Hello,
As I ordered a Beoplay A6 (with 15% off, but it will only land in 1 month) I'm thinking now of an Essence remote to go with it. Can anyone tell me if the remote (which connects via Bluetooth) will work with the A6 if I stream music via Bluetooth or do I have to use Airplay / WiFi?
2nd question : can the table version of the remote be wall mounted if I change my mind later?
Thank you for the advises.

A:I cannot see why not.
I'm asking because both the remote and the streaming use bluetooth at the same time
Can the wall version be used not mounted on a wall or will it look strange and bulky?
Q1: Yes, the Essence Remote can be used over Bluetooth at the same time while you stream over Bluetooth or via WiFi/Airplay. Operation is not affected at all by the streaming
Q2: The table remote is not really meant to be used on the wall, but yes, technically it is possible. You will need to unscrew from the aluminium plate the small circular plastic base (that seats invisibly between the alu plate and the remote). That circular plastic base is essentially the wall mount. So, you can then put it on the wall. However, the table remote does not have the "Bang & Olufsen" logo on itself, so once on the wall it will not have any logo...
Thanks a lot!
Looks like your questions have been answered, but thought this might help you also.
