Hi all,

I heard the NL/ML converter was being discontinued. Is that true?

According to information in other threads, yes.

The day after I ordered one it was discontinued in their ordersystem my dealer said. Guess I was lucky.

It makes you wonder why they discontinued something that B&O dealers and customers needs and want. Not everyone want to stream all music and watch movies from streamed sources. They still want to be able to play cd´s and vinyl´s and use their analog radios and even tapes maybe.

Maybe they have something else coming. Who knows.

My understanding is that the hardware is the same as the BLGW. Perhaps a BLGW could still be loaded with the NL/ML software.

Think B&O actually now drop the “connection” to the legacy stuff. They have been amazing in enabling the old stuff to work with new.

Guess it had to happen sooner or later.

I have lots of ML kit - if there is no way to connect them to new B&O kit, then I will stop buying B&O.

Really the connectivity of the B&O kit was what made me buy more and more over the years - with a hard stop on ML not connecting to NL, that reason has now gone.

Sorry if I'm asking questions that have already been answered, but are they phasing out ML completely as well? (I understand they stopped Beosound Moment)

p.

Yes, there aren't any ML products available that I can think of. I have a used converter on EBay at the moment 🙂

Hi, if you buy a powerlinkswitch from oneremote.dk (in denmark) you can still use your old ML link system and your old musicsystem.

 

best regards
