BeoLink Passive

BeoLink

Production: 1995 - present

BeoLink Passive was an instrumental piece of kit in that it was a 2×30W stereo power amplifier as well as a MasterLink terminal.  Developed from the MCL2P, the unit looked similar but included a few new ideas when used within a MasterLink system.

The kit allowed the use of a pair of separate passive loudspeakers in a different ‘link room.’  So the user could have a main hi-fi in one room and be able to control a separate pair of speakers elsewhere in the house thus saving the purchase of an additional hi-fi system.

BeoLink Passive allowed for:
