Hello Stan,

I think it is a cool thing of B&O to make the various generations of BeoLink networks  co-operate! I am not sure about the Spotify question (I don’t use that) but for the other questions:

2. yes, once passed onto ML, the NL audio sources can be listened to on all the ML devices, for the BL3500 you best use a (Beo4) remote control, though the button on the 3500 will work as a ‘join’ button or will activate the last chosen source. Still you will need a remote for volume control.

3. When the BS9000 is in the correct option, it will react to BeoRemote One (when it is used in IR mode if it is a BlueTooth BT model). You will be able to select NL sources that are passed through by the BLC

4. you can

5. there is indeed a specific mentioning in the manual, saying “The Source Center role can only be used if no BeoMaster 5 is installed on Master Link as Audio Master or Source Center (AudioMaster = No).” but as you have no ML TV in the ML network, I think there is no problem at all with using BM5/BS5

6. that means you can set the BLC as V Master

B&O is not updating software anymore afaik. I will see to send you a pdf copy of the BLC manual (I think it is not available on the manuals section of BeoWorld). Have a look into that, it might seem complicated but I trust that with a bit of help here you can join the products and enjoy them even more!

Regards, Johan

EDIT – I just saw Carolpa answering too! He has helped me to get my two BLCs working (thanks again!) and is very knowledgeable. Indeed I have bought two BLCs to overcome some command conflicts. I use one to purely pass CD onto NL (and avoid I have two devices reacting to PHONO = N.RADIO commands)

Hello shanss and welcome.
Because of the tape failing with age, many of those glass plates fall and break. I had the same and was able to find a donor plate on a BM4500 that electronically died. That could be an option maybe?
I know that a member of the old forum, Leslie, made replacement plates some time ago. He is not active on the forum anymore, but it could be you can find him on facebook.

Hello stotty1111, mine had the same issue (and probably many more speakers with such a metal grill like BeoLab 7-1 etc.). I decided to just take it off, clean the plastic frame and re-attach the metal plate with a good quality narrow and thin double sided tape.

Hi Thorsten,

I might be able to help with settings that I have in my BLCs. I cannot help with settings in the A6 as I am not familiar with that (nice!) device. At ‘Settings’, have you got ‘ML enabled’ ticked?

If you did not get it working yet, let me know and we can exchange maybe some screen dumps of the BLC settings.

Regards, Johan

Hi Thorsten, this should be possible! Let me try to send you the NL/ML converter (aka BLC) manual. I think it should be set as a Video Master (as the BeoSound 9000 is already the Audio Master in your ML network). Google the old forum for BLC. I also found some good support there a while ago. Regards, Johan

BeoCom in Inventing Anna

And Penta’s, Ouverture, BeoVision 1 and BeoCom 6000 in (a Dutch series about the late eighties) Dirty Lines. One of the characters clearly liked his B&O.

B&O at work. With some Ikea, Eames and Dell in the home office mix. I gave this BC6-26 a little TLC with speakerring repair, new fret cloth and a silent fan. Now I can use it as a monitor! Nice when playing a video! Need to tidy up the cabling now.

I remember you said that when you did save my 8000s 🙂
Still very happy with them. Good to see you take such care to keep the speakers as close to original as possible.

Hello MOONMAN,

I would believe it is possible with a BeoMaster that has an MCL connection. You can then use a BLC (BeoLink Converter NL/ML) to link to the BeoSound stage.

It would be quite a chain:

BeoGram 8002 – (optionally pre-amp with datalink) – BeoMaster – Converter 1611 MCL/ML – BeoLink Converter NL/ML – BeoSound Stage

With a BeoMaster with built in pre-amp (some BeoMaster 4500s have that), you could skip a box (I am not sure if more recent BeoSounds that have a MasterLink connection can control BeoGrams through their AUX sockets). It will also require some persistence to program the BLC. But unless I oversee something I believe it could work.

See this link: https://bangolufsenassistentgohe.blob.core.windows.net/manuals/APPS_AND_ACCESSORIES/BEOLINK_CONVERTER_NL.ML/BeoLink_Converter_sheet.pdf

They are only available second hand. In the Netherlands they go for 200-300 euro.
