I think you have to be patient and wait for some sort of masterlink converter.  Apparently this won't be coming as soon as people would like.

from which port do you want to covert? There is no port.

Yes there is - Ethernet.

New B&O products will be linked using traditional networking (apparently).  Eventually, a device to bridge between this and MasterLink will be created.

This is all in other threads, but no one seems able to keep the same stuff in the same place - we just end up with loads on the same topic.

Here's a couple:

Apart from the Ethernet as mentioned, you will have to have a line-out for speakers (of course with attenuation), and hopefully a digital out too (thinking BL5s etc. here).

So, yeah, there will be something to convert.

 

 

okay, got it and I already do transfer all ML data via Cat5 through my house using the junction boxes. So maybe via the Ethernetport the thing can already be used on Master link?

Wouldn't think so - it's be advertised as ML if it supported it.  Doing that would probably fry the BS5 or the masterlinked products.

B+O logic would be Ethernet called ethernet, but maybe same signal, which to my opinion would make sense. Why do you think it would fry them?

Just because it uses the same type of cable/plug as what you have in your walls doesn't mean it's the same standard being used.

I'm not entirely sure what you're saying, but I'd agree with the above comment.  MasterLink is not Ethernet.  They would fry because they're totally different signals and voltages - even if they are using the same cables. 

Any information about the BeoVox 2?
