    BeoLink Pass. vs. ML/MCL conv.

    Hi,

    Are there any difference between the BeoLink Passive box (type 1656) and the ML/MCL Convertor box (type 1651)?

    Re: BeoLink Pass. vs. ML/MCL conv.

    Yes there is, the passive has been designed for use in a beolink system to utilise passive lous speakers in a link room  or outdoors. The Ml/MCL you would use to connect passive loud speakers direct to one of the audio systems for example a 3200/3000, as the audio does not have in-built amplification

     

    hope this helps you out

    This is from the specs, but they look just the same.... with IR eye and ML used as Beolink Passive for Link Rooms, without the eye and using the powerlink connection as an amplifier. So to me they are interchangable...

    Can anybody confirm this?

    Yes indeed,the ML/MCL converter and Passive are in fact the same beast,and very versatile too! Simply connecting a ML sensor to the unit,converts it to a Beolink Passive,where you have independant volume,bass and treble control.Without the sensor,the unit can be used as a slave amplifier,say to drive passive speakers from Powerlink connections.Also of course,the unit can be used to convert ML to MCL,and vice versa,eg.when installing current product in a house wired for MCL using passive speakers!

    A clever box of tricks?

    Regards,

    Nick

    Thank you all for your replies. I'm definitely going to by such a versatile box.

    Picking up an old thread... 

    I tried to use a Beolink Passive with a 7-pin Audio Aux Link cable connected to my BS3000.

    It worked fine but does anyone know if it's safe to use this cable?

    The manual sais that it should be a 8-pin Powerlink and the 8th pin in the center of the Power Link is for Power failure/Overload so this is what's missing.

    Yes it works fine, your data link cable has all the connections thats needed,
