Introduction

BeoLab Transmitter 1 is a stand-alone box, that enables existing music systems and TVs to connect wirelessly - within one room - to any Bang & 
Olufsen wireless speaker and BeoLab Receiver 1.

BeoLab Transmitter 1 works in the wireless 5 GHz U-NII band frequency spectrum. It is compliant with and will only work with all new Bang & 
Olufsen WiSA approved speakers and speakers connected to the BeoLab Receiver 1.

The WiSA technology offers multi-channel wireless sound performance for full surround sound setup. The benefits for the Bang & Olufsen 

customer are:
- Eliminates cable clutter.

- Offers complete flexibility when decorating your room.

- Is an easy add-on to an existing wired setup.
- Delivers high-quality wireless surround sound.
- Offers easy 3

 party integration: mix and match your favourite audio and video components.

The BeoLab Transmitter 1 has four RJ45 inputs with Power Link / Line-in connection which have both a left and right sound channel. This means 
you can connect as much as 8 sound channels as input of which one can be a subwoofer in the room. In addition there is an optical stereo 
TOSLINK 

TM

 input (S/P-DIF) and two RCA (Line-in) for connection stereo sound channels of an audio system.  

Despite this the wireless technology used makes it possible to configure up to 11 wireless speakers to the sound channels as desired. One scenario 

may be a 7.4 setup.  
One switch is used to shift between a Bang & Olufsen Power Link signal in and a line-in signal from a 3

rd

 party product (B&O INPUT YES/NO).  

Another switch is used for providing either a pure stereo output in two sound channels only (SUB 2.1 set to OFF) or providing the two stereo sound 

channels plus a third sound channel provided by the built in bass management function for the configuration of a wireless subwoofer (SUB 2.1 set 

to ON).

Active sources are prioritised in the following order: 1) POWER LINK; 2) TOSLINK; 3) Line-in (via RCA connectors or RJ45 connector).

With the BeoLab Transmitter 1 comes a cable cover for optimised cable management. The BeoLab Transmitter 1 is clicked onto the cable cover and 
can be mounted on the wall with the cables directed either up/down or sideways in any direction that is convenient for an elegant installation. The 
cable cover becomes an inherent part of the BeoLab Transmitter 1 and lets the solution stand out as one entity.

In a stereo setup, the speakers and the subwoofer must be connected wirelessly. 
In a surround sound setup, you can combine wired and wireless speakers as you like. 
When the BeoLab 19 has wireless connection the LP FILTER switch is set to OFF. This ensures that the BeoLab 19 emits the frequency pattern sent 

to the speaker and also makes the noise pattern audible when configuring the speaker setup.
