4. CONNECTING BEOSOUND ESSENCE TO AN EXISTING BANG & OLUFSEN AUDIO SYSTEM (B)
–
Motivation: Customer already has an audio “master” and would like to use BeoSound
Essence as a way to enable music from mobile devices, to existing system. Wants the
remote to be more useful for one touch music access and volume control (than content
control. He will use App for that)
–
Solution:
–
Connect the BS Essence, via line-in, to the existing audio system
–
Set BeoSound
Essence Remote to Beo4 IR mode (“RADIO”)
–
Equipment/Cables needed:
–
1 x RJ45 Power Link to 2 x Phono (male)
– 6271216
–
Advantages:
–
Customer can still use sources of existing system, and his existing remote control
(Beo4), for volume operation
–
Customer can use BS Essence remote for volume control, and previous/next tracks
on “old” sources only (CD, RADIO), but not on BS Essence sources
–
One-touch music start will always start FM RADIO, even from stand-by
–
Music silence??
–
Disadvantages:
–
BS Essence Remote cannot control the BeoSound Essence Sources (mobile device
needs to be used for that)
–
BS Essence needs to be put to stand-by via the App (in case of some sources)
–
Considerations/Notes:
–
Volume has to be set to “Fixed Output” on BeoSound Essence, via BeoSetup
application
–
The BS Essence Remote now communicates the audio master, via infrared, so it
needs proper line-of-sight with the product. Consider during installation / mounting.
