Beolink NL/ML problem? Constant red LED with flashing green.
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 20, 2020 15:17Yes, I tried to use them. The Status LED should stop and blink based on the function you request, but even if I press the setup button, there’s no change in the LED activity. The green led just flashes away madly and the…
Beolink NL/ML problem? Constant red LED with flashing green.
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 20, 2020 00:44As a note, I've tried the factory reset option, but when you press the setup button, the red led never flashes, just the green LED. I hold it for what I assume is about 5 seconds, then release and press the button to con…
Beolink NL/ML problem? Constant red LED with flashing green.
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 20, 2020 00:38My NL/ML was working fine until recently, but when I went to listen to a CD today, the BS9k didn't turn on from the beoplay app. According to the app, it's not on the network. So, I assumed the box had an issue. When I w…
Can't get BS9000 CD to play on BS Core with Beolink Converter M/L
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 12, 2019 15:25I can't see any place to hit any digits in the play app, but I'll try to figure it out. For now a double tap forward or backward changes a disc. Thanks so much for the help though,
Can't get BS9000 CD to play on BS Core with Beolink Converter M/L
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 7, 2019 03:26So, I temporarily have my BS9k hooked up directly to my BL5s, so that I can hear CDs. But, the setup I'd *like* to use is to connect my BS9k to my Beolink Converter ML/NL (masterlink), then be able to select CD (Beolink …
Beolab 5 DACs and setup upgrading question
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 8, 2019 01:29Yes, I’m now using the core’s DAC rather than the BL5’s. That being said, you ha e inspired me to look at a custom wiring solution to go straight digital end to end. I may try it.
Beolab 5 DACs and setup upgrading question
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 8, 2019 01:26The M50.2 has no DAC. It’s just a streamer.
Beolab 5 DACs and setup upgrading question
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 5, 2019 18:10I guess I should have clarified: I didn't want to open up the walls to run a second set of wires for digital coax from my AV cabinet to BL5R, then a second cable to run from BL5R to L. As it is, I have Cat7 cables behind…
Beolab 5 DACs and setup upgrading question
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 5, 2019 03:23I was using the "big brother" to the Node 2, which is the NAD M50.2. Digital output, etc,, but has a 2TB NAS in RAID configuration and a CD player (with CD ripping capability). It uses the Bluesound app for control, and …
BeoSound Core Compatibility
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 3, 2018 00:04Ok. After about 2 weeks of listening...I am returning to mu original thought. The “soft crackling noise” is imperceptible at any volume worth listening at. I’m going ahead and saying the beosound core and beolab 5s are t…
BeoSound Core Compatibility
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 25, 2018 05:32I’m currently just using powerlink (I have mk3s for my BL5s). Steve - I will try what you have recommended, but isn’t the core already set at fixed output and changing the volume through the BL5s when hooked up via power…
BeoSound Core Compatibility
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 23, 2018 16:30Really sorry, but it looks like I had been blinded by hope. At low volume, there is still a discernible hissing, as the OP noted, which sounds like a record. Its not noticeable when louder, but it looks like my previous …
BeoSound Core Compatibility
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 23, 2018 04:07So, a quick update: BL5s and BS Core are working fine by powerlink. I notice no audio issues at all. I’m using a standard RJ45 to 8 pin converter and my old mk3 cables. I’ve also linked my NAD M50.2 via optical to the co…
BeoSound Core Compatibility
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 11, 2018 21:20So Powerlink Core->BL5 is still bad? That's shocking.
BeoSound Core working with Chromecast Audio device
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 11, 2018 14:46If he wants to be able to supply all 4 speakers with the same audio (whole house solution) isn’t there something like this he could do: core -> speaker set 1 network link -> ML/NL converter -> ML system (like a Beolink C…
BeoSound Core Compatibility
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 10, 2018 19:08Has there been any update to the BS Core/BL5 compatibility issue? I’m looking at buying a core to integrate my BL5s with the rest of my AV system. Right now I’m using my BS9K (aux in) to send audio from my TV and M50.2 t…
Beolab 5 and Beosound Essence (and Remote)
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 18, 2018 23:31The latest option I’m using is mode 2 on the chart, which is Beo4 IR (radio). The BL5s are set at L opt 1. My harmony remote turns them on and off correctly, but it fails to change their volume. So, I’ve still got the es…
Beolab 5 and Beosound Essence (and Remote)
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 18, 2018 16:52So, I’ve switched my speakers to mode 1. Two points: 1) there’s virtually no volume control lag, but the dB steps are quite wide...and wow, using the BL5 to control the volume instead of the preamp is shocking. Way, way …
Beolab 5 and Beosound Essence (and Remote)
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 18, 2018 15:44Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate the help so far. My question about my DAC was mostly rhetorical. Controlling my speakers through the essence remote would have been elegant, but the truth is, I would still need th…
Beolab 5 and Beosound Essence (and Remote)
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 18, 2018 01:27I’m going to switch to mode 1 (unplug the BS9k) and see if that helps. The batteries are new, so with luck it will work directly with the essence remote. I’d plug the speakers into the BS9k and route everything through t…
