I think it depends on which type of AV9000 you have - the early ones seem to have a slightly different type of Masterlink socket. In principle, a masterlinked audio system should be fine though.

The later systems used the Ouverture i think... i would not buy another masterpanel, since the masterpanel will not work stand alone.  

Every audio system should work with AV9000. I had a BC 9500, a BS7000 and a MCP 9000 connected to my AV 9000. And it`s the old 2way version.

You will need a Beolink converter (AV9000-audio kit - 1610 or maybe 1611) for audiosystems without ML.

Peter, remember we had the same discussion a few months ago. I have the oldest version of AV9000 and it was linked with my Beosound 4 with no problems at all. In fact it was connected to the rest (and still is) to the whole link in the house and no problems at all!!

thanks for the replies

really like the beo4 but not sure about the price ???

as suggested may just go an get another master panel - one on ebay.

I'm not sure if you got the email I tried to send you a while ago, but I've got one extra master panel, stashed away "in case I need it someday". It should be 100% working (have to check that...) and it seems that I don't have use for it for now.

Make me an offer, anything reasonable will probably be ok. 🙂

OH? Mine's type 4305 with sw1.1 so would that work by un-plugging my BL3500 and plugging the AV900 into my ML of Avant RF DVD & BS3200?

I tried it and I got Radio, A.Tape & CD which is cool but the only issue I have is what do I need to get my STB playing from the Avant to the AV9000 in my bedroom? Would it be worst case scenario get a STB controller fitted? If so are there any MX ones in existence?

Hi there. I'm not sure if it is a matter of the stb. I guess that you have your Avant as a Video Master. Have you already installed the RF modulator which distributes the video signal from the Video Master to the rest of the linked TVs in the house?

Errr, well I used to have a set-up of non B&O tv and BL3500 in the link room so that was fine to watch sat & DVDs, but now with the AV9000 I can get audio sources, just not sure how to get the DVD & SAT source from the Avant? And as it was a non B&O tv I had the modulator or some setting on rather than the default off 😂

Do I need something else like Beolink Video?
