Does anybody know if a beolink wireless system S/T can be used to connect masterlink from an audio and a videomaster - thus connecting them without cable ?
Yes, if your talking about the Beolink Wireless1, its purpose was to create "wireless masterlink". If you search hard (possibly in the archived forum), there was an inter-operability matrix posted once. It showed which devices worked with which other devices via the wireless. I believe by the time of the final software rev, most ML functionality was available to most devices. I had my BV8, BS9000 and BS5 (wired) connected to a BeoLink Active via wireless. When it worked, it was great. However, it wasn't very reliable. It would cut out for no reason and require frequent resets to make it work. I eventually gave up and switched to a Beosound Essence (and just listened to Spotify in my link room).
I'm afraid to sell my old wireless equipment for fear of having to deal with a disappointed buyer.
Hi Erik-nl,
Yes, this should be possible but as Stan mentioned the reliability of the Beolink Wireless can be variable. If you are able to run a direct Masterlink cable directly between the two products instead of going wireless, this will always give you the best results:-
