DIN (B&O POWERLINK)

Use this button to return to the main
page of the App.

Here you determine the number of
speakers when playing this source
(Downmix).

For the sound settings, you can raise
or lower the treble and bass, activate
or deactivate loudness.

Set the maximum volume level for this
specific source. Usually B&O devices
are  connected  to  this  input.  The
volume  can  be  controlled  with  the
B&O  remote  control  -  therefore  the
volume control with the Almando App
should not be activated here.

Delay / Lip Sync is set to 0 by default.
A change is unnecessary.

Usually a B&O device is connected to
this  input  (e.g.  BeoSound  9000,
BeoSound Overture, etc.). In that case
please  activate  "B&O  /  trigger
voltage".  However,  there  are  the
following  two  exceptions:  BeoSound
Essence and BeoSound Moment – for
these  audio  systems  we  recommend
to deactivate this function, the input is
then  operated  with  audio  signal
detection.
