Almando Multiplay Surround Switch III (Black Edition)
 
The Ultimate Intelligent Hub for Your Bang & Olufsen System
The Almando Multiplay Surround Switch III is the definitive solution for B&O enthusiasts who want to bridge the gap between classic Bang & Olufsen excellence and modern digital convenience. This "smart" switch acts as the central brain of your setup, allowing you to connect up to four different audio sources to your BeoLab speakers—automatically and seamlessly.
 
Whether you are integrating a modern TV, a Sonos Port, or streaming directly via Bluetooth, the Multiplay Surround Switch III ensures your speakers wake up and play exactly when they should, with no extra remotes required.
 
Key Features & Modern Integration
100% B&O Compatible: Designed specifically for the Bang & Olufsen ecosystem. It provides the necessary trigger voltage to activate BeoLab speakers (including the complex BeoLab 5) without needing a B&O remote.
Intelligent Auto-Switching: The device detects which source is playing and automatically switches to that input. It features a priority circuit, ensuring your primary source (like your TV) always takes precedence.
Integrated Bluetooth: Stream high-quality music directly from your smartphone or tablet (iOS/Android). Access Spotify, Tidal, or Internet Radio with ease.
Designed for Sonos & Apple: Fully optimized for Sonos Port/Connect and Apple AirPlay. Control the volume directly through the Sonos or Apple app—the Almando handles the rest.
Almando Control App: Configure your entire setup, set volume offsets, and manage inputs directly from your phone with the free Almando app.
