Hi - thanks for your quick answer, that is service and your welcome!

Now I have only two ML cables (one for the transmitter and from the Avant) - so I need a third one, and the dealer could have well told me that, as I asked him exactly that.

You need to connect every thing to the box with ML BC2, Avant and the Wireless (set to transmit)

Hi all

As new joiner, I am reading with myself with interest through the forum - and there is already a topic that concerns me as well.

The background - I am operating a BeoCenter2 with a B&O Avant TV, and have the loudspeakers BL6000 and BL3 to it - now I want to have a wireless connection to my new BL3 operating in another room in the flat. The B&O shop sold me a ML distributor (the same as shown in earlier pictures in the threat with the sockets audio, video and 4 links). Usually, the ML from the TV is attached to the socket of the BeoCenter2, but then I cannot operate the wireless, if I attach the ML to the wireless one, my BeoCenter2 does not work on the loudspeakers.

The ML distributor does not help much - or, do I need to attach the ML Distributor with an own ML cable to the socket of my BeoCenter2? That was not was the dealer told me... complicated? I still hope some of you has an idea.

Regards, Pat

I have used one of them with 100m+ in total, no problem there...

Well, I'd still like to know the product number for the rightmost picture in Keith Saunders' post.

THanks!

If you have more than 20 m of cable in total, the big junction box, that is normally reserved for shops (so that they can easily connect and disconnect their equipments in the store) may not work.

The little connection boxes connect 2 wires additionaly and provide more voltage.

I have more than 20m and it works with the big box, but if you are experiencing problems with slow ML then you need at list one small junction box in the whole ML network.

Hmmm, the results I got when plugging it in didn't give me the impression that it was purely a junction box. I'll have to try it again.

The picture above is what I have: the dsitributor. One can slightly make out the labels above the ML receptacles in the picture: From left to right: Audio, Video, Link 1, Link 2, Link 3, Link 4. If they weren't relegated to LINK only that would be what I am looking for.

-Sal

What do you mean? the Label on the box is just a guide, it makes no difference if you plug your BS9000 in Video or Link1, link 2... it's just a junction box!

Santiago:
I use the white version (3132220) of the model which Keith have shown the picture just above, and it works simply great, I did myself all the connections of 4 ML cables (the maximum it supports) BV+BS+Beoport+BLActive;
30 minutes to strip carefully all the ML wires, and 5 minutes to fix them in the box.
I don't know the price because it was a gift from my dealer (so I can imagine it will be really cheap )

Santiago, the US retail for the small junction box is $15, relatively cheap for B & O standards, but I'll pay more for convenience any day.

In Keith Saunders' post above, if I see it correctly, the rightmost "junction box" has 6 ports for plugging in Masterlink cables. Is the part number that Jazz posted: 3634001 that exact box?

Will this box allow me to string together multiple shorter lengths of ML cable to make one long continuous cable, as well as split it where needed to connect to items in the same room without splicing?

Again, please tell me if 3634001 is the correct part number, and I'm calling my dealer ASAP!
