Finally I managed to setup the Beotooth 5500, that I received from pilatomic 4 weeks ago.
Not an easy job, when you are a friend of hidden cabling and the setup is rather complicated – and done ages ago ( you know….which cable goes where 🤔)
The setup of the Beotooth was indeed the easiest part of the job.My setup is somewhat different than most of the buyers and that of pilatomic himself, I am sure.
My BM6500/CD6500 combo is connected to a 1611 converter and into my NL/ML Converter.
The rest of the setup is exclusively NetworkLink based in 6 rooms, the BV Theatre setup being the main part.So not that I was in need of the Bluetooth option…..
…..but I thought that the Beotooth was a fun project and wanted to try it at home.
To see if it works (which I supposed) – and primarily to see, if there are some benefits in a setup like mine.And I must say, that there are!
Not that I would need it, but it seems to be a nice to have option.
And now I know that I can recommend it to friends.Since my 6500 system has no speakers connected – it just pipes the sources into the NL/ML Converter and from there into the multiroom setup – the daily use/controlling is different than with the ‘normal setup’.
Starting playback on my iPhone – of course – activates the A-Tape input on the Beomaster.
To get sound in whatever room I need it, I hit JOIN on the Beoremote One or use the Bang & Olufsen app to expand to the room, I want playing (or the rooms).From there (every room playing) I can Pause and Play and skip track.
My trusted old Beoplay V1 tv even shows the source – in this case A.Mem – and the track number.
Switching between Beotooth/A.Tape and CD playback also works as intended.
I can even start Playback of the iPhone directly from the given room, using the app or the Beoremote One.It is fun 😃
And this again shows the power of the B&O setups – here a combination of device generations spanning from the 1990’s to recent B&O Mozart-based products….
….combined with the skills of someone like pilatomic.
Which other brand can do this!So, thank you pilatomic – and I hope this may be an inspiration for other B&O enthusiasts.

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.MMTry 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.
