Dear forum members
In a setup like shown in the picture (source: Beolink Handbook V1.7, scenario 7), just replacing the Moment with an Essence MK2, do I have to check the "Integrated setup" flag in the Beomusic App for the Essence? The reason why I'm asking are some strange behaviours joining the Beovision and the Essence in a Multiroom scenario.
Many thanks for any help
settings for the Essence MK2 in the Beomusic App
Hello Reto :-)
I think the issue is created from 2 different technologies.
The BeoVision 10 is a Master Link (analogue) product and the Essence Mk 2 is a Network Link (digital) product.
You could give a dealer a call as I'm guessing here that you would need a BEOLINK NL/ML CONVERTER
This versatile product can serve multi- ple functions simultaneously, including bridging sound and control between the new digital Network Link and the analog Master Link system. Furthermore, the BeoLink NL/ML Converter adds an ex- tra speaker zone to any Master Link or Network Link system, including individu- al source select and control, to perfectly synchronise sound throughout a home.
Hello Michael
I didn't mention it explicitly, but there is a NL/ML converter setup as described in the Beolink bible. Sorry, my fault.
Hi,
Oh, ok :-) What is your issue ? is there a time lapse?
I would check integrated set up flag
did you also check "Join Setup" Allows you to join a multi room experience?
> Settings > Beolink > Join Setup
Join setup disappears once you check the "integration setup" flag
If I did understand that correctly --- when you integrate the device with the BV, it becomes part of that.
You would have to 'join' these sources from there, I guess.
But do remember, that if you 'integrate' the Essence, you won't be able to use Spotify Connect and AirPlay. As a workaround you could connect a Chromecast Audio/a Playmaker to the Line-in of the Essence.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
One of the problems I encountered is that I can't pause or resume playing while selecting Beovision 10 in the list. If ones the music is started I'm able to switch the channel (tunein), jump to the next song (deezer) or change the volume. But I’m not capable of pause or resume playing. This all works fine with the Beoremote one.
I would expect selecting Beovision 10 (from the list) followed by pressing the pause button would stop playing. Hence pushing the play button would resume the music. But this does not work. I have to select the BeoSound Essence from list, and then pause and resume works.
