Master Control Link Handbook
MASTER CONTROL LINK
PREFACE
This handbook deals with Bang & Olufsen’s BeoLink System and AV
system, paying special attention to the installation requirements applying
to them. Consequently, this handbook is especially addressed to dealers
and installers.
Any product, for example a stereo system, a PC, a natural gas system, etc.,
that has to be incorporated into a network needs to have certain
requirements satisfied by the surroundings in connection with its
installation. These requirements must ensure the optimal operation of the
system after installation.
The same applies to Bang & Olufsen’s BeoLink System and AV system.
Although the requirements are not many, it is essential that they be
known since compliance with the basic requirements often determines
whether or not the system is able to operate once the installation has
been completed.
This handbook gives a brief and precise introduction to the basic rules for
the MCL product programme until 1994. The rules must be observed in
connection with the installation of a BeoLink System and/or an AV system.
The handbook has been designed partially as a reference book but the
entire handbook should be read in order to obtain the total overview.
Only then will it serve its purpose as a reference book.

READING INSTRUCTIONS
The hardware (plugs, cables, X-tra kits, etc.) used for connecting Bang &
Olufsen’s products into a system is always the same, no matter if it is a
Beocenter 9500 and an MX 6000 that have to be connected or if it is a
Beomaster 7000 and an MX 6000, for example.
The handbook employs various symbols to illustrate audio products, video
products and speakers. Unless otherwise stated in the text, these symbols
merely have to be understood as covering one of these product areas and
not as the specific product which the illustration may depict.
Since the handbook is focusing particularly on the basic rules in
connection with the installation of the systems, variables which are
specific to particular products have been omitted to the greatest possible
extent. This means that the handbook will always be relevant in
connection with installation of Master Control Link Systems and AV
systems; both with regard to products launched prior to the publication
of the handbook and products that will be launched later.
Because the basic rules applying to the AV and Master Control Link
Systems will always be the same.
If information specific to a particular product is required, please see Bang
& Olufsen’s Product Configuration Guide.

What is an AV system?
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2
When a Bang & Olufsen audio system and video system are interconnected,
they make up an AV system.
An AV system offers a number of possibilities which are not accessible if
the products are placed as independent products. For example, in an AV
system the sound can be moved from the TV to the audio system
speakers; a function that proves its excellence when the sound and the
picture have to merge into a higher synthesis. The sound from the audio
system can similarly be moved to the TV speakers. This function comes in
handy if you wish to record sound from the audio system on the video
tape recorder, for example.
The interconnection of the audio and video systems is furthermore a
condition for distributing and operating video sources (satellite, TV and
video tape recorder) to and from other rooms in the house.
What is a BeoLink System?
BeoLink System is a common denominator for those elements which
enable the distribution of sound and picture to different rooms in the
house.
In other words, the BeoLink System enables operation and enjoyment of a
centrally placed audio/video system from different rooms in the house.
Some of the basic elements included therein are:
The obligatory 7-conductor Master Control Link cable (MCL cable), X-tra
kit, relay boxes, MCL 2 AV panel and IWS 2000.
So, with a centrally placed audio system and a BeoLink System it is
possible to listen to and operate e.g. a radio, CD player, tape recorder,
etc. from other rooms.
If the centrally placed audio system is connected with a video system,
thereby forming an AV system, a host of new possibilities are made
available. This further allows the distribution of video sources to other
rooms. In addition to listening to and operating the audio system from
different rooms, it is also possible to watch, listen to and operate the
video system from other rooms.
For example, you can listen to the TV news through the speakers in the
kitchen; or you can watch and operate satellite TV and the video tape
recorder via the TV in the bedroom. Encoded TV and satellite programmes
can also be watched in the link room, provided that a decoder is
connected in the main room. Another possibility is to listen to the radio
via the TV in the bedroom, for example.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The following section contains a brief description of the cabling typically
used in connection with an AV and Master Control Link System installation.
Pictures (satellite, video tape recorder and ordinary TV broadcasts) are
distributed through a 75 ohm coaxial cable.
All plugs and sockets are illustrated from the solder side.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Below you will find a description of the individual elements included in
the BeoLink System as well as their scope of application.
Content
The X-tra speaker kit is used in those rooms where you wish to have
sound via passive speakers. The Beolink 1000 wall fixture is intended as a
storage place for the remote control terminal.
Application
Miscellaneous In addition to the content of the X-tra kit and the passive speakers, some
MCL cable and perhaps some plugs and connection boxes are required.
(See the section on installation types, page 27, for further information, if
required.)
When using the X-tra speaker kit the volume adjustment is common with
that in the Central room and any other X-tra speaker kits.
X-TRA SPEAKER KIT
The X-tra speaker kit contains an MCL 2A relay box, a transceiver, a
Beolink 1000 wall fixture and fittings for installation.
MASTER CONTROL LINK
Content
Application The X-tra active speaker kit is used in those rooms where you wish to have
sound through active speakers. The mains adaptor supplies power to the
MCL 2AV panel. The Beolink 1000 wall fixture is intended as a storage
place for the remote control terminal.
In addition to using the centrally placed audio and video systems via the
X-tra active speaker kit, it is possible to connect local sources (CD player
and tape recorder) to the MCL 2AV panel. Connection of local sources
allows you to listen to a CD player or a tape recorder independently of
the centrally placed products.
The X-tra active speaker kit has built-in “volume control”. This volume
control permits you to reduce the volume in the link room without
affecting the volume in other rooms. The volume can be increased by 12
dB in the link room without affecting the volume in other rooms. If the
volume is increased further, the volume in other rooms will be increased
comparatively.
In addition to the content of the X-tra kit and the active speakers, some
MCL cable and perhaps some plugs and connection boxes are required.
(See the section on installation types, page 27, for further information, if
required.)
Miscellaneous

X-TRA ACTIVE SPEAKER KIT
The X-tra active speaker kit contains an MCL 2AV panel, a transceiver, a
mains adaptor, a Beolink 1000 wall fixture as well as fittings for
installation.
REMEMBER When planning an installation, remember that both the active speakers
and the MCL 2AV panel have to be connected to the mains.
