Wow….did not expect that.

Honestly, I almost forgot about this amazing project.

For newcomers – and for me – could you please comment on how to get hold of the ‘beotooth’.
Any chance that it might be possible to buy a fully assembled item (for non-tinkerers/only music listeners)?

Thank you for sharing your findings/your setup.

I am sure this can be helpfull for many ‘Theatre-users’ – a lot of inspiring stuff there.

This is how it is described in the User Guide

…and that is how I have done it several times (most people want a turntable connected).

Plug in the Behringer to the USB of the Master 5 – connect L/R of your choosen device (the WiiM)…..

Why go for the WiiM Ultra, why not just the cheaper WiiM Pro??

That will offer you all that you need….and in addition AirPlay 2 (if you need that).

As you probably already know…you can easily order the WiiM device via Amazon and send it back, if you don’t like how it works.
No risk there.

Since the USB on the BM5 can only be used for the external soundcard/the Behringer, you will have to use the analog L/R input for connecting the WiiM via the L/R output there.

To my knowledge there is no way to connect directly via the USB.
However, I did not try it – nor have I heard anyone else do that.
Why not try it yourself and report back here.

 

P.S.

What is wrong with using the L/R’s for connecting the WiiM/what are your concerns there?

Try one of these.

Two are for in and 2 are for out.
You only need a 5-pin plug.

The one that you have tried probably only allows for outcoming signals from the Century…..due to how the DIN plug is made.

The short answer is: yes!

But there is no need to buy one with the ‘joystick’.

I do not think that a registration from abroad should be a problem.

Just try it, and you will find out!

However, not every seller is willing to ship out of Denmark.

You could start reading this – especially the section on NetworkLink:

Hi Stan – good move 😉

Sure it can, but that gives us only ‘double stereo’.

What most people are waiting for is, that it may function as a Digital PowerLink <u>receiver</u>, though.

Sorry…….but are you sure, that you are in the right thread 🤔

Thank you for pointing to this great tutorial ✔️

Toggling between modes on the BROne/bt is a pia….
….not much WAF in that.

“BLC (NL/ML converter) between the Core and the BV6”.
That is exactly what the converter is/was made for – for bridging between old and new Beolink….in order to make controlling simple.
The only thing to consider there is, that the BLC needs a wired network connection!

Another option would be to push a little further to get the wife to accept a BV11-40….
…..I am sure that in the end she will be happy with that 🤗

No, this is not the way the BL8000 are supposed to work.

It is either or!

There is even a physical switch for choosing the input.
So, no automatic switching there.

This said…..
……if you want to connect both, you will have to manually connect/switch between the two connections.

P.S.  The newer BL speakers have this ability of auto switching in a prioritized sequenze.

P.P.S.

There are a couple of companies, that make powerlink switch boxes.
A ‘google search’ will tell you more.
