After a bit of search, what I can say is that it can be installed on a wall bracket and that has a 4:3 rectangle shape (from the thumbnail of a vimeo "wallbracket installation" removed from Vimeo 4 hours ago!), so it shouldn't be a sound bar but an audio product.

Here is the thumbnail... It can be anything, even a revamped Beolit 15
Maybe they named it literally, and it's an actual carpenter's level for setting up a beogram
Nice! Can't wait to see it.
I'm thinking how interesting this would be if it had the physical slide-rule as a nod to those classic products.
Just found this while googling...

Saw the level today, got me thinking of beosystem 10 with a beovox fret as in photo in above post.
Styling not to my taste, but sound and feature wise promising
Any retail price idea?
And is it battery powered?
It seems to be portable with a battery.
A very cool new product!
PS : Benoit, you have a PM
The big question here is - is this ‘just’ a bluetooth speaker....or has it some kind of support for networking/NL link?
(My guess is, it is the first...)

The rumors I hear is that it will include functionality like Balance, and over time be able to act as a regular speaker.

Sandyb:Over time.... Can mean over a very long time in B&O land How long has the Balance been waiting for NL or some equivalent?

The Balance accepts DLNA streaming (best way to try is the Brio app from Orastream)
Price potentially acquired.

“Cena bez DPH” = Price without VAT. This is for Part Number “1200497” with the wood, so presumably the fabric version will be cheaper?
35 247.27 CZK to USD = 1,642 USD.
Not too bad I say!

I’ll still have to see it/learn more about it, before I believe, that it is more than a BT speaker.
However, if it is - that could be interesting!
And then maybe the update of the Balance was kept waiting, untill it has become a ‘mate’ to play with.
This talking of a ‘new platform’ still is very mysterious.
Based on the pictures... I'm all in! Very nice... Curious to the specifications!

C'mon guys, learn your product history:
It's a wooden Networklink Passive!

Carolpa: The Balance accepts DLNA streaming (best way to try is the Brio app from Orastream)
steve1977: Carolpa:The Balance accepts DLNA streaming (best way to try is the Brio app from Orastream) Interesting to see orastream. Is it in fact a dlna server that is compatible with the b&o app? Is the brio app free as long as i only use it in home network? What’s your overall experience with it vs plex?

My main experience is DLNA streaming to the Balance, the Neil Young Archive and the HDtracks.com apps (which both use Orastream)
Note: you can also DLNA stream to the Core, the Essence mkII, the A6, A9, Harmony, Eclipse, BS35, the M3 and M5, the Moment. DLNA stream to one B&o device and multiroom the experiento to the other B&o devices (until now I didn't find a way to combine the Balance with the other devices though).
Brio itself isn't a DLNA server. It can index collections from the local HDD's and the Brio Cloud. What makes it differentiate from the rest is the way it can switch formats from MP3 to Hires depending on the bandwith available for your player. For example you listen to 24b 192kHz at home and to 16b 44,1kHz when mobile for the same song in the Brio cloud.
And now back to the original topic?

B&O product history since 1991: Ridiculously long to list in a signature.
Some people speak about February 4th or 6th...
The Balance always had mate to play with.....i.e. another Balance.
The upcoming Level is no excuse for the slow progress in restoring NL-type functionality to the Balance.
Otherwise, I agree - talk of a new platform is indeed very mysterious.
Allowing one point speaker systems to be used with BVs (or a Stage type product) would indeed be a good development though, no doubt.

It can do more than Bluetooth. It’s WiFi compatible with multiroom.

So - tell us more, then....
It will be launched at the 4th February - at least what I’ve heard. Think it has two bass elements. Guess the price will be around 1500 euro.
