Hi everyone.
Quick question please. is the MCL2P amp ok to use with a Beosound 3000 to drive passive speakers or do I need anything else with it? Whole system will be in the same room, so no extra speakers etc being driven in another room. Do I need an extra ir receiver or just a power link cable? (Sorry that's more than 1 question..)
Thought I would ask you knowledgeable people before parting with my hard earned cash.
Thanks.
Graeme.

Hi Graeme,
If you use the beosound and the speakers in the same room, you just need a powerlink cable, but beware, the powerlink must be a MK2.
You can order one to Steve from soundsheavenly, you won't have any surprise.I met someone who ask for a MK2 to his local b&o dealer and the cable didn't work at all.
Best regards

Thanks everyone. Wasn't sure if I needed any extra receivers.Mk2 power link came with the Beosound 3000 thankfully.
Thanks again for advice.
You may find that the 'mute' function doesn't work - it doesn't for my son's BC2300 in a similar set up. I raised a thread about it a while back and apparently there is no internal muting in the MCL2P: http://archivedarchivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/35573.aspx
