Connect passive speakers with multiroom in 2022

9 replies
What is currently the best way to integrate passive speakers into a B&O Multiroom system? Now I have a BeoSound Core with several 8002 speakers. Now I want to add an additional room with passive speakers (must be outdoor). Do I need a second Core and a BeoAmp 2 for this? Is there any way to make it cheaper than buying these two devices that cost at least 2k€?
So theoretically i can use this configuration to accomplish an additional multiroom with passive speakers?: BeoSound Essence MKII & MCL2P; connected via PowerLink or BeoLink Converter NL/ML & MCL2P; connected via PowerLink or MasterLink that should both work?
Either of the 3 - MCL2P, MCL/ML Converter, Beolink Passive - will do. They are basicly the same, when it comes to acting as an amp. Do remember that they will need a fully wired/MK3 Powerlink cable in order to turn on/of. MM

The Beoamp 2 can also be used. /api/files/6fe8b2105c4f497794b52d9a90fea759 Just saw that it was already mentioned, sorry
