Hello everyone.
I have a question about the Beo Converter NL/ML device. Does this device enable the BeoCenter 9500 (Type2506) controlled by the applications alone or with an additional MasterLink / PowerLink converter? I know that it is possible to control the Beo9000 CD and Beo 3000 model. However, I love the 9500 model and I would like to make it. To sum up, whether I would see a source of source, e.g. CD 9500, radio 9500 etc, and could control it remotely through the Beo application.

Thanks any suggestions

You will need a Beolink converter type 1611 between the BC9500 and the Beolink NL/ML converter. The 1611 converter will translate between Masterlink and the datalink interface on the BC9500.

As for appearance in the app others might chime in, but I believe it will show up as the NL/ML converter

It will be something like this (this is my 6500 set and the converters).
Of cource depending on you setup in general!
In my case it is also linked to my V1 tv…..which is NL.



P.S.
Please don’t ask what ‘GeneralDown - GeneralUp’ means….I have no idea ?

N.B.
Using the converter only makes sense, if you have NL devices in the setup.

Thank you.
The problem, however, is that after connecting all these ingredients, nothing happens. In the application I can see, only CD and Lin In.

I can only send a signal to Line in and then I hear the sound, of course if the Speakers are connected to the Beo Converter ML/NL (V Master setting). By using the CD button in the application (I do not see others:  Radio, AUX, etc.), the Beo 9500 does not start. The application cannot be switched off by CD and Radio etc. The question is whether the error lies in the connections of individual ingredients or in the programming of Beo Converter. Or maybe programming Beo 9500, which may have to know that it is connected to Beo 1611?

You have mistakenly listed the inputs to a BL Active Type 1636 in your diagram. For your setup you want a BeoLink Converter 1611, the connections to which are as follows:
  • Mains power
  • Masterlink (connect to NL/ML converter)
  • Powerlink input (not used in your setup)
  • Audio Aux Link (AAL) - connect to the BC9500 TV/AUX socket with 7-pin DIN to DIN.
Your speakers should be connected to the BC9500's Powerlink Outputs.

Thank you.
Unfortunately, I do not understand what's going on with the "BL Active Type 1636" connection

1) Beo Converter Nl/Ml I can connect directly with a bad RJ45 using the PowerLink 7pin adapter from Beo 9500 to the Power Link input (Beo 9500 has only I/O powerlink have 7 pin, TV, AUX are 5pin), or
2) Beo Converter NL/Ml Star with the Beo1611 Master Link, then the 7pin PowerLink cable with the BEO 9500 wire to the Power Link input (Beo 9500 has only I/O PowerLink have 7 PIN, TV, AUX are 5pin).

Or maybe anyone knows the formum what setting should have beo converter nl/ml. It is possible that this side is a problem - programming. There are several options:
And Master
AV Master
V master
And slave
Source Center

Hi there,

the connections you are describing above are not correct. You can’t directly connect your BC9500 to the NL/ML converter - you must convert audio aux link to masterlink with a 1611 converter, then link the 1611 to the NL/ML converter via masterlink.

Guy has set out the correct connections you need. I’d only add that if you want the buttons on your BC9500 to turn on the speakers then the powerlink connection is needed (otherwise you’d have to operate it from the app).

this is the way my system is set up (although I’m using a beomaster 7000, but the principle lid the same)

with best wishes

Bart,

May I suggest you to check the Beolink Handbooks which are available on the right side of the screen?

Guy gave you the correct connexion scheme. Some precisions:

Powerlink sockets are for speakers only.

You need 7 pins DIN cables and not 5 pins ones (the 2 additional pins are used to send the command signals from one unit to another). 9500 and 1611 are equipped with 7 pins  sockets.

NL/ML Converter: If I well understand, the NL/ML converter is used to control the 9500 through the App and no speakers are connected to the unit. Do you plan to use it as an input for NL sources to the 9500?

Beolink Active: This product's purpose is to create a link room and you need in addition speakers, an IR Eye and a remote control. So AFAIK this product doesn't answer to your needs.

Yann.

Connections:
BC9500 - PL + AAL - Beolink T1611 - Masterlink - BLC

BLC Setup: No speakers connected to BLC
Configuration -setting -ML role: ASlave
Configuration -experience mapped to NL: check the boxes Radio, CD, Atape (note: you can rename to f.e. (9500Radio, 9500CD...)

B&o App:
add the BLC

What I'm missing in the above setting is a NL device and I do not see one in the described system!

So alternative: no additional NL device:

Connections:
BC9500 - PL + AAL - Beolink T1611 - Masterlink - BLC

BLC Setup: speakers CONNECTED to BLC
Configuration -setting -ML role: VMaster
Configuration -experience mapped to NL: check the boxes Radio, CD, Atape (note: you can rename to f.e. (9500Radio, 9500CD...)
