Two weeks ago I was able to bought a 10 meter-long MCL cable from my local B&O shop. Price was 45 EUR. The cable looked like brand new so I guess they are still in production (or they have a huge stock of these left).
Today I finally had time and courage to work on this. The main problem was the relay inside the BC that I should replace before having any sensible use for the MCL system.
I took the BC9000 open and replaced the faulty relay (that had forced me to use the speakers 2- plugs in the main room as the relay wouldn't give equal output on both channels). As some of you might remember, I had a shocking experience year ago when I tried to replace it, I made some stupid mistakes and poof, smoke and bang! I had to take the BC to the official B&O service and they fixed it; it costed some 700 EUR! That was not the BM I had now, but since that I wished to have one and finally I bought the one I have now. But because of the shocking experience I didn't have much courage to start replacing the relay.... until now.
Replacement went Ok and the BC is working nicely. I was so relieved!
I made a quick test by running the MCL wire to another room with small speakers... connected them up... and test: it works! Even the installation was very quickly made and looked horrible I was still able to feel the highly practical approach and the magic this kind of system could give in a better installation. Some day when I have more space I will love to hook this thing up and enjoy it....
And Mico, yes, I am already bitten by the BeoBug. Eventhough I don't have much use for a multiroom installation I still have a lot of B&O stuff around and no intention to stop collecting.... I will send you a PM about the manuals.
