BeoSound 5c – Open source revival of B&O’s BeoSound 5

[Tlali Letete]

hiya,

thanks for your input on this problem I have.

let me explain, I have a smart projector which is mounted on the ceiling, which I want the sound to come through the Beolab 6000 speakers connected to the Beomaster 5. so at the back of the Master 5, I tried to use the USB ports as I thought it would be just easy to connect the Bluetooth adaptor there, the sound which was coming out of the project disappears as the bluetooth device is paired with the projector, however no sound comes through.

Steve(Heavenly Sounds) advised that I get Beolink Convertor and Masterlink cable as he was saying that there will be delay on the sound. I got everything, tested the Beolink Convertor, there is a buzz sound which make me believe that it is working(second hand, the seller on advert said it was working). so I connected everything including the Bluetooth device and still no sound through A.Aux. So yesterday I put a question on to Chatgpt about this, it came with suggestions on which source to use and it said I should not use A.Aux, look for TV channel or Sat, which I unfortunately are not on the list on my Encore and it end up suggesting to use the remote control to change to TV. so I am now looking to get Beo 4 remote control.

is there anyone who uses Bluetooth to connect from the external media who can explain how he/she has connected their system?

Hi,

I’m using a beolink converter in my masterlink network, I confirm you need to hit TV on the beo4. I’m afraid you still my get a audio delay but maybe you can adjust that on your projector. I used to have the same setup but with a cable that worked ok.

Hi Lechatsurletoit

thanks for the information, much appreciated. the last part of your message, are you having a cable which goes to the BeoMaster from the projector, is that what you mean to avoid the sound delay?

Hi,

I have a beomaster/beosound 5 in my ML network, a beolink converter 1611 and an NL/ML converter 1790 with networklink speakers. First plug all the masterlink cables, then the power for the converter 1611 and the beomaster. Hit TV button on the beo4, should work. My projector was plugged in the converter 1611 directly, I could not notice a delay.

I need to get a raspberry pi now and test the 5c in this setup.
