In  the  digital  world  of  entertainment  electronics,  there  are  high-quality  devices, 
technologically  sophisticated  devices,  devices  with  good  design  and  easy-to-use 
devices. And there are a few devices that combine all this in order to meet the needs 
of  their  users  -  like  devices  from  almando  GmbH.  For  this,  we  are  taking  new  and 
unconventional paths and can rely on many years of experience. 

We congratulate you on buying the almando Multiplay Stereo / Powerlink-Switch. The 
unit is 100% B&O compatible. All active speakers from Bang & Olufsen Lautsprecher 
with Powerlink input can be connected – even BeoLab 5! 

Various devices from Bang & Olufsen and from other manufacturers can be connected 
to the inputs. The almando Multiplay Stereo / Powerlink-Switch automatically detects 
whether  one  of  the  connected  sources  is  playing  and  automatically  activates  the 
speakers. Once several sources are active simultaneously, an intelligent priority circuit 
ensures that only the source with the highest priority can be heard. 

In order to activate and operate your connected device, you only need a single remote 
control - the almando Multiplay Stereo / Powerlink-Switch does the rest automatically. 

The  almando  Multiplay  Stereo  and  the  almando  Powerlink-Switch  has  a  high-quality 
aptX  Bluetooth  module  integrated.  This  allows  you  to  play  the  music  from  your 
smartphone  or  tablet  (iOS  and  Android)  wirelessly  -  the  speakers  switch  on 
automatically. The almando Multiplay Surround Switch can also be configured and put 
into operation with a free App.
