Thanks Martin for your reply. I'm beginning to understand more!

However I'm not certain if I need to purchase an entire Beolink active kit with the IR receiver or just the IR. 

I'd be grateful for any advice.

 

Thanks again

My understanding is that the ML/MCL converter and the Beolink Passive are identical units except that the latter is supplied with an IR receiver (eye), so you'd just need to purchase the eye to connect to your ML/MCL converter.

Turning my Beolink passive upside down the connections are as follows (from left to right):-

AC Power

IR (7 pin DIN)

Masterlink

Powerlink (8 pin DIN)

Speakers R + L

Assuming your ML/MCL converter is the same, you'd just plug the eye into the 'IR' socket and be good to go.

Kind Regards,

Martin.
