Hi folks

I have searched for answers on this but have gone in circles. Hopefully someone can offer some thoughts.

I have a Beolab 3500 link speaker in my kitchen connected via Masterlink to an Ouverture in my lounge. The Ouverture is also linked to my BV10 and speakers in the lounger via Masterlink.

At the moment, I select Link from the List button on the Beo 4 and then I can select CD or DTV etc to listen to the lounge source in the kitchen.

I would like to add a DAB tuner to the Ouverture, connected via one of the din cables into the Aux socket. I assume that if I stand in the lounge and select A Aux, I will get DAB radio through my BV10 speakers in the lounge. But what if I want to hear the A Aux source in the kitchen? How do I get the A Aux to transmit to the Link speaker? Is that possible?

One option is to simply swap the Ouverture for a Beosound 4 so I can then simply select Link and then Radio but I have a slight nostalgic attachment to the Ouverture and am reluctant to lose it (yes, I know I could keep it and put it in another room!).

Thank you for any help.

If your Beolab 3500 is at software version 3.33, then you should be able to select A.AUX on it and get the DAB sound from the Overture.  It's explained here: https://archivedarchivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/36474/302442.aspx#302442

Look at Keith's post on 10 Jan.

It depends how much you are willing to spend on a DAB radio, but you could always buy one from here to allow full control via the B&O remote.  https://shop.oneremote.dk/en/

I have one of their older internet radios and was able to control it from other rooms, albeit using the older MCL system rather than Masterlink.

In the end, I bought one of the radios from Oneremote.dk. Absolutely superb little device. Full Bluetooth, Spotify, and DAB/internet radio access. It has given my link speaker a new lease of life. Thanks for the advice.
