The FCC has released information about the table version

Have a nice day,

Hooray! Halo is an interesting name. + both Bluetooth and WiFi is promising..
A bit of Googling reveals that there is a "Table" and a "Wall" version.
Here are details of the Wall version:
TTU-HALOWALL
Sandyb:Think larger Essence wheelie

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
Might take (up to) 180 days before we know anything further.

There is a tv - and there is a BV

They’d better do a damn good job with that.....to cheer me up ;-)

That might be tough!
The prototype was a larger wheelie Essence remote form factor, with a small display.
Re the display, not the full inner of the circle as a screen, but a horizontal strip display, like the display on a BS 3500.
So I wouldn't expect pictures of album art etc to be accommodated by the display.
Still might be nice though, especially if backwards compatible to strong degree, including for those with Gateway type products.
But yes, I'd expect nothing soon though.

steve1977:AP cannot be controlled via non-IOS devices.
It can! Airplay speakers can send controls via airplay network from their own keypad or IR remote, including volume, play, pause, skip FF, skip BW.Itunes also broadcast the cover art over network so an appropriate device perhaps may be able to intercept and display it?
True, but thats the easy bit.
But will B&O build a remote interface that includes music browsing etc etc - I think Roon's interface can, but whether B&O can go that far, I highly doubt.

It would be fun (hmmmm!), if that remote was develloped and meant for controlling NL devices ;-)))

I visited the website and I found the non-disclosure date until August 2020. In that case, I assume they would launch the product around August or September.
From this post, It seems to resemble Beosound Essence but bigger. However, will it be equipped with a screen? Or no screen like the Essence?
If it enables us to control our music with that remote without depending on our smartphone, I am interested
Thank you!

Really? Could you send me a picture or a link or anything the prototype? I'd love to see it.I am new in this forum. Could you tell me what's the meaning of NL or ML? Does ML stand for Masterlink? and What does NL stand for?
Pretty much expected for that. My aunt lives in Amsterdam and she said that the situation over there was awful. The same also applies in Indonesia. I believe there would be a delay, but not so severe like a cancellation of some world-class events such as Geneva International Motor Show.

Not a full circular touch screen big display. That was the prototype at least. As for music control, who knows. But the decision to remove NL was made before and first - so the prototype would have been designed with knowledge of this. Again, I'd expect it to be more limited in its scope that some might be hoping for. And given the shutdown of parts of Europe, I would expect a delay.

What if is made to do both - there are still lots of NL devices out here and only one non-NL....
....after all it seems to have both wifi and bluetooth capacities.
I just wonder what it will be able to control with a CC/AP2-only device like the Balance.
There is no doubt, that there will be some kind of delay - however, if is meant to be launched in the fall, that won’t be noticeable......hopefully.

It will do both of course.
But as I mentioned earlier, it may be that the NL control is a bit secondary in the UI.
Anyway, doesnt really change the issue of NL being removed from future devices.
Which, much as though I'd warned of this likelihood, doesn't fill me with any pleasure at all.

From what we could see last year, the Halo screen looks small compared to the ring around it, much like a BS 35 screen, and it does not even occupy the whole space of the support.
A B&O Official said, that the Beoremote Halo is supposed to be presented in April and is not due for delay. Interesting

Maybe this means presented for approval? i can't imagine too much new stuff coming out over the next few weeks - retail is decimated at the moment.
I am aware that was the original plan but was changed a while back because of product reasons. also the patent secrecy thing expires on the 18th of august iirc and I don't think they can keep the patent secret while already selling it so late august/september at the earliest.

I'm happily looking forward to a new B&O remote and hope it's again something special from Bang & Olufsen.... but hopefully without any "Kvadrat" wool
Wishlist: Bluetooth / WLAN / Infrared commands mixed together without any switching between modes.
Based on some pictures on fccid.io website, It seems that it is a product without Kvadrat wool, it is a product with aluminium materialIt is a circular metal, like the essence but with a screen.The picture is not so clear, but if you are interested, you can search on google with this keyword "fccid.io Beoremote Halo"
Thank you for the hints. Let's hope Bang & Olufsen gains attention and many customers with it!
Yes! Tbh I have an interest in this new remote. I hope it doesn’t disappoint and if the pricing is right and the specs are great, surely it will attract lots of B&O users!
But we can see the design now,
And some of us have seen it in the leaked video long ago,
But what is the function anyone who knows?

It is better for me to know the design earlier. Because I hate guessing and having this.... unease feeling “What’s it going to look like?”
It is the design that we can see, it does not tell exactly the specifications and the pricing yet. Thus, I still wait for the full introduction, although I saw some of the pictures
