Beolink Converter NL/ML

27 replies
the only source that worked came from the Beosystem 4 – but I di get NETRADIO coming through the speaker.
this depends on the sources set on the BLC (Experience mapped to NL") and the "Connected to (primary)" set in the BLC   
That was it! The bonus is that an old MCL2P that I bought 28 years ago also works in this setup - so I'll be using that as the amplifier.

With regard to the sources, here is my setup; the original BLC is called 1 Ways End and the new one is called Casa papules II.

And here are my ..experiences mapped to NL pages

 

 

By the way, Thanks! I appreciate the help - and have connected an IR Eye up to the second BLC as you suggested.
advice:

In "Experience mapped to NL" one can rename the available sources. Especial if you have more BLC's with different sources this can be helpful to identify f.e. one CD player from the other,

I renamed the sources connected to my BS9000 BLC as cd9000, radio9000 and aux9000, the sources connected to my BS7000 BLC as Beogram 6000, cd7000, tape7000..............etc.
Yes, that was it. I unchecked all the experience mapped to NL items in the second BLC - as there aren’t any - and it found the correct devices!

 

thanks again.

 
Hello Carolpa,
sorry for jumping in, but I have just bought a Beolink Converter NL/ML and would like to connect my Beolab 8000 Speakers to it. I've read in your comment that you connected them to test your setup. Could you please advice how to connect them to the Beolink Converter NL/ML?
Thank you very much,
Stefan

Hi Stefan, You need a RJ45 to Powerlink compatible clip-on adapter to connect your BL8000 to the BLC.. Note: the first BLC's didn't show some connectors; f.e. the PL and AUX connections. But they were available behind some removable plactics. see: 
Thank you very much. I have ordered one of them.

Most probably I will come back with more questions. I have an old fashion Master Link only system with Beolab 8000, some Beolab 3500 steered by Beosound 5/Beomaster 5. Recently the Beomaster 5 became unreliable and I had to reboot it very often. Because of that I would like to replace it with the Beolink ML/NL. I hope I can connect my Apple Airport Express and use it as the Music Source (from iPhone or iPad) and also my Synology NAS.

Thank you very much, Madskp.

Yes, it looks much easier to find an Beolink Converter type 1611 than a ML powerbox (at least here in Switzerland).

If I understand you correctly, I would connect the Beolink Converter type 1611 with a Masterlink cable to the NL/ML converter. But how to connect the NL/ML converter to the rest of my Masterlink setup (3 Beolab 3500)? There is only one Masterlink socket on the NL/ML converter.
