Hello Beoworlder,
Some problem here with the integration of a Beosound Essence mk2 with a legacy Master Link system.
Here is my Master Link configuration:
MAIN ROOM
- Video Master: Beovision 7 40 mk6 (Bluray) + Beolab 7.1 (v.option 1)
- Audio Master: Beosystem 7000 + Beolab Penta 3 (a.option 1)
LINK ROOM 1
LINK ROOM 2
- Beovision MX 7000 + BL Video (no local sources)
LINK ROOM 3
- Beolink Passive + ir eye + CX100
As for ML sources it goes as follows (down below in bold the focus of this topic…):
TV – video streaming box (stb)
DTV – satellite receiver
DVD – B&O BV7 internal Bluray
V.TAPE – B&O HDR 1
V.TAPE2 – Beocord V8000
RADIO – Beomaster 7000 FM
A.TAPE – Beocord7000
CD – Beogram CD 7000
PHONO – Beogram 7000
A.TAPE2 – Beosound Essence mk2 (connected to TAPE2 input of the BM7000)
A.AUX – Beolink Converter 1611 to Master Link cable
With this configuration, to play webradio and/or Spotify from BS Essence from any room I have to:
- Press A.TAPE 2 on Beo4/BL1000/Beo6 for “opening the channel”
- Get my phone (android) and
-
- for WEBRADIO (B&O Radio) : activate the BS Essence via the current Bang&Olufsen android app
and/or
- for Spotify: open my Spotify premium account via Spotify android app and connect to BS Essence to play music.
I have recently added a Beolink Converter NL/ML to control the BS Essence from the Master Link side,
in particular for skipping step 2 with Webradios, and it works perfectly:
when I press A.TAPE 2 (see the step 1 above) the Beosound Essence switches on and Webradio (B&O Radio) starts playing and I can switch all the preset channels with B&O remotes arrows up/down.
-----
In this new configuration, the problem starts when I try to play Spotify from my smartphones .
When BS Essence is playing from Webradio, I can connect Spotify to BS Essence (from any device), the BS Essence starts playing Spotify but
after some seconds the entire MasterLink system (NOT the BS Essence … ) switches off .
Is there any setting in the configuration of BLC (or in BS Essence) in order to avoid the switching off…??
At the moment the BLC is set as follows:

Login to view image
With the system behaving like that, at the moment it's become impossible to play Spotify.
Many many thanks for your help !!!
