NL/ML converter to connect to MasterLink

[Michiel Borchers]

Hello Beoworld,

Great this forum!

Just bought a nl/ml converter to connect my ML gear to Essence MKII.

My setup :

Living room

–       BV10 with BL8000 PL; ML to Distributor box Video connected

–       BeoSound 3000 ML connected to Distributor Box Audio connected. Used for CD and radio

–       BS Essence MKII connected to DVD on BV10; used for digital radio and digital music

–       ML/NL converter not yet connected

Link room (annex Living room)

–       BL3500 ML from distributor box Link 1

Link room 2 (annex Living room)

–       BL3500 ML from distributor box Link 2

I’ve read several posts on MLC; what I don’t understand from which source a ML cable should be connected to MLC?

Hi and welcome to our friendly forum!  Hopefully we can help you get set up and connected.

To answer your question about which ML source should connect – it doesn’t matter!  In a masterlink setup all the masterlinked components are connected in parallel – effectively they all share the same connections.  If you have a spare socket on the distribution box then you can connect to the NL/ML converter from that.

I think that when you come to set up the NL/ML Converter, you will have to set it up as ‘Source Centre’ because you already have a Videomaster (the BV10) and an audiomaster (the BS3000) on your ML system.   However, my experience on NL/ML Converters is quite limited so please have a read of the setup manual (do you have it?) and try to work out what is best for you.  I am sure that other forum members will be able to advise further.

Good luck!

Thank you for your quick response.
The receiver is on its way to me; as soon as I’ll have it I will set it up like this.
