Bought the Stage in Oak earlier this year, and it has superb sounds ranging from the deepest bass up through the treble. Music and dialogue always sound like they should. Highly recommended.

[@soundsheavenly]

Thanks, that is good to hear! It is a great speaker.

[@oliverpolden]

HDMI ARC has been around since 2009 and my old TV from around that time has it. Perhaps you’re talking about eARC but even that came out in 2017.

[@soundsheavenly]

Either HDMI ARC or eARC can be used here

[@iamghost17]

I like the design and its connectivity which both stopped me from buying the Sonos playbar til now. I will be happy to test-listen to it as soon as it gets available. Maybe I will even consider connecting my turntable to the soundbar. :-)

Hi! Great videos you have! I have a surround setup with beolab 5, beolab 3 and beolab 7-2. This is connected through an Almando surround processor to my Phillips tv. It works great, but I would be happy to have a processor from B&O instead. Just to make sure that sound is handled correctly all the way to my speakers. Do you know or guess that a product in that category will be available from B&O? I would be willing to replace the 7-2 with a sound bar as long as it had the necessary outputs for the other speakers.

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, thanks for your kind words! Yes, it would be great if B&O still made separate sound processors, but they stopped doing this a few years ago after Beosystem 4 was discontinued. Please feel free to get in touch via my website at soundsheavenly.com and I will be happy to discuss the options with you in more detail.

I hope Amazon offers this item. I have seen Amazon offer other new B & O products at a discount briefly in the beginning even though $1750 for this unit seems reasonable for B & O. I have owned a few products from B & O over the years and have been very impressed with there quality, functionality and style, very minimalist.

[@jasperordrup]

As I see this beautiful and high quality made sound bar, it will be a great product for your newer high end TV models as Samsung, LG or Philips. With the sound bar you get a lot of value for your money. I also prefer the cheapest version. The aluminum are made in one piece. No collections at all! B&O products are very heavy, because it's great quality!

[@MrKm1066]

We know can purchase the Aluminum & the Black Stage for other outlets other than B&O: Good for the public: I can see a price war on the horizon, wow!!!!

[@soundsheavenly]

The Stage is now arriving in stores, it will be interesting to see how the pricing works out via different outlets!

[@paulkhanna5665]

I replaced my Beolab 3500 with the SoundStage as a standalone, wall mounted speaker - using multiroom/Airplay. Maybe overkill, but I liked the upgraded connectivity, control from Phone App, and the sound. I probably should have just connected the 3500 to an airport express and got the same result (per your prior video). So now I will need to find a room to install the 3500 as a soundbar attached to a Television. Is there such a thing? DIN to RCA? Or only DIN to mini-jack?

[@soundsheavenly]

Thanks for your enquiry. Yes, I can help! The only way to connect the speaker directly to your TV is if the TV has a headphone socket fitted, as this is the only socket where the volume of the sound can be controlled. There are two versions of Beolab 3500 speaker, each version need a different cable. This link explains how to check which version you have:- soundsheavenly.com/airport-express/155-2345-ipodtvairport-express-to-beolab-3500-mk2-cable.html#/2-length-1m/63-beolab_3500_version-mark_2 If your TV doesn't have a headphone socket fitted, please let me know, as additional hardware may be needed. In this configuration, the TV will control the speaker volume, but a B&O remote control is needed to activate the speaker before use.

[@Puroplatino]

So if my Sony Oled has the arc (which I am not sure it does) and I use it for my sattelite then how would I use this?

[@soundsheavenly]

Any TV with HDMI ARC can connect directly to the Stage via the supplied HDMI cable

[@soundsheavenly]

Thanks for your kind words. I am sorry but Stage cannot be used as part of a surround system, due to the sound delay within the Stage. It should only be used as a stand-alone speaker, not with any other speakers.

Good question! These speakers will give VERY different results.....well worth trying them both to see which sound you prefer and which best fits your home layout. Stage wall mounts and has optical and HDMI connectivity, while Beolab 8000 will need some floor space and has analogue audio inputs only (although they can be set up for better stereo imaging if that is important to you) The choice is yours.....and I can help with cables for both options!

Surround setup with other (B&O) speakers is basically not possible, as you mention. But do you think it is possible to make a surround setup with this soundbar in combination with newer LG TVs with built-in Wisa? 🤔

[@soundsheavenly]

Yes, there should be options for adding Beosound Stage to existing surround sound systems, either directly with a TV, via an AV receiver or by adding a Beosound Core. More details to follow on my channel very soon.....

Sounds Heavenly hi is there anything new about how (is it possible) to connect this Stage in a surround setup? 🙂

@@Brunemark1 I hope to find out tomorrow (Friday) when I visit B&O Cambridge to test the Stage in store - video to follow shortly ;-)

[@Brunemark1]

Sounds Heavenly I’m look very much forward to that! I don't know if a solution could be to use an Almando Multiplay Surround Decoder - connected to the TV with HDMI ARC. And then connect Stage as the center channel - somehow via adapters - to either Line-in or HDMI-in on the Stage. And if you own an LG C9 TV too and connect an RJ45 / Ethernet cable from Stage (Ethernet output: TV) to the TV, will it still be possible to operate the TV with a Beoremote One BT? I'm guessing that only an Ethernet cable from Stage to the TV is needed to allows remote control via Beoremote?

[@soundsheavenly]

@@Brunemark1 You can control an LG C9 or Z9 panel with the BeoRemote One if you connect an Ethernet cable from the Stage to the TV as well as the HDMI cable. However, I don't think the suggestion with the Almando decoder would work, unfortunately.

[@cklit]

You probably shouldn’t ship those RCA cables just yet, since the input on the Stage is a 3.5mm stereo jack.

[@soundsheavenly]

Hmm, interesting! Thanks for the update - the early versions I saw had RCA inputs for analogue audio, but it is quite possible that this has changed! I make all combinations of cables anyway, so this won't be a problems, I will check the production version for the final connector types once this is ready ;-)

[@sammwangi7737]

Hello can you connect or ad a sub like the Sonos sub or any other brand sub if you wish? is the an option on the B&O Stage?

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, I am sorry but you cannot add any extra speakers or subwoofer to the Stage, this is a stand-alone speaker only. This is due to a sound delay within the Stage that cannot be removed, it would cause an echo if other speakers were to be connected.

[@donmarko33]

Hi Steve! I've hooked up my turntable (via my phono box of course) to the Stage. It sounded great. But it only worked for one listening session when I hooked it up. It seemed the only way to get the Stage to switch to the Line In was to plug in the 3.5mm cable. I now I have no idea how to switch back to the 3.5 input. I've tried having the speaker in standby and starting a record, and I've tried all three Line In sensitivity levels too. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, you should be able to select the Line input of the Stage either with a BeoRemote One BT remote control, on your phone using the B&O app, or manually on the Stage controls (I think from memory, you repeatedly press the Bluetooth or power button to cycle through the sources)

[@donmarko33]

@@soundsheavenly Thank you for the quick and thoughtful response! It worked only once again when i reattached the line in plug, however, after I turned on my tv, the audio source automatically switched back to HDMI as expected. And now I’m in the same spot: even after turning everything off and starting a record, the unit doesn’t automatically turn on and switch to line in. There doesn’t seem to be a way to manually select an input on the unit itself (I tried your suggestions but nothing worked). There also appears to be no way on the app to manually select an input/source... so I’m left to think the only way this could work is to purchase the remote, which is massive overkill. I’ve reached out to B&O support too but they seem to think it should “just work.” Also there’s no mention in the support documentation about using the line in input - only that it exists. Really appreciate your time (and passion for B&O!), Steve!

Bang & Olufsen is synonymous of innovative design. I regret the Beosound Stage's design, it is so conventional and classical. Nothing spectacular. The designer David Lewis is missing. The Price is competitive for a B&O's product but I wonder if low bass are present in this slim cabinet. BeoLabs 7 were so beautiful. Bang & Olufsen should propose the Beosound Stage with a black matt aluminium frame. I will not buy this product.

The design of the Stage is certainly subtle, but I can see classic (1980's era?) B&O styling in the frame of the black/aluminium version of the speaker. Not to all tastes, but I like it.

Steve Beocenters were drawn by straight lines to create simple and cubic shapes. Beosound Stage has a more sensual shape with rounded edges. The language of the designer is different.

Have you heard this sound bar for yourself? If not, then I recommend it, I think you will be more impressed 🤣

[@dilwyngurney5737]

I have one and very disappointed.

[@soundsheavenly]

I’m sorry to hear that. What are you disappointed about with it?

[@dilwyngurney5737]

@@soundsheavenly As a music system via Bluetooth off the phone excellent. As a sound bar to my TV it keeping going into pause so no sound.

Worth raising this with B&O via the support section of their website as this isn’t normal, these speakers usually work without any issues
