      Well,

       

      Regardless of all the measurements: I’m still blown away by my 20’s and love every minute of listening to them.

       

      Maybe a comparison between a Tesla and a Ferrari is in place here. On paper, a faster Tesla is all over any Ferrari. But a Tesla totally lacks any emotion at all. A Ferrari, on the other hand, is pure emotion.

       

      Now let’s turn up those 20’s again!

        Geen. Maar op het Ziggo-forum is een threadje geweest waaruit leek dat dit leek te kunnen (direct de BR1 op de Ziggo Next), maar niemand die het uit eigen ervaring wist.

        Maar het lijkt dus (zoals ik eigenlijk ook al dacht) niet te werken. Helaas.

          Die brom heb ik ook. Ik gebruik de Almondo dan ook nooit voor het luisteren naar muziek maar enkel voor films.

          Ik heb daar destijds contact over gezocht met de producent, maar ondanks verschillende mails hun kant op heb ik er nooit een reactie op ontvangen. Helaas… maar het went.

            Ah, thank you very much for clearing all this up MM!

            Appreciated.

              Ah, thank you :-).

              Indeed, I do see the radio stations and that makes it two-way.

               

              Which brings me to a second question: AFAIK there is no way to change the order of the radio stations in the app (and thus in the BR One), except for removing the stations from the favourites and add them again in the desired sequence.

              Or is there a way? It seems such basic functionality.

                Oh, ik zat te antwoorden op een bericht dat je inmiddels hebt aangepast hahaha.

                Anyway, nee, met dat vervangen door een RJ45 heb ik geen ervaring. Ik meen dat ik er een adapter tussen heb geplaatst, zoals deze: https://soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/30-370-rj45-to-powerlink-compatible-clip-on-adapter-convert-new-2013-ethernet-powerlink-to-traditional-8-pin-din-powerlink.html#/18-colour-black

                  Nee, beide signalen gaan door beide poorten. Dat is waarom alle PowerLink-speakers een switch hebben om te kiezen of ze het linker- of rechtersignaal moeten weergeven.

                  Op oude THX-dvd’s heb je vaak nog een tool staan om het volume van de afzonderlijke speakers in te stellen (dan komt er een flinke ruis uit elke afzonderlijke speaker) en dat werkt ook feilloos.

                  De PowerLink-poorten (dus ook die op de Almando) geven beide signalen door. Er zijn weliswaar twee poorten per soort speakers (dus front of surround), voor als je Almando tussen de speakers in staat. Net zoals dat op BeoSounds zoals de 3000 en 9000 het geval is: je hebt 2 PowerLink-poorten, maar je hoeft er maar een te gebruiken.

                    Ik heb een vergelijkbare setup (althans, de Almando met BL4000’s als rears) en ook ik heb maar één PowerLink van de Almando naar de BL4000’s: RJ45 aan de kant van de Almanda, DIN aan de kant van de eerste surroundspeaker. Vervolgens een DIN-DIN-kabel van de eerste naar de tweede surroundspeaker. Op de speakers kun je vervolgens een switch omzetten waarmee je aangeeft of het de linker- of rechterspeaker betreft.

                    Beide signalen gaan namelijk door diezelfde PowerLink-kabel.

                    Dit werkt perfect!

                    PS Het maakt dus ook niet uit in welke RJ45-poort je deze in de Almando steekt. Ik heb hem in de bovenste van de twee surround-poorten zitten. De onderste van de twee surround-poorten is dus ongebruikt.

                    Dat is bij alle PowerLink het geval: je kunt altijd kiezen of je losse kabels naar de speakers trekt, of ze doorlust en de switch instelt. Dat systeem was zijn tijd oneindig ver vooruit.

                      Ja, daar zit wat in. Zo ingewikkeld is het niet, een RJ45 erop knijpen ;-).

                      Hier vind je trouwens een aansluitschema: https://archivedforum.beoworld.org/forums/p/42013/348566.aspx

                      Moet je alleen de DIN die je eraf knipt even opensnijden om te kijken of je een T568B of T568A hebt. Succes!

                        Never mind: if all else fails, unplug everything, plug it back in and hope for the best.

                        Hoping for the best works, everything is fine now. Nothing to see here, move along ;-).

                          Oh, and to add to this.

                           

                          If I choose the multiroom tab in the app, I can select ‘add product’. The NL/ML converter is mentioned there as a product type that can be added, but when I click on it I get an error message, saying that it can’t find the product.

                          I never added it this way in the past (I’m not sure if that was an option or not), but I find it strange that the product type is mentioned, but it cannot find the converter.

                           

                          Anyway: thanks again for any insights!

                            Hi, thanks again!

                            I think I’m going to try to find a Beoremote 1 BT. If I am correct, with that I should be able to control everything. In the end that’s what I’m after: back to the full integration that I once had.

                            The only thing missing then is the TV, since I sold my BV7 and got an LG instead. Sadly, the LG is one generation too old to be able to be controlled by the BR1 BT. But if at least the music is fully integrated again, I’m happy.

                            Again, thanks for all your help. It was invaluable.

                              Hi Carolpa,

                              Thank you so much for your elaborate advice! Following your steps, I got it working.

                              Would it also be possible to use the Beo4 to control the volume? Right now, I can switch tracks with the Beo4, but for volume I have to revert to the B&O app.

                              Thanks again!

                              Joeri

                                Hi again,

                                I hope someone can help me out. I got the converter and bought a ML cable. So I should be all set. But I’m getting lost in configuring it all. While it should be pretty straight forward.

                                What I have is this:

                                BeoSound 3000 — [ML cable] — NL/ML converter — [UTP cable] — Switch —[UTP cable] —BeoSound Core — BeoLab 20

                                I’d like to be able to control it all via the B&O app and preferably also the Beo4.

                                But how should I set the BS3000 (option 0, 1 or 2), the NL/ML converter (A master, V master, AV master, slave, etc.) and maybe the Core?

                                I have managed to control the BS3000 through the B&O app (the CD starts spinning) but I don’t get any sound to the speakers (which are connected to the Core). So commands are issued to the BS3000. Commands are also coming back I think, because on the B&O app it shows the track number which is playing.

                                However, sound doesn’t seem to come back.

                                I do have the reference manual of the NL/ML converter, but I haven’t managed to find the right configuration yet.

                                Any help would be greatly appreciated!

                                Thanks,
                                Joeri

                                  Well, I found a used NL/ML converter. The idea of full integration sounds good to me, especially if I’ll be able to use my Beo4 to turn the whole system off. My wife would like that a lot, because she’s really not at ease with the apps on the phone.

                                  Sadly, I don’t have a clue where I left my Masterlink cable, but I’m sure I’ll find it back somewhere. And after that, I’ll have to fix the glass doors on my BS3000 (because they stick, like so many of them), but at least I won’t have to be bored.

                                  I’m ready to keep 30 year old design beauty alive, oh yeah :-).

                                    Hi all,

                                    I’m sorry for not replying sooner, while you all replied so kindly.

                                    @Steve, if I put the volume of the BS3000 at 75%, wouldn’t it introduce a lot of hiss?
