@BeoMatthews
We’ll see - I myself am confident, that the existing NL products will keep on working as NL.
It’s the future portefolio I am worried about.
I don’t think hat we will hear anything new from John O’Manchester.
Firstly his lips are sealed and secondly he seems quite content with having to sell ‘only’ AP2/CC products in the future.
P.S. Which ‘next hight-margin product’ were you thinking about?

There is a tv - and there is a BV
BeoMatthew: But I think the rumors of the death of BeoLink have been greatly exaggerated. Take another possibility (totally hypothetical of course!) that a cash strapped company can release their next high-margin product ahead of some of the firmware that makes it a complete product, but require the capital from the sales to help do so. Surely a first for a technology company!

It's sitting there for the past 3 weeks... Shoved through the door by a dealer. The ones I speak haven't sold one yet.
This one has only been released for a few minutes starting first with a software-update. I'm thrilled to hear the Balance inside the house but hardly heard it as the wife's comments were merciless. "We don't need another expensive speaker and certainly not one that looks like a lamp. Just send it back.."
So, I'm standing on a crossroad of doubt. I surely can't convince her when I tell her about the lack of remote control we now have with the BS1.
how can they be exaggerated when dealers have been told that future products will not include NL?
And that they are operating to a new streaming platform - which almost certainly means just AP/CC.
Will they support NL going forward for quiet a few years? Yes, but thats a different question.
BeoMatthew: Millemissen: BeoMatthew: I wouldn't worry about the future of BeoLink Multiroom. Glad to hear that you are somsure about that. In a former post you wrote (in a different matter): ‘from my many years on the inside’ - so you seem to have some insights? I am afraid though, that some people in the forum want to hear that directly from the company. MM I've urged as much, but I'm on the outside now. Maybe our friend from Manchester will be authorized to say more (-; But I think the rumors of the death of BeoLink have been greatly exaggerated.

Glad you all enjoyed and it was nice to bring some positive news. John
Just finished the video - had to wait untill my wife had gone to bed.
She is an early riser.....I am a nightowl.
Thanks for your Q&A podcast - I enjoy really enjoyed it and am looking forward to more stuff from you.
And a big thanks for being the first to bring good news about BS Balance and future B&O - we really needed that.
Very exciting indeed and for me kind of a relief!
For those of the readers, who did not watch the podcast (yet), here it is:
That is indeed good news ! The shares can go up again now ;-)

BS Moment, BS Core, BG 4002, BC 4500, BS1, BL18, BL19, BL8000 + RCV1, A6, M5, M3, A1, P6 (tks Botty), H5, TR1
Their share prices will go up if they can take market share away from other premium wireless and multi room speaker vendors. I feel their recent products have been very good!
B&O in my life 😊:
Fantastic news that Beolink Multiroom will be coming to the Balance! The performance is still miles ahead of CC and AP2, and the touch-to-join is fantastic. And since I have a couple of Beosound Moments that don't support CC or AP2 it appears that I'll be able to continue to expand my collection. (Though it's the Stage, not the balance, that I'm currently eyeing.)
Now waiting on the Halo remote.
:)
