Active Room Compensation
Beosound A9 features Active Room Compensation. It is a feature optimizing the sound performance to the speaker’s placement in the room. It should run each time the speaker is moved, and it is accessed from the Bang & Olufsen app.
Software update
By default, Beosound A9 is set up for automatic software updates. Updates are carried out at night if the speaker is connected to the mains and the Internet. We recommend this setting to ensure that your speaker always has the latest features and improvements.
The setting can be changed in the Bang & Olufsen app.
