Back again,

got the newer version of bl3500 and it was sw 3.3 🙂 so I'm  now in phase with the blgw compability, did not make any difference in the

wireless 1 connectivity with bm5 though. Let's forget about the possibility to use them (wireless 1) in a blgw/masterlink setup and move on.

Which I have🙂 and bought a blc nl/ml, a core and ordered a couple of beolab 18.

Maybe I should start a new thread but I'll try here first; my objective is to replace the bm5 with the core as audiomaster but still

have access to the bm5 and it's N.MUSIC, is that possible?

My system is mainly audio, looking at the blc menu it looks like You have to choose audio either visible on the ml or nl not both?

The closest You get, as far as I understand , is Source Center but then N.MUSIC ends up visible on the ML side and not

on the NL side.  

Any advise much appreciated

Hi Baaz,

I ended up buying 2 converters, one exclusively for by BS9000 and another for the ML link rooms. This allowed me to map Radio on the ML side to Tune In on my Essence instead of using the BS9000 FM radio. CD source is then mapped to the BS9000's converter, N.Music mapped to Deezer, DTV to the APPLE TV source on my BV11 and A.MEM to my Chromecast audio on the line in of the converter. Works very well. My only gripe is that it's not possible to have Airplay mapped to individual sources on the converter. I have to be on Radio (TuneIn) then start Airplay from my phone to the Essence and it switches to Airplay on the ML speakers.

I managed to get a power box on ebay for £40, but had to wait quite a few months before one appeared. They may still be available to buy new, ask your dealership. No idea how much they are new.

ebnrob,

figured out that I will need the same, multiple BLCs, and also power box. There the BL3500 could be setup without audiomaster. Have about the same thoughts about the setup as You have with a Core for TuneIn and the BM5 for ripped CDs.

Did start a new thread as the subject of this one didn't reflect the new issues. I guess You were lucky to find a power box they seem rare. I keep my eyes open and check with the nearest dealer.

Right now I'm struggling with the basic setup of the BLC (as slave with speakers) with only a BM5 (audiomaster) connected and of course the BLGW.

Looked at an example in the 1.4 version guide and stripped it down. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'll keep ob testing:)

Try the converter as a video master or Beocenter. With the latter you can map n.music and n.radio to your core. Once saved power off all your ml devices for a few minutes then turn back on with your audio mater first, followed link rooms.

ebnrob,

Heureka!! that works! Thank You!!

this is really helpful, now I've got a "gateway"🙂 to start from.

Really frustrating with zero result and no clue what's wrong.

So I'll need at least one more BLC as it is not bi-directional in this setting.

Thanks again!

Hi Baaz,

I spotted an ML power box on eBay this morning for £50 and remembered you saying you were after one.

Thanks ebnrob,

member on the forum corrected me - they are still available and in stock, twice the price though compared the ebay item.

Thanks again

Just wanted to say that I’ve upgraded some 3500s to sw 3.3 - in fact a old LC9000!  You can still get the part from B&O - it’s called the Microcomputer - and it is quite easy to change as it is behind the display in the centre.
