New very nice looking gimmick from B&O called "Essence" :)

Connected via Bluetooth LE to a controller box. I really like it.

Where does the Iport tablet go?

Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.

The iPort is a 'built-into-the-wall' iPad mount.

Looks nice in white on a white wall - but I would choose something else for wall mounting.

Like this one: http://www.tablet2cases.com/news/cases/2013/07/rndm-design-puts-tablet-pcs-on-the-walls-with-the-ledge-mount/

The Essence supports 3 'knobs' - buy 3 'The Ledge' and place them with the 'knobs'.

This way you will always have a nice resting place for your iPad in the right place.

I wonder if there's a way to make this new Beosound Essence work with an existing Masterlink system? I see there are Powerlink sockets for driving two B&O speakers. Could those sockets be used to connect to an NL-to-ML converter? Any other possibilities?

I would suppose: yes!

And I suppose you can connect it to an A.AUX-in of an audiomaster - just like with the Playmaker.

But that won't be part of the official launching of the Essence.
