I want to get rid of cabling to Beolab 20 (only use a power cable and no audio cables), but can only find Beosound Moment having the capability to use the WISA wireless. Another possibility is the Core, but this will require cabling to the speakers - then I would need to add the Transmitter, where I can also hook up my Samsung QLED TV.
Any other possibilities? I find it strange that the Beloab 20 are wireless, but so few music products supports dire4ct wireless streaming to them…?

BS Moment, BS Core, BG 4002, BC 4500, BS1, BL18, BL19, BL8000 + RCV1, A6, M5, M3, A1, P6 (tks Botty), H5, TR1
Thanks - looks like a good setup. I didn't think of having the Moment as well as Core+TR1, but that would also be a nice solution as I'm kinda missing seeing my CD covers ;)
… and using optical cable from Core to Transmitter, but the Samsung has optical output as well?

"You think we can slap some oak on this thing?"
Thanks - have made exactly that setup and works perfectly - only missing my opticla minipug, which I should get today! :)
… yes, thought about this as well, but thought I for once should be loyal to the Danish brand ;)
Hi Peter
i also bought a set of Beolab 20 and a Beosound Core and thought I could og truely wireless, but alas still needed the powerlink cables.
I have now bought a Chromecast Audio, but have not yet Got it to work with the Beolab 20. Did you get it to work and if so how?

Hej Bo,
The CCA does not care for/depend on the speakers used in the setup.
You’d connect it to the Core!
But......the Core has already ChromeCast built-in - you don’t need the extra device.
Just open the app, that you want to use and click the Cast icon to choose your Core.
If correct set up, you don’t need anything/to do anything else - the speakers will turn on when the Core receives a sound signal.
P.S. Save/keep your CCA device for another setup sometime....these small devices are discontinoued and are getting rare.
N.B. In case you have tried to connect the CCA directly to the BL20’s.....I would not recomment that.
You’d need cables there anyway.
The Core gives you all that you’d need for wireless connection from your phone/tablet/laptop.
If you don’t want the PL cables to the BL20’s, the only option will be the Transmitter 1.
P.P.S. If you don’t already have a BeoRemote One - I would highly recommend it for controlling the built-in sources of the Core (e.g. Netradio) and for volume controlling.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
If you have uploaded your CDs to the Cloud (Apple Music) you can use an iPad and connect to the Core using AirPlay 2 and still have access to the covers. Might be a little more cost effective, but the Moment looks beautiful.
B&O in my life 😊:
Thanks - I ender up buying a transmitter. But now I Seem to experience a volume decrease when not using PL cables but only wisa. Has anyone else experience this?
