Introduction
The BeoLink Converter NL/ML is a converter between the Network Link and the Master Link system and makes it possible to integrate Network
Link products and Master Link products.
The BeoLink Converter NL/ML is designed to convert control signals and audio signals between Master Link products and Network Link products.
Analog audio signals from products in the Master Link system are converted to digital signals by the BeoLink Converter NL/ML and transferred to
the products connected on the Network Link. Digital audio signals from the products on the Network Link are converted to analog signals to
products in the Master Link system.
The BeoLink Converter NL/ML has a built-in Web Interface, which is used for Set up. The BeoLink Converter NL/ML is by default set up as a Video
Master in option 2. The BeoLink Converter NL/ML can also be used for active speakers (Power Link enabled).
