Did you check the settings of the BLC? I have several in operation, one having a similar set up like you do: BS 4500 —> Converter 1611 —> BLC —> NL Network. Sometimes the mapping of the sources and IR commands has been changed without any action taken from my side. If I reprogram, everything is working again.
Kind regards,

The BL 10 is designed as a center speaker for use with the BV 4. The bass is existing, but not comparable to a sub. If you are looking for a sub, the B&O choices are BL 2, 11, 14, 19 and S8.

Together with my wall mounted Eclipse 65 I am using a pair of BL 18 (same as Severed_hand_of_skywalker in his great setup). I cannot compare to a pair of BL 28 and what you like is mostly related to your hearing habits. Personally, I do not like it too much, when the bass in a movie shakes my furniture. Having used my combo until recently without a sub as well, I agree that I do not miss any bass listening to movies or music.
Out of curiosity I added a S8. This should be power wise a close match to the BL 19. It is also a downfiring sub and I have a wooden floor, having had no complaints about it when in use. I rarely use it, because the bass of the BL 18 usually is completely satisfying for me.
When checking the sound, I use the same songs with the different speaker set ups. E. g. you can compare the treble really well when listening to the first tunes of Pink Floyd’s „High Hopes (Early Version 1994)“. For bass there are many choices, a good one for me is Freya Ridings „Lost without you“. In between 1:25 and 1:30 a deep bass sets in. For a movie I would take e. g. Transformers sequels.
Whatever your decision will be, have fun and enjoy!
Kind regards

Hi Marcel,
congrats to your excellent purchase! You can check the website of Steve at Sounds Heavenly, just click the sponsor logo above. He offers a cable for two input devices in one Aux-in socket: „7 PIN AUX SPLITTER – DUAL AUX / TAPE INPUT SOCKETS“. So it is possible to connect two devices at the same time to one Aux-in socket (I am using such a cable as described by Steve in the text with a converter and an Essence connected to the Aux-in of my BeoMaster 4500). Not sure if the one you got does fit, but this one should do the job, just ask Steve.
The combo of a BS 3200 with the BG 4500 is really nice. I did this once with my BS 3000, when it was not possible to install the whole BeoSystem 4500. From my own experience 😁: You could add a BM 4500 to the set and use it as a system of its own – in this case you can remote control the single units, even the BG.
In any case, enjoy your great set up!
Kind regards,
Rolf

From s/w 2.2 onwards N.MUSIC and N.RADIO ability has been introduced in the BS 9000. Maybe it refers to the fact, if you have a s/w lower than that, it will not be possible to transmit those two sources from the BM 5 via BS 9000, hence, it is limited to the none Internet sources?
However, this would not be consistent when it comes to the BS 3000. N.MUSIC and N.RADIO have been introduced with s/w 2.0, s/w 2.12 was a later update solving some functional issues. There is a nice overview of the BS 3000 s/w history from oneremote stating this.

“I am not sure if it helps, but the attached document suggests that the Mk1 and Mk2 BS9000 require a min software level of SW2.2 in order to get full source centre compatibly. I am not sure that I fully understand what that means!”
Guy, that´s a very useful overview, nice document!

Hm, habe das noch mal geprüft. Für die MK II Version sind die meisten Aussagen so, daß für das Abspielen von N.RADIO und N.MUSIC ebenfalls ein Software Upgrade erforderlich ist.
Spielt jedoch für die Verbindung mit einem BLC wie bereits geschrieben keine Rolle.
Location: GermanyFavourite Product: It is obvious ….My B&O Icons:
Hallo Horst,
die BS 9000 gibt es als MK I, II und III Version. Die letzteren beiden können meines Wissens nach in einem ML Netzwerk als Audio Master N.MUSIC und N.RADIO abspielen. MK I kann das, ohne eine Aufrüstung der Software, nicht.
Der BLC NL/ML verbindet das ML Netzwerk mit dem NL Netzwerk. Somit ist diese Verbindung vom Softwarestand des Gerätes unabhängig, soweit ein ML Anschluß vorhanden ist. Du solltest Deine BS 9000 mit dem BV 11 via BLC verbinden können.
Ich habe meine BS 9000 (MK III, s/w 3.1) über einen BLC in mein ML/NL Netzwerk integriert. Wenn Du den BLC entsprechend konfigurierst, kannst Du über den BV 11 CD ansteuern, geht auch in der B&O App.
Herzliche Grüße,
Rolf

is that truly so?
Unfortunately so 🤣
WOW! That is VERY fortunate 😃😅😁👍👍👍! Thank you so much!!!! Still need some time believing this happens ….
Really, really GREAT, thank you for the incredible and priceless opportunity visiting B&O at its 100th anniversary. Looking forward to the trip, meeting you and my lucky, fellow beoworlders.
Congratulations to all others who have also been chosen to visit Struer!

I have just viewed the draw and I have seen my name ranking at #9. I can read but cannot believe – is that truly so?

This is a disease!
Yes! Successfully contaminated my nephew 😁.
It is contagious but can be treated – strict discipline from wife/partner required!
Also a yes, but it only can be contained, never cured.
I attach a few pictures
Oh my, I only recognized that BeoGram christmas tree when it was mentioned by kirin …. I was too overwhelmed by the sheer number of branches and fruits …. great!

The simple option would be to buy this house but it is just missing that one extra room just for me and my stuff 😀
Are you sure, is it one room only 😂?
Location: GermanyFavourite Product: It is obvious ….My B&O Icons:
Very nice. I always liked the Beolab 3000/4500/5000 flat panel speakers, and would also like to get a pair, but they are very hard to fit into the attic room.
I really love those speakers. The displays are quite a show and at the same time equally useful. Can´t you hang a pair in another room, assuming that you have audio / video equipment not only in the BeoCave?
Can you use the MCP’s with the Beocenter 9500 (is it a 9500?) or are they just collectors items?
They are only recently added pieces. Beginning in spring last year, I looked closer at the B&O stacked systems of the 80´s / 90´s, which I have been ignoring before. I got me some BS 6500 and 7000 components, which are partly in need of repair and have been added to my project list. So it is with the 2 MCP´s:
The 5500 is controlling the BC 9500 (good eye :-)) incl. the BeoGram when using the Control, Source and middle section of the keys. Turning the wheel, I receive always the left and right red signs on the display, and sporadically occuring green lights for sound, but it does nothing. “No contact” will flash after a while. Same thing if I use a BeoMaster 7000 with fitting BeoCord. According to the respective threads, I guessed a defective opto, so ordered one from Danish Sound Parts. This work still has to be done.
The 6500 also controls the BC 9500 in the same way as the 5500. With the exception that I can also control the volume up and down most of the times. Has to be tested with a fitting BeoMaster.
For both MCP the status indicator and the hidden controls behind the lid, like Balance, Bass, Treble, etc., are not working. And I receive the message “no contact”.
Hidden in the upper shelf, which is not visible, is another MCP 5500. This clearly has to be cleaned inside before it can be tested.

Beosound 5 and Moment anyone?
No BS 5, but I own a Moment. I really like this piece, but sadly, it sits in its box since the tablet no longer works properly.

My, Madskap and Peter, now that is a joy to behold! Excellent collections. I only have a fraction of that but already struggle to store my B&O in our house and its rooms. I really like that Beocave in the attic, cozy and full of iconic B&O, with lovely details like e. g. the Beo 4 and BL 1000 MK III (?) held in wall brackets, framing the window and the starship.
I hope I may add some pictures of the B&O I use and have installed in my office at home. It is my working space, but also my own special room to use, repair and test my new and old B&O, for watching movies or sports. As you can see, it is a combination of different eras, systems, speakers and other units of the B&O world.
Adding the rear speakers to the combo:

In the old BeoMusic App the BV 10 is displayed as an icon. In the new app this functionality seems to be no longer active, as I, as well, get only the BLC on display.
I have not set up my BLGW properly for all my rooms, yet. However, for those I did, I get e. g. the BS 9000 icon in the respective room, either in the BeoLink 2 or in the BeoLiving app. So I guess, it is likely to get the BV 10 icon as well in both of them.
Kind regards,

Hi Jonathan,
I have a BeoSystem 4500 using a BL 11 with two BL 3 for audio output. The 11 is connected to the BM 4500 via PL and from there the BL 3 are connected via PL as well. Works like a charm and is sounding so, so great. I have no experience with the BL 2, but here in the forum (mostly archived forums, I guess) are a lot of opinions available, stating that it is best for movies / blockbuster, whereas the 11 is best for music.
Since a couple of weeks, I am testing a S8 connected to my BV Eclipse (+ BL 18 + BL 4000) and it adds nice bass to the set up.
IMHO, the BL 11 would be a very good solution for your set up.
Kind regards,
Rolf
