Today I did some work on my NL and noticed that the secondary linked products do work again!
I linked Beosystem 7000 and Beosound 3000 to one Beosound Shape. The cd3000, bg6000 (a.aux of the 3000), cd7000, ph7000 & tp7000 are sources off the Shape.

Assuming you have the BS Core with the Shape, I do not quite know what you mean.

The sources from my linked (ML -> NL) BM/CD 6500 have been there all the time – I haven’t noticed any changes.

This – as an example – is with one of my M3’s:

What is bothering me, is that they still haven’t made it possible to link a ML source to the products on the Mozart platform (in my case the  BS Theatre)

The ‘Join workaround’ of course is possible there.
But it would be nicer, if one could choose e.g. the CD6500 directly from the Beoremote – especially since the Theatre setup is my main room for listening to CD’s.

8’s any time!

I like the 4000’s very much, still I would like to change mine to 8’s.

This said – much depends on the placement and on the listening habits/need for speakers as surrounds.

Why not keep the 9’s as is and add the 8’s as heights/WiSA…..I am sure, you won’t regret that.

Looks good…so far

A Powerlink connection (one cable) carries two channels.

This means that you can use the mentioned adapter for two speakers i.e. your left and right BL3.
That must be configured in the sound menu of the BV for the PL socket you use.

However, the BL2 needs its own socket to be configured correctly.
Meaning that you will also need an adapter for that (a single RJ45 to Din female).
After connecting that to a PL socket on the BV that can be configured appropriately.
You then end up with a 3.1 setup (the internal speakers must be configured a the center speaker).

In case you later on should want to expand, you just need another splitter (like the one mentioned) and – of course – the BL’s configured as surround L/R.

All set up you can create Speaker Group – for Movie typically the 3.1 configuration and for Music (radio etc) typically a 2.1 configuration.

If you want to dig deeper and learn about the multiple options of the BV11, please read here:

Congrats!

When connected to a BV, you should definitely connect the BL3’s and the 2 seperately.

Otherweise you will not be able to configure the setup correctly.

Connecting the 3’s via the 2 is correct, when you connect to a Beomaster/Beosystem/Beosound (i.e. not the BS Theatre) such as a BS3000.
There you have no option for setting the distances etc etc.

Please consult the userguide of the BV to find explanations of how you connect external speakers.

This said – it is possible to do what you have done – but it is certainly not the best way, and nothing that I would recomment.

So, yes – you will need adapters
Best set each speaker up seperately.

That is not a big deal – you can use a PL-splitter, which basically lets you daisychain one to another.

However, if set up with the BV11 they will be placed on either side….so no need for daisychaining.

For sure a good find 😀

Why not try out both option to see how you get most of your new speakers.

Since it seems that you already have a running setup in the bedroom, start with the living room.
With the BL2 the 3’s will be an upgrade!

I know this product.

(Btw – it has already been presented on the Beoworld Forum some years ago).

It is developed and is sold as a solution for all those, who wants to maintain their MasterLink setup and – because they have lost the old school analog FM radio – wants to add an internet radio option.

I find it very well described on the website.
Also you can se the BT version (=4.2) there.
I would not be worried about BT….nothing that I use, but it should be sufficient for those, who likes BT streaming.

Also there is an option for including a turntable to the mix.
Since the Aux input of the AudioMaster is used for connecting the box, this is via connecting this to the box.

In my opinion a clever solution….
……which unfortunately comes a bit too late for those of us, who already have migrated to a NL-based solution.

Never heard that the device should have a backup battery.

But it is not unknown, that it looses its settings.
You will have to set it up again.

If you want a 100% answer, you could contact OneRemote directly.

Seems to be a Sagemcom branded box….if that helps you.

The biggest problem there will be to find this adapter (9 pin <-> scart female).

I guess you could use an digital/coax connection for ‘better’ sound.

The setup will be similar to setting up other external sources.

As for using the HDMI….that will need some testing.

I am pretty sure that these internal speakers won’t work, when the tv is connected to the BS Theatre.

Connecting the tv and the Theatre requires activating ARC/eARC in the tv (and CEC), which normally would exclude sound from internal speakers.
Only a test can tell.
Maybe someone else has tried it.

B&O once made a table of what is possible with 3rd party tv’s.
The TCL is not in there, but it might give you an idea of the ‘troubles’ when not connecting to a recommended LG- tv.

By the way – those built-in speakers do not rank high in the tests…

….however, they seem to be better than most built-in speakers of the current tv’s.
And why would you want to use them, when you have a BS Theatre connected 🤔

For sure….this is noticeable ✔️

Confess I also have a BV11 – less enamoured with that than you are – remote not easy to use in the dark and the drama turning it on with the Bang & Olufsen coming up before anything happens –

Seems that you use the BROne.
Why not use a Beo4?

As for the B&O logo – just set some Quick Start timers and it turns on immediately (with the curtains).

@Teun

Why not just stick to your current setup – it seems that you like it so far.

If anything…then a set of the BL8’s – that would be a clean setup. But that is a lot of money for a desktop solution.

 

P.S.

I use a set of passive AudioEngine desktop speakers driven by a small amp which is analog connected to a USB-DAC on my Mac Mini.

But I have space to hide the clutter away….which not everybody has on his desk.
Works well for me – it does not have to be B&O speakers for my limited use of desktop computing.

If you plan to go by train from Copenhagen to Struer, you should know that:

You can get very low fares if you plan and buy tickets at the right moment – you can buy 2 months ahead.

The prices will vary depending on the time of the day.

If you are over 65 years old 😉 you pay less.
I would recommend buying a seat reservation.

The duration can vary quite a lot – the quickest train rides are at 4 hour 15 minutes approx – with 1 change.
See this example:

DSB (danish railroad service) has an english version of their homepage: https://www.dsb.dk/en/

I am pretty sure that Geoff will not see your post – he hasn’t been on the Beoworld forum for a long while.

Maybe I am wrong…we’ll see.

In the meantime you could visit his own homepage – I am certain that you will find your answers there.

A lot of us would be happy to have a setup like yours

I see no real point in changing from BL2 to BL19….unless you have money to burn.

Honestly 6xBL9 should provide enough and bass in the room….…..even without the BL2.

But what do I know 🤣

P.S. I would not change the BL4000’s to BL3’s – if at all, then to the BL17’s.

I am on 663 as well.

With the two stations, that I listen to most, there are no problems….is as it uses to be.
