Hi Steve

I will be using ML for some time to come, at least until all the ML stuff I have fails - quick, reliable, easy to install but most importantly the quickest and most convenient way to listen in to music playing elsewhere that doesn't require constantly having your phone with you or wireless connection.

My house in UK is still wired for MCL, but I'll probably 'update' to ML if/when I move back there! 🙂

Je suis en ML de la pièce principale entre le BeoVision 10mk3 et le BeoSound 9000mk3 puis dans deux autres pièces avec une BeoLab 3500mk2 et une BeoLAb 2000mk2.

C'est un système très simple qui me convient parfaitement et en cas de déménagement je ne changer rien.

J'aimerai bien un BeoSound 5 encore mais il me semble que le ML ne fonctionne pas avec lui ?

Thanks everyone for all your replies and kind words 🙂

Glad I'm not the only one who still has MCL at home 👍 so this leads to another question: should I look at getting the "obsolete" MCL cables made again?

Kind regards, Steve.

I also still have an MCL based system used every day. Feeds from a 5500 system in the lounge to the kitchen, bathroom and main bedroom.

In fairness it is brought up to date by the use of a Bluesound Node which distributes music from a hard drive, connected via the Tape 2 connection into the MCL but can then be accessed via phone/tablet around the house.

All good! James

Thanks Dom!

Interest does now seem to be waning in the MCL systems, but the good old Penta speakers are still going strong in many homes!  I am pleasantly surprised at how many sets of the 4 pin Speakerlink cables we ship every month, good to know that these lovely speakers are still being enjoyed.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hello Steve,

My usage of Masterlink is similar to yours: the BeoMaster6500 is MCL connected to a converter. The ML goes to a junction box and on to the kitchen where a BeoLab 3500 is bringing the music.

I enjoy the perfectly working multiroom technology from the ‘90s everyday!

regards, Johan

Well Steve,

I just moved from from Asia to London and have been on a Masterlink bonanza! I still really love the fact that you can cut the cable, split it and solder it together, adding more Beolink products. To my joy, I discovered a Masterlink cable and RF cable when I took out the old carpet in our new place. They turned out to be running from living room through kitchen & bathroom to the bedroom. Thanks to who ever put that in!  

With some of the cables that I ordered from you and cable bits I still had, I have set up my Beovision 10-40, connected to my BeoSound 9000. I took my Beogram 7000 and Beocord 7000 out of storage and used your splitter cable to connect them to the AUX. Two Beolab 6000 and two Beolab 4000, with a Beolab 11 complete the living room. 

I took my 2 Beolab 2000’s out of storage as well and got a 3rd one from LifeStyle AV. They are now in the kitchen and both bathrooms. To complete it all, I got a Beovision 6-22 on a motorised stand to put in the bedroom. Now I have music throughout the apartment and can even watch and control digital tv and Netflix over the RF cable in the bedroom.The simplicity and reliability of Masterlink is just great. Some of my cable pieces are from 2000 and still perfect.

I would certainly put Masterlink in another apartment if I were to move again!

I have sold all my MCL and ML units except my Beomaster 6500 and Beogram 7000. They are setup with a 1611 and NL/ML Converter.

I love my datalink gramophone playing in every room of my house controlled via Remote or App from any room in the house.
