Connect to any TV with HDMI ARC or eARC. Grundig, Hisense, LG, Loewe, Metz, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, TechniSat, Telefunken, Toshiba, etc. etc.

Center Speaker for SoundCenter Surround
You can connect a soundbar with HDMI ARC/eARC and use it as a center speaker, for example, a Beosound Stage or Sonos ARC soundbar along with a TV. As a clever feature, you can use your BeoVision Contour TV's built-in speaker as the center speaker and connect more B&O Beolab speakers to the TV via the Almando SoundCenter to achieve a larger soundscape and surround.

Motor Control with B&O Motorized TV Stand
Connect and control a selection of B&O TV stands with the Almando SoundCenter Surround box. Please note that an adapter cable is NOT included as standard! Adapter cables for the various motor stands will be created over time, so you can purchase what you need to operate your stand.

B&O Multiroom System:
To achieve and connect a B&O multiroom system with Beosound connected speakers to this Almando solution, you need to add a BeoSound Core to the Almando box.

Sonos Arc as Center Speaker:
A Sonos Port must be connected to the SoundCenter for this purpose. The Sonos ARC speaker cannot be used as the source for the complete surround setup when it is connected to the Almando box.

Which speakers are NOT SUPPORTED:
Bang & Olufsen Masterlink speakers cannot be connected directly to Almando SoundCenter Surround.
Which contains:
• Beolab 2000
• Beolab 3500
• LCS 9000

However, these speakers can be connected via an Almando MasterPlay converter.
This is connected to the Powerlink output of the Almando SoundCenter Surround and converts the Powerlink signal to a Masterlink signal and at the same time turns on the Masterlink speaker automatically.
