Hello,
In some weeks I will have the Beosound essence. I would like to know what the best way slave or master ?
I have a Beosound 4 , HP computer , Android Samsung telephone, Samsung Tab 3 and a Sony TV.
2 Beolab 3 and 1 Beolab 11.
Have a good day.
Wondering what you mean by 'slave or master'???
Normally the terms 'slave and master' are represententing how devices in a MasterLink-seup acts.
This is different in the NL-world!
You might say that there are only 'masters' in a B&O networklink setup.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Thanks.
I would like to know the best to connect the Beosound 4, the beolab 11 et 3, and the TV (with RCA). Sorry, for y bad English.
Thats perfectly ok!
One way you could do it, is to use the PowerLink-out (you'll need an adapter cable) to connect the Essence-box to the Aux-input of your BS4.
Note: the Essence will have to be configured as 'fixed line-out' and you won't be able to use the 'wheely-remote' for volume controlling! This will have to be done with the BS4.
The Essence has a line-in connection, which has autosense (means it turns on when a signal is detected).
This can be used for the connection of the tv - RCA out (volumen fixed - controlled via the BS4).
Your speakers then connected to the BS4 = BS4 -> BL11 -> BL3.
The functions/sources of the Essence must be controlled via the BeoMusic app respectively with the 'wheely'.
Look here for further inspiration:

@JPV
Just wondering, - with the B&O products listed, where would the Essence come into play?
What are you trying to achieve?

I have an Essence connected to the aux in on my Beosound 5. I can use the volume wheel in the app to adjust volume although I have a maximum volume set in the settings of the BeoSetup App. If the volume is set to high on the Essence there is distortion and and static in the sound. Maybe I have it set up wrong?

Took a look at my settings in the BeoSetup app. If I select Line Out Level, it says Use Power Link socket for connection to anode system instead. I am using the Power Link socket to connect to the Beomaster 5?
@Razlaw
I have the box: 'connect...to another system' ticked.
The volume-output is fixed and has to controlled by the BM (to which it is connected/Aux-in),
and it is how I want it.
I have no 'wheely' right now to test it, but I can't imagine that the volume control there should do anything, since the same control in the app also does nothing.
It wouldn't be desireable to have two volume controls in one system either!
By the way - this is example 3 in the above linked document!!!
Thanks, for this complète answer.
When I receive the Beosound essence, I will say to you how I configured it.
Thanks all
Sure that would be a(nother) way to use it.
Since I still have a couple of masterlinked rooms (and even a MCL-room), I choose to do it the other way 'round.
That way I have the sources of the Essence available in all rooms...
....including in the room with my new (second) tv, the V1-32 (without having to use the converter).
The Essence is a very 'flexible' device - fits in everywhere ;-))
Thanks CB.

How configure the beosound esence for use the "wheely remote" volume ?
Thanks
Hi,
How to " fixe line-out" on the Essence? Can you give me the solution?

Bonjour JpV
Il faut d'abord appairer la télécommande (en bluetooth) avec l'Essence. C'est détaillé dans le petit guide fourni avec la télécommande, ou téléchargeable chez B&O.
Ensuite... C'est tout !
JpV:How to " fixe line-out" on the Essence? Can you give me the solution?
Dans les paramètres de l'Essence, avec l'application BeoSetup impérativement (donc pas l'App Beomusic), il faut régler le volume sur le mode "hôtel".
Mais alors le niveau du son ne sera plus réglable avec la télécommande...
Merci pour la réponse rapide. Je voi cela demain.

Thank you all. It work well.
Have a good Day.
