bloody hell mate, you're not kidding around😎

Actually, there IS a limit in an NL network: 32 products. So there's at least some hope for stopping this addiction.

Beojeff, I respect and admire you! Please keep posting more on your setup!

That's true B&O love! 🙂


Do I understand correct, that you can even control your Beograms via App and/or modern remote control (thanks to NL/ML converter)?

@beojeff

I like that :-)

Thank for posting.....very inspiring!

This is correct. You just need a datalink Beogram turntable connected to a datalink BeoMaster. When connecting such an older MCL system, you'll also need the MCL to ML converter (Type 1612 in the U.S.) to first convert the MCL system to ML for connection to the NL/ML Converter. You can then use the BeoRemote One BT to control playback of the BeoGram from an NL device such as BeoPlay A6. You can also control playback from ML devices such as a BeoVision 10 -- which could not previously control older datalink devices. You just need to also have that ML device (such as BeoVision 10) connected to the NL network using another NL/ML Converter.

A way of thinking of this is that the NL system can be used to join multiple ML systems. Each ML system requires its own NL/ML Converter. Each of these ML systems can include link devices.

I'll point out that the B&O app still has not been given the attention to NL/ML Converters that they deserve. Some functionality isn't on the app that should be. However, the B&O remotes work great.

As for including an MCL-based master/system is the PL connection - in addition to the Aux - mandatory, when connecting the Beolink -1611 - converter?

Or is this a matter (like with an ‘old’ MCL/ML setup) of wanting to use the controls on the master/system for starting an ‘integrated’ video product (the A-master being in option 0) or just wanting to activating/control the sources to another A or V product in the setup with the remote (in which case it is not needed)?

I hope you understand, what I mean ;-))

You are correct about how adding the PL cable is needed just in the case that you mentioned for the old integrated setups. I haven't found that I need it. However, it might be needed in a situation where you assign video ML sources to be mapped to NL sources for playback on the ML system. I just don't do that so I haven't tested it.

@beojeff

In my/this case a MCL-audiomaster (connected to the 1611 converter would be in option 0 and integrated to an NL-tv in the same room using the NL/ML Converter.

In previous setups I did not use the PL connection, since I don’t wanted the option of starting sources directly - I prefered using the remote via the tv.

But that might change ;-)

I guess trying it out one of these days will solve the mystery!

I’d love to see the schematic as to how this is all wired up. I’m intrigued as to how you add multiple masters. I suppose you are using subsets of ML with them all connected together via NL/ML gateways in a NL network?
