Beo4 and beolink converter 1611

5 replies
Hello, I purchased a beolink converter 1611 to use it with my beolab 3500. How do I get the beo4 to communicate with the converter? and after that with to ajust the sound settings on the beolab? I read different manuals (masterlink handbook, beolink handbook, converter manual) but a bit difficult to understand, I have to programm the beo4?

If I understand your question right….. You don’t! The 1611 was created to convert the old MCL system to the (then) newer ML system. The BL3500 is a dedicated link speaker that needs a master (audio or video) to be used. If setup right, you can draw on the sources from e.g. an audiomaster/the sources there (radio/cd……). You control the BL3500 with the remote - have a look here: https://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=373 MM

Hi, beolink converter 1611 can act as a audiomaster so you only connect source to it and masterlink between converter and bl3500 and press cd or radio doesnt matter and it should work
Sure - but you’ll need to activate and control the 3500 to get sound. The 1611 can be hidden away once the connection is done. MM
