Hello beoteam
I have today received my beautiful CX50's from Lifestyle and they are perfect.Last week I received my Passive from Ebay and Today the cables from Steve @ Sounds Heavenly to connect the Essence to the Passive.
Yesterday I ordered an Essence MK2 and KaBoom the lead time is currently 22nd Feb.
It has knocked me off my happy place.
Think I need to source a 5Pin Din cable to make it into a Headphone Jack and Trigger cable.
Nearly there
Eclipse 65V1-32Beosound M5Essence MK2BLI
Sounds good!
What's the 'trigger cable' for? Don't you just need an RJ45 to Powerlink?

Hello Guy
I have the cable already for the passive to the essence but the essence wont arrive for some weeks.
I would like to perhaps use the passive with a cable for audio from my iphone but the cable needs a triggar to switch the passive on and off.
Only a temp solution
Oh I see. Makes perfect sense. Did you get rid of your Playmaker or did you never have one?
Even more annoying the iPhone 7 does not have a headphone jack
Back to the drawing board
Has Steve at Sounds Heavenly not produced an Apple Lightning to PowerLink (with built in trigger) cable yet?
Seanie_230:Back to the drawing board
Connect the Passive with PL (fully wired to be sure the Passive is triggered) to f.e. the BS. Connect the Voxes to the Passive. Start listening
Hi Seanie
B&O Wilmslow have Essence mk2 in stock. I can post one to you tomorrow if you call us.

The CX50 is a small speaker - don't expect much bas from them.
Way back then it was launched in a combination with the Cona (the passive sub).
If you could get hold on one of those, it surely would help.
However, where should one place that in a kitchen ;-(
P.S. did you have a look at the speaker units in the 50'es?
Are they still fine?

Seanie_230:So switching off the Apple iPhone plug does not shut off the amp. The only thing that tells the amp to switch off is to pull the USB cable from the Apple plug. Any thoughts? Sean
Any thoughts?

You need a cable like this http://soundsheavenly.com/input/75--trigger-beolink-trs-.html

Hello All
My essence arrived today and I will be connecting it up shortly when I arrive home.
I have a question, which speaker should be chosen in the list when using a Passive and CX50?
I could use Beovox 1 would that be right, I dont want to limit any bass.
Also on the Beomusic app it shows spotify and Chromecast even know I have disabled them as local devices, How can these be removed.
Excited Sean
Seanie_230:I have set it up with Beovox1 as the CX50 is not in the list.
Congrats Sean,
I'm using ceiling speakers from B&W, and have pointed the Essence to Beovox 2.
But if I'm now pointing to BL3 or any other speaker, I don't hear a difference. My guess is that this setting does not matter if you're using a Passive amp.
