Hello,
I need some help about the integration of a BeoSound Essence mk2 in a ML system.
I write this as an user of a 100% ML system for about 15 years. In this time the system had two mayor upgrades.
My current setup is now as follows:
MAIN ROOM:
- AUDIO MASTER: BeoSystem7000 complete + Penta3 + BeoSound Essence MK2 (connected to "tape2" of Beomaster 7000 via Soundsheavenly aux cable) + Master Control Panel 6500
- VIDEO MASTER: BeoVision 7 40 MK6 + VHS V8000 + HDR1 + WesternDigital TV + Humax HDR FOX T2 (as a BV7 internal dtv backup) + BEO 6
LINK ROOM 1:
- BEOLAB 3500 + BEO4
LINK ROOM 2:
- BEOVISION MX 7000 + BEO4
LINK ROOM 3
- Empty – (free ML plug)
As you can see, at the moment, I can “pull” TuneIn, Deezer and NAS’ mp3 from BS Essence (main room) to link room 1 and 2 by pressing atape2 on the local Beo4 (and then I can control BS Essence sources with BeoMusic on my Android device). I can also wake up with TuneIn in my bedroom setting a daily atape2 timer on the BV7, as long as BS Essence is always on.
Following this very interesting post about BS9000 and Beolink Multiroom (via BeoMusic app) http://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/22951.aspx , I was wondering what would happen if I move the Beosound Essence in the Link Room 3 (already masterlinked) and add a NL/ML converter there (and maybe a pair of Beolabs connected to the Essence).
Here are my main (random) questions about this potential upgrade:
- Could I see all my ML products in the BeoMusic app (different squares in the multiroom page) and control (for instance) all my BeoSystem 7000 sources (CD, radio, atape, phono … ) with BeoMusic app and distribute them in any room?
- As for BV7 sources (DTV, vtape etc…): doing this way, would I gain some sort of control with BeoMusic app as well?
- Can the Beolink app help me some more (= would it add some more control to my system) ?
Thanks anyone for support.

The NL system cannot determine which ML device is in which room

i might be wrong, but the beolink-app requires a Gateway, not the Converter. Settings with the Converter are endless, i needed a lot of try and error plus the manual plus the informations supplied here and combined with the settings of the NL-products there are a lot of possibilities. in my setup for example the CD- and Radiobutton of the Beolab 2000 are fixed to the Beosound 3000, but i'm free to set the TV-button on every NL-source, in my case it pulls TuneIn from the A6, going further with the buttons of the Beo4 where the DVD-button pulls HDMI3 from my Avant......

StKong: egges: i might be wrong, but the beolink-app requires a Gateway, not the Converter. Can anyone confirm this?

Carolpa:right
each NL/ML converter appears as one unit within the Beomusic-app as each NL-product like the Essence, the A9 appears as an unit. i guess it's helpful to get a converter for each ML-source but others could tell more about it for i have just one BS 3000.

a screenshot on how the converter appears in the BeoMusic app
and, due to your products and settings, your sources available (i´m with iOS/apple). you can skip back/forth, pause/play and have volume control. for i have no speakers connected with the BeoSound 3000 and the converter i have to start the speakers manually either with the Beo4 or the buttons of the IR-eye and the BeoLab 2000
to have more control you can use the BeoRemote app
works like a Beo4 or BeoRemote 1
a short view in the set up of my converter
here i did the assignment of Beo4´s buttons
unfortunately you have to click on the fotos to have the whole picture. of course, i can only tell about my experiences with my humble set up and the needs and habits i have but i´m sure you´ll get a great bunch of possibilities
