@ beojeff

just some thoughts on your hypothetical system.

you cannot assigns two times the same ML command to different sources

there are a limited amount of ML sources to be programming in the BLC

to control 2 ML masters you must have a NL BV in between in my opinion; are 2 BLC a NL setup?

to connect the BS4500 to a BLC why not use a Beolink converter T1611.

Indeed, a Beolink Converter Type 1611 is what I was referencing -- used to connect ML and MCL. It's a bit confusing with the "new" converter also being called a Beolink Converter. What you said makes sense -- that you just do a source map on one BLC. Perhaps then, the 2nd BLC would just send that same source command as mapped on the NL side from the 1st BLC over to ML on the other side of the 2nd BLC. 

Can this works?

BV11-55 ------ NL/ML Conv -----BS9000 ------ BV6-26----- BV7-32

Can I use Beomusic app?

No you need Essence, Moment or Beoplay A9 to use the Beomusic app

But my Bv11 is a NL product!?
Sadly B&O did not yet release BeoMusic app support in the Avant or 11.

And I do not know if they ever will.

Says so on B&O site

 

Well, on the bottom of the B&O music app page it says you need at least one of

Moment

Essence

A9

To be able to use the music app.

So although the BVA or BV11 are NL products they do not act as a master for the music app.

The BeoMusic app requires one of the new audio products (BeoSound Moment, BeoSound Essence or BeoPlay A9) to be present in order to be activated.

The BeoMusic page shows the supported products, for the app to function: http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beomusic

If other NL products (e.g. BeoVision 11, BeoVision Avant) are in the system, they can be controlled as part of the multiroom offering, but to a more limited extend (e.g. you can distribute sound to them, but you cannot fully control their sources). However, the requirement is that one of the previously mentioned audio products is available, for the activation of the app.

This is done due to a combination of technical and commercial/licensing reasons. I hope this clarifies.
