Wondering what you mean by 'slave or master'???

Normally the terms 'slave and master' are represententing how devices in a MasterLink-seup acts.

This is different in the NL-world!

You might say that there are only 'masters' in a B&O networklink setup.

Thanks.

I would like to know the best to connect the Beosound 4,  the beolab 11 et 3, and the TV (with RCA). Sorry, for y bad English.

😁

Thats perfectly ok!

One way you could do it, is to use the PowerLink-out (you'll need an adapter cable) to connect the Essence-box to the Aux-input of your BS4.

Note: the Essence will have to be configured as 'fixed line-out' and you won't be able to use the 'wheely-remote' for volume controlling! This will have to be done with the BS4. 

The Essence has a line-in connection, which has autosense (means it turns on when a signal is detected).

This can be used for the connection of the tv - RCA out (volumen fixed - controlled via the BS4).

Your speakers then connected to the BS4 = BS4 -> BL11 -> BL3.

The functions/sources of the Essence must be controlled via the BeoMusic app respectively with the 'wheely'.

Look here for further inspiration:

@JPV

Just wondering, - with the B&O products listed, where would the Essence come into play?

What are you trying to achieve? 🙂

I have an Essence connected to the aux in on my Beosound 5. I can use the volume wheel in the app to adjust volume although I have a maximum volume set in the settings of the BeoSetup App. If the volume is set to high  on the Essence there is distortion and and static in the sound. Maybe I have it set up wrong?

Took a look at my settings in the BeoSetup app. If I select Line Out Level, it says Use Power Link socket for connection to anode system instead. I am using the Power Link socket to connect to the Beomaster 5?

 

@Razlaw

I have the box: 'connect...to another system' ticked.

The volume-output is fixed and has to controlled by the BM (to which it is connected/Aux-in),

and it is how I want it.

I have no 'wheely' right now to test it, but I can't imagine that the volume control there should do anything, since the same control in the app also does nothing.

It wouldn't be desireable to have two volume controls in one system either!

By the way - this is example 3 in the above linked document!!!

I do not use an essence remote, but the volume wheel works. If I have aux in activated on the MasterLink system, and then use the app to also turn on my V1 wirelessly connecting to the Essence, I can select group and then there are two circles in the app volume control. Moving them together adjusts the volume on the V1 and the ML system simultaneously.
