Expanding my BL8000 + Core setup to a 5.1 setup

Right now I have an BL8000 connected to a Core. This works great for music but now I want them to use for my TV audio too and is it possible to make a 5.1 setup with another pair of BL8000 and other?

 

Thanks in advance!

I am sure, that you - with 5.1 - mean a speaker setup consisting of front, center, subwoofer and surround channels.

For this you’ll need some kind of multi channel processing - as you find that in common A/V receivers or already built-in to the Bang & Olufsen tv’s.

You can not make that happen with just the BS Core alone - however, you can integrate the BS Core with the newer B&O-tv and choose the front speakers (e.g. your BL8000) there as the speakers for only-audio/music.

I did answer, but my post went into moderation - for whatever reason ;-(

Please be patient....or maybe someone else will answer your question.

In short, you can ad more speaker but will not get surround sound as the core doesn’t support that. The core does 2.1 or any multiplication of that, but stereo only.

Depending on who you ask, it may still be a good addition for tv. I always liked the speaker 4 setting of old beovisions, some others didn’t.

I can see this comment though! Would love to see your answer :)
