Hello everyone,

First time posting here.

I currently have a Beosound Moment connected to a Beoplay A9 (Gen 1) via a RJ45 to RCA cable. Both the A9 and the Moment are in the living room.

I also have a Beoplay A8 (not sure which gen - it has a Apple lightning dock connector), in the kitchen and would somehow like to connect the B&O Moment to both speakers wirelessly via Multiroom. My understanding is none of the speakers have Multiroom built in.

Is there a way I could retrofit Multiroom feature to both speakers?

Can someone kindly advise please.
Thanks

Only way I see, is to have an Essence MK2 or a Core connected to the line-in of the A8.

The Beolink Converter NL/ML is a bridge between the networklinked products and a masterlinked product in a Beolink setup.
However - if you connect (active) speakers to it - it can also be used ‘on it’s own’….this way giving access to the networked devices in the setup.

I’d say that this is way to complicated for someone, who is not familiar with Beolink etc.

Therefore my preference would be the BS Essence MK2 or the BS Core.

The cost of the Core it better just to get a whole new B&O product like a Level for not that much money especially if you sell your A8. The Level will sound better and portable too.
