Hi
I know that it’s not possible to have the Stage Soundbar as Center speaker in a normal 5.1 setup.
But do somebody know ifs possible with using the Almando surround Decoder in a LG C3 5.1 setup?
thanks

Beosound Stage as center speaker in a 5.1 Setup

That is not possible - unless you’d use the line-in connection of the Stage.
But it would make no sense - too fiddly and totally run contrary to the purpose of the Stage.
Why not just choose a Beolab center speaker such as the 7-4 or one of the 7-x line?
That would give you a powerfull center speaker with the Almando.
If you are after the smart audio functions of the Stage, connecting a Core to the Almando would be the better choice.

Hi,
I am sorry but the Stage cannot be used with any other speakers, this is due to a sound delay in the Stage that cannot be removed. This would cause the Stage to echo after the other speakers have sounded.
Stage is a stand alone speaker only, there is no option to use it with any other speakers.
Kind regards Steve.

Ok. Will it then be possible to connect an soundbar of another brand (LG?) to a Almando decoder. I find the Beolab 7 very big? I’m not sure because the Almando har RJ45 sound output and the most non B&O has not that possibility ?
RJ45 is just a connector type - important is that it is a PowerLink connection.
There are lots of adapters/cables for RJ45 <-> DIN.
So that should not be a problem.
You can also use a single Beolab speaker - for example a BL4000.

The new Almando can use the Stage as Center speaker. Anybody has experience with this New Receiver?
As i see Almando says that it is possible to connect stage as center speaker, has anybody tested this option? maybe it is a good option with beolabs 8000 to make a 5.1 system, please tell us reports, thanks
