Beomaster 5500 + MCL2A problem

14 replies

Hello,

The serial of my BM5500 is 04849878, so I can't use it for Beolink with MCL2A ??

Or can I use it with the first version of it, the MCL2A type 2045 ?

I don't understand it very well, do I really have to change the 4IC4 ??

 

Thanks a lot for help!

Well you do acording to what the B&O manual for 1989 says.

If it works straight away I can't say but try it. I do not have a early BM5500 but you don't loose out testing it allready.  

If the test says it works great please tell us about it.

If not you will need the software update. Ask your B&O dealer if it still can be done. 

It was still early days I guess with the MCL system when the BM5500 came out. It got upgraded from MCL82/30 to work with BM5000/BC7700 etc. The MCL 2045 was finished while the BM5500 were out hence the later upgrade for MCL.

 

Hello,

Thank you for your quick response !!

I would like to test it, but I don't have already a MCL2A (type 2045) kit.

Before buying one, I would first to know if it works... .  :-)

What is precisely the difference between the 3 versions: 2045 - 2046 - 2047 ??

Regards, Bruno

As far as I can figure it out its software upgrades and minor flaws corrected. The latest 2047 is the X-tra speaker kit that came out around 1990.
