B&O products together with Neo Radio in a typical multiroom setup with master link
B&O was one of the first in the world with multi-room solutions. As far back as 1995, multi rooms became part of the Bang & Olufsen product portfolio with the Masterlink solution. Before then, there was already a solution – albeit simpler – with MCL link, which the B&O products also supported.
Link rooms – for example, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or office – can now listen to the music in the living room (main room) with the master link. The link rooms can also control the house's system with a Beo4 or Beoremote One remote control - even Beolink 1000, Beolink 5000 and Beolink 7000 can be used. Neo Radio is ready for this type of setup with master link
The sound is sent around the house with the master link. Image and video are distributed via coax cable. It is all characterized by Beolink - or today also called B&O multiroom.
In a living room with a B&O TV (example here with Beovision 10), where the active Beolab speakers are connected to the TV, and the audio system is connected to the TV with a master link - can Neo Radio can also be connected.
It is now necessary to connect both powerlink and masterlink to Neo Radio.
In such an arrangement, Internet Radio channels from all over the world can be listened to anywhere in the house.
The music can be started from any room or from the main room. Everything can be operated as it was Neo Radio integrated in the B&O products.
It requires a special cable between Neo Radio and B&O master link. The cable can be purchased at Neo Shop and there are several options to suit any current setup.
