Apologies the picture is missing - will try & find out how to load

Hi Alan,

Any chance you could email me the picture please at steve@soundsheavenly.com as this isn't showing in your post?  I can then help you to get everything working!

Thanks, Steve.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for emailing me the diagram.  There are a few options to consider:-

1) Add a Beolink Active from the ML system in the Music room, linked to the Aux input of the 9500.  You can then select Aux to play the ML music in the music room (although some adjustment of the option settings on the 9500 will be needed to get remote control operation correct).

2) If the music to be shared is mainly streamed online, then another option is to add Sonos or Bluesound players (or Essences or Cores) to both the main ML system and the 9500, then you can access the same online content in any room directly via the appropriate app.

3) An ML/MCL Converter should give a similar setup to option 1, with easier remote control access between the two systems.

Please let me know if you need any help with cables for any of these options!

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Steve

Thanks for your advice - it's very much appreciated.

with regard to the options:

1. I don't have an Active (only passive) - so this would buying one but that's not a major issue on eBay.

2. The main reason for pickup up the main house system would be for radio as this is where the roof FM aerials feed in (yes I know BBC sounds etc does much the same thing but it's so much cleaner to simply press 'Radio' on the Beo4!

3. I think would create a conflict of two master audio - unless you can produce a cable which negates this.

Many thanks

Alan

Hi Steve

This has been an unsolved problem for me for some time!

I've only just cottoned on to your last option of using a ML/MCL converter.

I may have tried this before and got a conflict of having 2 audio masters - do you think with appropriate cabling from yourself this wouldn't be an issue?

Thanks

Alan

Hi Alan,

The converter is only intended to be used with one audio master and one video master.  It won't really work properly if you have two audio products connected.  In this case, the simplest option is often to set one product (usually the older one, or the one you use the least) to option 0 (no remote control reception) and then operate this product manually.

Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks Steve - will give that a go this weekend
