Good day all,

Have just solved some issues in my masterlink setup thanks to the forums kind assistance. I'm now trying to make a blc nl/ml setup. At first i fired up all the products which I realized made everything very immense. So I've scaled it down and intend to add one thing after the other.

However I don't seem to get over the first hurdle and the very simplest setup; I have only the BLC as a slave with speakers (BL 8000) and BM5 as audiomaster, still don't get any sound. The speakers are activated, the app seems to stream N.MUSIC and N.RADIO but there is no sound. Have shifted the BM5 between option 1 and 0.

Also regarding my first issues with the masterlink setup, I've realised I need to make a second setup, with a second BLC most likely adding a ML power box, a discontinued product that seems very rare. Any idea where one could find one?

 

Any suggestions much appreciated?

Baaz

Hi again,

So our kind member ebnrob gave me some suggestions in my last masterlink thread about a BLC setup as videomaster and it worked!

Could have been as simple as a reboot, anyway finally a working setup from where I can continue.

I'm still curious if someone knows where one could find a ML power box.

another thing I noticed when connecting my BL8000 to the BLC, the PL output seems much better than the BM5. I thought my speakers were half dead but now they're back alive again🙂 It seems like the BM5 have lost some of it's power, how that could be possible beats me. But as an advise; if You think Your speakers are getting tired first try a different source.

Beouser66,

 

that is great news. That was what the closest dealer advised. Having said that there seem to be some confusion with information as b&o is changing the whole distribution and service net here in Sweden.

 

Thanks again

Hi again.

 

only wanted to confirm, as Beouser66 pointed out, that the ML power box is not discontinued.

Checked with the official b&o store i Gothenburg and have now ordered one, it's about eur 100.
