Hi Abeng,

are you sure, that you use the right (fully monted RJ45 to Din) PL cable from the Essence to the Passive amp?

Would you be able to change the volume on the passive with powerlink2 connected or do you change on the connected device?

I have my Essence driving a Beolink Passive which drives some outdoor speakers. The first cable my dealer sold me did not work, even though their documentation said it would. It only works with one type of cable - the powerlink mk2.

You change the volume on the device driving the Passive.  The Passive itself has no volume control. 

Usually when we talk about the BeoLink Passive, we mean the box (connected to ML) and the connected ir-eye for local control.

However when the box is used just for amplfication, there is no ir-eue connected. Only the (right) PL cable and the (passive) speakers cables (and the power cable).

Since it merely is an amp, all controls are done in the main system (as Stan wrote).

Good point MM.  Thanks for clarifying.
