New very nice looking gimmick from B&O called "Essence" :)http://www.bang-olufsen.com/de/beosound-essence
Connected via Bluetooth LE to a controller box. I really like it.

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.

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.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
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.
