It’s a shame that B&O haven’t got a solution to receive NL (wired or wirelessly) – then output to a pair of passive speakers. Passive speakers – specially ones like Beovox 1 are relatively safe against humidity, so make ideal use for bathrooms.

—————

That is basicly what B&O does with the Shape. They put a BS Core, an amplifier and some passive speakers in a fancy package….just as an example.

As Guy already wrote:

“If you are happy to keep using the BeoLink Passive to drive your speakers then there is no need to change.There is no specific need to keep ML. Simply use the Beolink Passive’s PowerLink input and treat this as you would any other Active speaker. If you need separate control of the bathroom speakers, then add an NL source with a Powerlink output.“ The Passive is here only used as an amplifier - the ir-eye has no function here. You’d need a Beoremote One/BT to control the Essence/Core. That is…..you could install the ir-eye, that fits with the Essence/Core and this way control this with an ir-remote/Beo4 or locally.

I belive there used to be a servicemanual for the Beolink Passive in the manual library on Beoworld.

However there seems to be an issue accesing the product pages to check right now. I have made a post to Multicare about that issue.

If the manual is not shown in the library when it is active again try reaching out to Multicare and ask for the manual, as there is still a lot of manuals not uploaded to the library

I have just tried to direct message you with a copy - hope it works!

Hve you tried to measure the voltage where you have noted "on". There should only be voltage there if a Powerlink cable is connected and activated from at Beosystem

anybody who nows what the readings ( volts ) should be. maybe the microcomputer pcb 3 is faulty.

I have tried to open one of my passives and did some measurements to compare. One important thing to note.The button on the front is not and on/off button but an off button. If I activate the passive from a B&O musicsystem via Powerlink I can press the button and turn the Passive off, but I cannot turn it on again with the button. On the front of mine it is also named OFF.

that is the problem , with only 220v connecet , it is on , the power up is high on p200 pin 8 , and when i connect 5v to pin 1 on powerlink scoket , p200 pin 8 goes low

This is also how mine reacts, so this should be normal behavior, and also how I think it should work based on the schematic.
