Hi Razlaw,

Yes, I had exactly the same issues with my stereo paired Emerge speakers yesterday since the software update.  I had to remove both speakers from my account in the app and then re-install them, which (so far) seems to have fixed the problem.

I have raised this to B&O, awaiting their reply…

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi,

Another new bug, my (cabled) stereo paired Emerges lost their pairing in the night for the first time ever after updating to 10017 recently.  By the way, I don’t suggest removing the battery from the Level when not in use.

Update: I checked from my router and I could see the Ethernet connection to both speakers, but they weren’t able to pair within the B&O app, only the primary speaker would play.  I removed both speakers from my account and added them again, went back through the setup process and they are working.

I will monitor their behaviour and I have reported the bugs, lets see if we get a response.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi,

Yes, this cable provides simultaneous audio in and out, so whatever is playing on the speakers (CD, radio, A. Mem or Aux) can also be recorded via the Aux output using this cable.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi all,

Update: After manually updating the Emerges to the new 10017 software, none of my iOS devices would log into the B&O app, except the one that I used to carry out the updates.

I fixed that my taking the phones to another wi-fi network and opening the app, then bringing them back home and they were then able to log in.

I guess this may be an issue with the corrupted log files from the 10015 software, as mentioned above by B&O.  Hope this may be helpful.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi trackbeo,

Yes, I accepted the new update manually, I had to update each Emerge separately as they were set to have auto updates turned off.  All is working fine at 10017 software level, with the auto updates still disabled after this manual update.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi,

I’m not sure about the Halo issue, but I have received the following response from B&O regarding the software updates:-

“We halted the rollout of 10015, because we found an error. This luckily didn’t affect any customers (no registered cases), but “polluted” logfiles. Now we have successfully rolled out 10017, which solves the error and also contains improvements for Bluetooth.”

I hope this helps to explain the situation so that these speakers should now be stable on the latest software update.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Pindsen,

I don’t know B&O’s future plans for each building (even if I did, it wouldn’t be my place to share this), but I know that things are looking positive for the company, with a good financial outlook and employee numbers rising again.

The Sound Hub is an exciting venture and there were people from various different companies in Struer when I was there who were using this facility.

This is certainly a positive time for B&O and I am interested to see what the future holds.

Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks Pindsen,

I didn’t record an interview with Kristian, we talked about our shared love of the brand (he has owned B&O since the 1990s, almost as long as I have!) and his vision for the future of the company.

I am excited that B&O is in good hands and I look forward to seeing what they will achieve in the next few years.

Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks MM,

I’m also a B&O “user” rather than a “collector” (I just have one B&O item that I don’t use at the moment, a 1970s Beocenter that is under repair).  I am torn between the two viewpoints, as I don’t want to see rare and unique B&O items hidden away and lost (sometimes not even able to be enjoyed by the owner), but I know that museums such as Struer and Bremdal have got some of their best items as gifts from private collectors.

Maybe if some collectors would be interested in “loaning” a few of their special items to a museum, or documenting the rarest items they have found, then this could help all the other B&O fans who haven’t had a chance to see or hear about these items.

I felt like a child in a sweet shop when I visited the B&O museums around the Struer area, I want more B&O enthusiasts to be able to experience this joy as well.

Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks Martin,

That is interesting to hear.  Would you be willing to have a conversation privately about possibly showing some of the pictures or documentation from your collection please?

There are a lot of people who share our love for vintage B&O products, but who don’t get the change to experience these wonderful collections and I know that many of them would be excited to hear about the items you have found.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Martin,

That is a good question! I wasn’t able to identify this, no-one else who I have asked seems to know either.  I wonder if it is a non-B&O cabinet that has had the gramophone added later?

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for this information, that is very interesting.

To avoid blocking up the Beoworld server, I have just posted one photo here.  You can see all the close-up photos on my Facebook page.  You should see more information there but please let me know if anything isn’t clear as I will be preparing a video with more views of the products in the next few days.

Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks Matador,

Please don’t worry, I know that you didn’t mean any disrespect. I am so grateful to the people who care for and display their vintage B&O collections, it is exciting to be able to view these and to share them with other B&O fans.

You may be interested to hear that B&O have recently purchased a further private collection (including a Hyperbo 5 RG Steel!) and that they are looking to curate this and make it visible to the public as part of a special exhibition. They kindly allowed me to film the items before they are restored and displayed, so I hope to be able to share this with you this week.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Matador,

I have huge respect and admiration for Ronnie and the “Beonists” at the Struer Museum, as well as for Morten, Lars and Viggo at Bremdal for their passion for the brand and for allowing other B&O fans to share the enjoyment of their collections.

By allowing us to see and enjoy the rare B&O products that they have found, they help us to keep our love for the brand alive, as well as contributing to this unique area of Denmark’s history.

Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks Martin,

I fully understand. I hope that some of these collectors may read this thread and choose to share some information of their collections (this can be done anonymously if they wish) for the benefit of other B&O enthusiasts.

One thing that has been very clear to me over the past week videoing the B&O items at Struer museum and in other collections has been that there is a great love and admiration among B&O fans for these vintage products and for the people who work to preserve them.

It would be wonderful if collectors could please consider showing your collections and sharing your love for the brand. It is always exciting when rare or unique B&O items come to light after being unseen for  years, then the thousands of people who share our passion for B&O can also enjoy hearing about them.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Martin,

I did put a question mark in the details of the video to suggest that this may be the largest, I am sorry for forgetting to add this in the Beoworld thread. Most of the large B&O collections that I have seen or heard about are around 100-300 items, so I haven’t heard of anything approaching this one at around 1,000 items anywhere else. I know that some people keep their collections quiet, but I haven’t heard of anything near to this size. Do you know of any others bigger than this one?

Kind regards, Steve.

By the way, please let me know if you find any useful new features in the latest software updates, as I am keeping my speakers at version 1.8.10015.12366 for the time being 😉

Hi,

Thanks, I really enjoyed making this video! If you like 90s B&O, there will be lots more in the next video which should go live in a week’s time…
