Hi there,
I've sold my Essence Mk2 to someone via our local classifieds site. He is trying to setup the Essence Mk2 with two Penta Mk3s + an S8 sub. The S8 works fine but the Penta's don't give any sound. Not on PL1 nor on PL2. My guess was that it's the DIN>RJ45 converter, but he claims to have tested that already.
Any of you some idea of what could be amiss? I want to help him set it all up, but am at a loss now...
The problem is, that the RJ45/PL port on the Essence (and the newer products) probably will not provide enough power to trigger the amps of the BL Penta’s..
There is, however a solution for that.
Please contact Steve/SoundsHeavenly direct - he should have the solution.

Thanks for your help! The RJ45<>DIN connector was faulty. It’s working atm 👍
Thanks MM!
Yes, this is fairly typical of an adapter that isn't fully wired. The Pentas should work reliably when a fully wired adapter like this one is used (the trigger current for the Pentas is quite low, as they drain the signal through a 47k resistor if I remember correctly):-
