You can listen to hard drive and net radio off BeoSound 5 in all rooms and listen to 9000 CD/radio in all rooms. You don't "need" the 4's - BS5 or 9000 can send source through integrated speaker in BV10. You should run Cat 7 wire to all sources, and fit with ML/PL baluns so to "future proof" your network.

The problem in your configuration are the two audiomasters. If you connect Beolabs to your BS9000 and to BS5, you have to set them up both as audiomasters. I `d recommend a music room (Room 3) with BS9000 connected digitally and Powerlink to BL5 and BS5 masterlinked to BS9000.

- Room 1: BeoVision 7-40 with Beolab 7 video link room V.OPT 6 access to all video- and audio sources

- Room2 : Beolink active with 2 x BeoLab 6002/BL11 audio link room L.OPT 6 access to all video- and audio sources

- Room3: BS9000, BS 5, BM 5 and 2 x BL 5 audio main room A.OPT 2 (BS5 set to NO AUDIOMASTER) access to all video- and audio sources

- Room4: BeoVision 10-40" video link room V.OPT 6 access to all video- and audio sources (you can listen to audio sources via BV10 speakers)

- Room5: BeoLab 3500 audio link room L.OPT 6 access to all video- and audio sources

- Room6: BeoVision 7-55 with BeoLab 7-6 video main room V.OPT 2 access to all video- and audio sources

- Should work🙂

- Nice set up🙂🙂

BTW In this setup with three new TVs I would consider a HDMI matrix for video distribution...

Thanks for your answer.

In practice, how easy will the system be to operate. How can I control the cd-player or the beosound 5 in room4 for example with a Beo4 ?

To be honest, I prefer not to have videolinks. Is there any way to have control of both BeoSound 9000 and BeoSound 5 in each room without videolink ?

What happens if 2 audiomasters are on 1 system ?

Or can I solve it by using an B&O Active in Room3 for use with the BeoLab5 and just use the BeoSound5 as a slave and thus not using the volume control wheel ?

"In practice, how easy will the system be to operate. How can I control the cd-player or the beosound 5 in room4 for example with a Beo4 ?"

Just press CD, BS9000 will be activated, BV10 will start up in audio mode (speakers on, screen off), additional Beolabs will start up.

 

"To be honest, I prefer not to have videolinks. Is there any way to have control of both BeoSound 9000 and BeoSound 5 in each room without videolink ?"

So don`t use it. You save an RF link amplifier, cable, or an HDMI matrix.... And yes, sure, you can control all your audio sources in all link rooms.

 

"What happens if 2 audiomasters are on 1 system ?"

Two audiomasters in one masterlink system will be controlled simultaneously. You can set Your BS9000 (or BS5) up to A.OPT5 or 6, which means, this device is a local source and can only be accessed directly in that link room, whre it is installed.

 

"Or can I solve it by using an B&O Active in Room3 for use with the BeoLab5 and just use the BeoSound5 as a slave and thus not using the volume control wheel ?"

Not quite sure, but might work. So you control BS5 via BL active with Beo4, and maybe it`s possible to select music via BS5 wheel...(?)

The sad thing is, you can`t use the digital inputs of your BL5s.

Ok, that's what I want.

So I need a B&O Active for the BeoLab5. How do I cable my setup ? Just ML and UTP to the units and PL to the speakers ?

And you suggest to make 1 room with the BeoSound 9000 and Beosound 5 ? 

 

Thanks for your help !

 

and optical spdif together with PL from BS9000 to BL5

Only problem is I think it will not be easy to find spdif cable on reel.

I think i'm confused with SPDIF, thinking this is Toslink.

Am I right that the digital connection on both the beosound 9000 and a beolab 5 is an RCA-plug ? In that case normale digital cable can be used. I just run 1 cable from the BS9000 to one BL5 and then also from the left to the right BL5.

Things are getting more clear day by day 😁

If you are using a BL active you connect your Beolabs to Powerlink of the active. You control all your sources via BL active.

If you are "creating" a musicroom with BS900, BS5 and BL5 you masterlink the 9000 and BS5 and connect BL5 to Powerlink and spdif to your BS9000. That`s what I would do...

Yes, digital connection BS9000 > BL5 have rca plugs. You can daisy chain bothe BL5s.
