Beosound 9000 Mk3 + BLC ML/NL = multiroom

25 replies

Hi guys, finally managed to get both Beosound 9000 Mk3 and the BLC ML/NL in order to add BS 9000 as a CD source to my multiroom setup. Connection-wise, it's gonna be extremely simple: BS9000 connected just with MasterLink cable to the BLC ML/NL, and then BLC ML/NL connected with LAN UTP cable to my router.

After reading BLC ML/NL manual numerous times, and endless research here on the forum, I still couldn't find how should I set up the BLC ML/NL in order to be able to select the BS9000 in the B&O app and play CDs on multiroom speaker(s).

I acknowledge it should be fairly simple, but as I joined the B&O world only in "NL times", I have troubles understanding the "ML logic" in terms of sources, master/slave choice etc. If it is not too difficult to share a hint about how the setup of BLC ML/NL should look like I would be so very grateful. πŸ™‚

Thank you, will try that tomorrow! And btw: no speakers will be connected to neither BS9000 nor BLC… …I do have Beoplay A9 and Beosound Stage on NL that I plan to use as speakers. πŸ˜•

I have a Beosound 3000 with no connected speakers, ML and NL TVs ML active kit, and NL speakers.

I have the MasterLink role set as Source Center in the converter settings.

Under Sources Visible on NL I have N Radio and N Music assigned to Essence Tune In and Essence Music. Under Experience Mapped to NL I have CD set to use the name CD and checked enabled.

No speakers connected to converter.

An added complication is that you bs9000 will be in A.Opt 0 with no speakers connected so you may need an it eye for your blc? I believe there is a dummy plug available to fool the bs9000 into thinking speakers are connected 

Hi, in my view there is no need for an extra IR eye. The CD source of the BS9000 will be made available in the NL system (experience mapped to NL) by the BLC, and CD related commands sent to the A9 or Stage will be translated to control the BS9000 by the BLC.

I would say that when you set the BLC to be an Audio Slave, you only map CD as an experience to NL. See page 14 of the BeoLink Converter NLML (ver 1.4) manual.

I do a similar thing with my BeoGram CD7000 (through BeoMaster 6500 and a BeoLink (MCL) converter) to get the CD playing on NL. All with help from kind people on the forum :-).

Hope you can get it working!

Regards,

Johan

Good point - I’m still in the mindset of connecting Ebola s to something! Ignore me!

Thank you all guys, this is so kind of you, I will send a "happy" message here once I get it to work (plays CDs). πŸ˜•

Everything works thanks to your kind help. 🀩 "Speakerless" BS 9000 connected to BLC streams in multiroom to BS Stage and Beoplay A9! 😁

Next step: BLI and integration into Beoremote Halo. 😐

Glad you got it working!

Would you mind sharing your working setup?
Mine is similar to yours, BS9000 Mk2 + BLC ML/NL + BL28 + BS2

I have tried the suggestions in this thread, but the B&O app keeps saying β€œplay something on BeoSound9000 to add speakers to this group” (Beosound9000 is the name of th ML/NL)

Thanks
