Re: MCL 2P does it only work with BS2300 & BS2500?

As long as you use a fully wired PL cable the MCL2P or similar amp boxes (BL Passive or ML/MCL converter) should work in any PL socket.

Certainly the 2300, 2500, 3000, 3200 and Ouverture will all work. It is a standard method of using Passive speakers in an Active only situation.

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies.

So either my Mark 2 PL is knackered or its not a proper Mark 2! :-(

Cheers

I don't see why it shouldn't work for rear surround but that wasn't the question!!!!!!

I know it needs a fully wired powerlink cable, but will it not work if plugged into a powerlink socket for rear surround on an avant??

No problem at all with one of my MCL2P's here.

Connected to a beolink active the MCL2P drives a pair of Beovox2000's in the bathroom.

You must connect the MCL2P to the BS7000 or Ouverture with a MK2 or sometimes called a "fully wired" powerlink cable.

No other type will work.

My test system is a Beomaster 6500 and that works with all the amps, as long as the correct powerlink cable is used.

Hi all,

I bought one of these to use to drive a couple of BeoVox's off of a PowerLink connection, i.e. as a very basic stand alone amp, nothing else.

Now the person I bought this off was using it with their BS 2300 or 2500 - can't remember which one now, BUT I can't get it to 'kick in', i.e. red to green light when I've tried this on both a BS7000 and an Overture.

I've tried various PL cable combinations, and it still refuses to work.

The seller bought another one of these round to help test and this one had exactly the same results - Smeg All!!!!! :-(

So is it just a rubbish bit of kit only for the BS23(5)00 or do I have more problems than I realise?

Any ideas anyone?
