Beolink Converter NL/ML to Beolink Passive

24 replies
In this setup there is no Master. You need an ML powerbox to make the Masterlink work. Or connect your BV8 with an ML cable and put it in V.OPT2.

Then put the ML/NL in Audio Master

Hi Philip, no need for a powerbox if he uses the BLC as an active kit (optional with the BV8 in A.Master), or...?

 

I am posting my screen shots later - maybe I need a powerbox if I will connect my beolink passive together with my beovision8? In a masterlink junktion box?

But let's first of all stick to the plan of getting the sound in my beovision 8. Screen shots later! :)

I think I need the power box - please see this:

I am a bit confused right now. But what I think would be best, is if make a new thread with my complete setup; with a drawing of my setup in all rooms and screen shot of all the menus on the ipad.

I am very glad that you have helped me so far, I convinced me that is it possible to combine my old and good masterlink with network link. :) :)

Note, you must use a fully wired mk2 PowerLink to connect from the BLC to the Passive (and this contradicts some of the B&O documentation).  My dealer originally sold me the wrong cable to connect my Essence to a Passive (because whatever documentation they were looking at said this was correct).  It isn't.

From a part number perspective, P/N 6270017 is not wired to work with a Passive.  The RJ45/DIN cables that work with the passive are 6271125 (5 m) and 6271126 (10 m)... and Sounds Heavenly has some cables like this, too.
