Maybe someday you want to play CD’s again or use the AUX for a turntable ?

My guess is at the IFA in Berlin, which is in the beginning of September this year.

As long as I can control ‘the unit’ with a Beoremote and it can be linked soundwise to my setup in the house, I shall be happy ?

MM

[Millemissen]

I can not imagine this ‘soundbar’ working different than the BS Stage, the BV Eclipse/Harmony, when it comes to integration with a tv.

You’ll need the compatible LG tv for this and the B&O remote controlling.
However, it might work with other brands as well….just like the Stage.

We’ll see, when officially presented/launched…..we still know fat too little.

Another interesting aspect…

…..will this device have Atmos capabilities (or not)?

MM

[Millemissen]

Either of the 3 – MCL2P, MCL/ML Converter, Beolink Passive – will do.
They are basicly the same, when it comes to acting as an amp.

Do remember that they will need a fully wired/MK3 Powerlink cable in order to turn on/of.

@Robert_A

That really looks gorgeous ?

MM

[Millemissen]

Some times the Beo4 can act strange.

If it happens again, try to take the remote away from the room.

MM

[Millemissen]

However, the big question is…..how are these ‘channels out’ realized?

PL, WPL (WiSA), Mozart-linked or?

The Birdman with the two Lucius singers in a live session from his Live from the Great Room series performing the Velvet Underground song Venus in Furs.

The song can also be found on the tribute album:

I’ll Be Your Mirror – A Tribute To The Velvet Underground & Nico

Unless you overwrite/change the default bas redirection settings, you will have more bas from two BL9 than you can ever get with the BL19.
In some cases you might achieve a better/more uniform bas reproduction in the room by keeping the 19 (e.g. in the back of the room) and by tweaking the redirection settings (have a look at the Technical Sound Guide if you want to dive into this).
However this is not for ‘beginners’ and probably won’t be needed in your rather small room.

Tip!
Be sure to make different Speaker Groups for video and for audio listening (for this also see the Technical Sound Guide).

P.S.

If you don’t need surround and rear speakers in the new room, you could use one set 18’s and the 19 in another with a BS Core or alike.

Thanks. Leaning more and more towards a used Horizon though now. You are right. Horizon even has a sound module and WISA. One question: Is it possible to set it to start always with Apple TV? If so, do the curtains still show and can I still use beolink and googlelink/chromecast? Also, have you tried to connect bluetooth controllers (gamepads) to the Horizon?

———

Sure you can start direct with AppleTV (or rather with a source that is connected to a HDMI input on the Horizon).
You just push the TV button and press List untill AppleTV is in the display of the remote and then ok with middle round button. Or much easier….you use one of the MyButtons for this (including the sound setting you might have made specifically for this source/the ATV).
The curtains – of course – still will open.

Yes, you can use Beolink (NetworkLink), if the Horizon (and your setup) is configured for this.

Not sure what you mean by ‘googlelink/chromecast’?

I have no experience with ‘gamepads’ – probably someone else has. Do you mean controlling the tv or the ATV (for gaming)?

Although I generally am an advocate for having a center speaker in a video setup………in your case – with one viewer, I think that will be alright………as long as you sit in the sweetspot.

Would the 7000 automatically turn on of a source was selected on the Core? This is if the speakers are connected to the 7000 and Core connected via Tape. But then I lose the Tape…

———

No, the 7000 won’t turn on in that case.

When the speakers are connected to the Core (and the 7000 to the line in of the Core), this will turn on, when you e.g. start a CD on the 7000.

As Steve says, set the 7000 to approx 70-80 % and leve it there. Then control the volume via the Core…..you’ll probably end off using the sources of the Core most anyway.

In your case try both ways to see what suits you best ?

MM

[Millemissen]

That is definitely a MK1 (the best ?).

Means no bluetooth there!

You could however, use the A/V input with the right adapter cable to connect a BT receiver of some kind…

……or even better get a Essence MK2 or a Core and (link/) integrate that with the Avant. This way you’d have BT and more turning the BV on when you start the playback.

MM

[Millemissen]

You could do a (google) search for Avant MK1 and Avant NG.

If you’d post a picture of the main menu, we’d know —— the MK1 has the menus on the left side of the screen and the NG has the menu items horizontal at the bottom with the access to the ‘smart’ functions etc.

Which remote do you use?

MM

[Millemissen]

Could you please state which version (MK1 or NG), you have.

Are you sure that you refer to the right user guide?

Hi Kiran, Which speakers are you using please? It is often simpler to link the Core as an input to the 7000 via the Tape socket and connect the speakers to the 7000. Please feel free to email me and I can help with the best option for your needs. Kind regards, Steve

Indeed that would be my advice too!

Hi Everyone Thanks for the advice. MM, the Aux/TV port is unfortunately an input.

Are you sure/did you try it?

That port used to be the connection to a compatiple BV ..….and this works both ways.

P.S.

It is very long ago that I used it this way ?
