MCL2AV

BeoLink MCL

Production: 1985 - present

MCL 2 AV (Types 2020, 2021, 2023) allowed for independent volume control, local audio and video sources and control of Bang & Olufsen audio and video components in a Master Control Link (MCL) system.

Over and above the specifications for MCL2A, it offered a higher level of sophistication enabling maximum usability and complete control of a main-room hi-fi or television set around the house. It was the most sophisticated MCL system to date and far outweighed the hitherto advantages of earlier systems such as Link 82 and Link 30.
