ML/MCL Converter

Thanks ?

Got a few questions to the ML/MCL Converter

On the technical page of Beoworld it says:

“It provided a power output of 30W per channel and could drive 4 MCL rooms fitted with passive speakers. ”

In the specs on same page it says:

“Long-term max. output power IEC 2 x 60 watts / 8 ohms”

 

Q1: what is the power output at what ohm ?

Q2: how can it drive 4 mcl rooms ?

Q3: is it safe to use with a pair of 4 ohm speakers ?

 

Thanks

R.

Not sure!

By taking an ML input and providing the speaker output as an input to an MCL2 distribution system – this is the purpose for which it was introduced (i.e: adding a new ML audiomaster to an existing MCL2 distribution system). The converter’s speaker sockets actually each have an extra pin to provide data and power according to the diagram here:  https://www.beoworld.org/beotech/wiring1.htm  They would then supply MCL2As (with IR eyes) in each MCL room/zone.

Yes. If at all concerned just keep the volume at a slightly lower level initially.
