Hello again. I have now re read the whole thread and I might have misunderstood which components are in your system.
If I understand it correctly you have the MCL2AV box in the garage, and the IR eye + speakers in the bed room?
The measurement of the 2V where did you take that at the splice?
If sio you could instead try to measure it at the screw terminals in the MCL2AV box to see if it has the correct voltage of 5V.
I should be done between the terminals for the green and the brown wire
Hope this helps
Just chiming in here with my 2 cents and a couple of questions
- You do mention a Beosstem 4500, but I can not tell from your description if you have been using that through any of the xtra speaker kits? The reason for asking this is that the MCL2AV shown in you picture can work independently of the MCL system when you are only using it’s local input connectors as it have it’s own powers supply. Therefor it can work without the MCL cabling and the Beosystem 4500 for the use case you have describe.
- You do mention that there is also xtra speaker kits in the garage and the bedroom. Are these the same type as the one in your picture? The reason for asking is that there is both an xtra speaker kit (where the grey box is an MCL2A) and en xtra active speaker (where the grey box is an MCL2AV as the one in your picture) and there are quite some differences in them.
- Where have you measure the 2V you are mentioning? The MCL cable do supply a voltage of arround 8V in the pink vire from the main system (in your case the Beosystem 4500). The voltage can be measure between the pink and the brown wire. Some voltage drop should be expected along the cable, but 2 V seems low.
Here is the cable colors.
Do note that it is also important the the two speaker connectors are connected correctly on the Beosystem 4500. Left and right must no be switched as one of them caries voltage and the other data signals.
Also important that they are conencted to the speaker 2 terminal on the Beosystem 4500 as the speaker 1 connctors do not supply voltage for the MCL system.
If you have MCL2A boxes (Those without local inpus) these can only work if they get power from the Beosystem 4500.
Hope that these inputs can help you further. You are welcome to ask if any doubts
Probably gonna be more of an addition than addiction
I have never really been found of the look of it, but when BS4 was announced at a price I couldn’t say no to I picked it up anyway
Of course it’s sticky all over since B&O at that point was going all in with these coatings on all surfaces.
Furthermore when powered up the glass door is moving down, but when it reach the buttom gear noice starts and keeps going.
Could be a sensor problem?
I was very surprised by the low weight of it when I picked it up. B&O must really have saved on the material bill on these units.
Anyway. First things first. I have allready started to remove the sticky coating as my fingers get all black when I touch it
