Does nobody know whether BeoLink wireless will work via a BeoLink converter 1611?

I do not know the answer  - but as a 7000 system owner  will be interested to hear the responses from someone that does know!

Otherwise I may just have to dip my toe in the wireless water!

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work - but I've not been able to find anything online from someone who has actually done it. 

B&O's support documentation says the 7000 system is not supported - and of course it wouldn't be natively as it doesn't have MasterLink provision. The 1611 converter addresses that limitation so I don't see why it wouldn't work with the converter plugged into the aux link of the BeoMaster and the Wireless 1 chained to the converter with a MasterLink cable. I wouldn't have thought that the wireless module would know/care what specifically was on the other side of the converter

I'm tempted to try it but trial and error gets expensive quickly with B&O lol

It might be worth downloading the "configuration tool" programme from the downloads section and putting in what you'd like to do. At least that way you should be able to see if it is theoretically possible.

I use Wireless 1's and they work really well for me (although I have a BS 9000 and BV 5, both of which already have masterlink). One very important thing to note is that all the Wireless 1's must have the same software version to work. I bought my first pair from 2 different sources and couldn't get them to work.  only by lots of searching and testing did I find out one had old software and the other had the latest.

I have Beolab 12's on one receiver, a Beolab 2000 outdoors (I made a portable project) on another and a Beosound 8 on a third.

Good luck,  Stoobie.

Hi Stoobie,

Thanks for the info - that's very helpful. I was not aware of the software version limitation so I'll make sure I get a matching pair if it looks like this set up will work.

Would you mind giving me a link to where I can download the 'configuration tool' from please? I've searched the site and I cannot seem to find it...

The portable BeoLab 2000 sounds like a great idea. I have a spare one that I'm not using so I will have a look at putting something together :)

Thanks again

Mark,

Hi Mark,

The Config Guide Tool is available to gold and silver members and will then be found in link.

Of course with the Wireless 1's you should go for the newest software if you can. A dealer can upgrade them really easily as they just need to connect to a PC in store, upgrade the software and it's done. So if you get two that don't match you can get them both updated!

Hi Again Mark,

I have just looked up the Beolink Converter on the

Thanks Stoobie - that's great :D

I'm going to go for this now and try and track one down.

I thought your Beolab 2000 project looked very good. One of the reasons I want the wireless it to allow me to move the link room speakers around the house without having to run wires. Your idea is the next logical step and I do like the idea of being able to take something outside. I wonder if there is way to dispense with the Wireless 1's 'case' and integrate the components more closely?

Hi Mark,

I had the same thoughts (on a different project) and had a defective Wireless 1 that I opened up to look at and the component board inside is quite big and I cannot remember how the sockets were linked inside but I couldn't see any way to make the case much more compact so when I made my Beolab 2000 I just bit the bullet and mounted it as per the pictures you've seen.
