Hi Steve. I would like to use the core the other way around, as a gateway to the multiroom system. To listen to the CD's from the Beosound 9000 on wireless Beousound 2 speakers. So i would like to connect the BS9000 to the line input of the core and than "stream" this signal to the BS2 speakers. Is that possible? Thanks.
Cheers Steve my lead arrived this morning, 5 mins and my Core was connected to my 9000 and working.
Superb! Many thanks for your purchase, glad to hear that all is working well!
Brilliant Mate 👌
Thank you!
Hello Steve! I emailed to you a few weeks ago about my beosound 9000 not spinning despite a new laser was installed just March this year and to connect the beolab 8000 to my onkyo amp. So i first brought the beosound back to the repairer to complain but miraculously, the thing immediately worked again! I just found out the trick to NOT turn off the machine in the power outlet (or disconnect the plug) at home and there shouldn't be any problem!
Thanks, that is good to hear. Glad you got it sorted
After 17 years in storage in a basement in Denmark my old Beosound Ouverture and Beolab 8000 speakers have finally made their way to UK and into my living room. The speakers work perfectly and remain in absolute mint condition, whereas the Ouverture unfortunately has a laser fault and a broken or faulty drivebelt for the cassette player, but is otherwise also in mint condition. Planning to have those faults fixed in the near future I have played around with different ways of playing streaming music in the mean time. The first one I tried was your tip on how to give the speakers WIFI capability via the line ports and an Apple Airport unit, which works a treat. However, I wish to be able to use my Ouverture as well (the radio works and hopefully the CD player and the cassette player will soon be fixed too) without having to crawl around flipping the little switch in the connector housing at the base of the speakers, every time I want to swap between WIFI and Ouverture as input. My solution has been to connect a little Echo Dot via its 3.5mm port to the AUX port on the Ouverture, which works great and I can now play streaming music using voice commands as well as internet radio channels and all the other things the Echo will do. The only problem is that the volume, as expected, is fairly low even with the Echo Dot turned up to full volume and I find myself having to turn the volume up on the Ouverture from typically around 28 to 32, when playing through the Echo Dot. I there any fix for this problem? It is admittedly only a minor problem, and I am planning on getting a BEO4 remote control so I can easily adjust the volume via the Ouverture, but it would be fantastic if there is a way of achieving roughly the same volume output whether I (in the near future) play a CD, the radio, or streaming music via the Echo dot. Sorry for the very longwinded question 😄
Hi, there will always be slight differences in the volume levels of different devices, but you can get them quite close. This cable will allow you to connect an Echo Dot to the Aux socket on the back of your B&O system and it costs from just £14.99 GBP including shipping:-
soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/67-298-minijack-to-aux-in-ipod-to-beosound-beomaster-beocenter-using-aux-din-socket.html#/2-length-1m
Please set the Echo volume to maximum when connecting to the B&O system - this is normal when using a portable music player with a home audio system due to the low output levels produced by the Echo.
To listen to the Echo, simply press "A.Aux" on the B&O keypad, or select this on the B&O remote control by pressing the "LIST" button until the display shows "A.AUX", then pressing "GO".
Hi Steve. Thanks for your very informative videos. I own a BeoMaster 5 and BeoSound 5 with BeoLab 5 speakers. Is it possible to connect the Core to my BeoMaster 5 / BeoSound 5 System? Really appreciate your answer. Take care, Harald
Thanks Harald! Yes, you can add a Core to the Beomaster 5 with this USB adapter ( soundsheavenly.com/music-input/17-beomaster-5-beosound-5-aux-usb-input-converter-also-works-as-pcmac-sound-card.html ) and cable ( soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/65-366-rj45-powerlink-compatible-to-twin-phono-cable-output-from-new-bo-devices-to-amps-receivers-etc.html#/2-length-1m ).
Hi Steve, thanks for the video. I have the following question. I have a Beosound 9000 (two Beolab speakers attached through PL) and two Beolab 3500 (connected using the MasterLink cable). What is the most userfriendly way to incorporate a Beosound Core into this setup? Beosound Core as AUX input on Beosound 9000, use Beosound 3500 by switching to AUX to listen to Beosound Core content. Beosound Core is added to be able to listen to Radio (Tune-In, Spotify, etc. as regular UKW radio is unavailable). Guess devices are controlable with the new B&O Remote?
Hi, yes you can easily link a Core into the Aux socket of the 9000 to play to the speakers in any room via this cable: soundsheavenly.com/playmaker-and-essence-wireless-streaming/84-378-rj45-to-aux-input-cable-add-core-essence-or-playmaker-to-your-bo-system.html#/9-length-18m
@@soundsheavenly And the Beoremote One should be able to be used for all three IR devices? Beosound 9000, Beolab 3500s?
@@OliverMartiniCH Hi, yes that is correct, please ensure that you get the version of BeoRemote One that has an IR control option for use with older products.
Hello!
I’ve got a beosystem 5500 and I would like to connect my technics turntable into it. I was trying a few times, but It didn’t worked. The sound was terrible and very silent. The pickup is new. What should I do to be able to listen to vinyls? Does it means that I should buy preamp or is there something wrong with my turntable?
Hi! Beomaster 5500 has a phono pre-amp built in, so as long as everything is working correctly you should just need this cable to play the turntable into your B&O system: soundsheavenly.com/beogram-record-players/14-2244-beogram-to-non-bo-device-phono-pre-amp-receiver-amplifier-etc.html#/2-length-1m/60-grounding-internal_ground_link
Hi Steve. Greetings from Denmark. Is it possible to get the Beosound Core high 24-bit/192kHz digital sound quality using your RJ45-powerlink 5 pin aux cable connected to the aux input on Beosound 3200 and then out to the speakers?
Hi Tony, yes the Core has a high quality digital to analogue converter (DAC) inside that is used when you take the analogue output of the Core via the RJ45 socket, this ensures that you get the full sound quality for your digital music, whichever output you use for the connection.
Hi Steve, I enjoy your videos, thanks. Is there a way to include a Beosound Core to a Masterlink network?
Hi, this is possible but a bit too complicated to answer in TH-cam comments. If you are in uk or Europe, please send me a message at soundsheavenly.com and I can help further
Hello Steve
I have installation Beovision avant last model and bs 5 (with BeoLink converter)
Is it possible to connect a bs core ? And how?
Thank you
DAVID from France
Hello David, yes this is possible. However, it is a bit too complex to explain in a TH-cam comment! Please can you email me via the contact form at soundsheavenly.com so that I can help you further?
Hi Steve,
What is the best way to connect my Beolab 14 to the connection Hub originally produced for the S8 system? I now used a power link with two splitters to individually connect to the suB, front and rear but the Sound is now very bass heavy.. thanks in advance
Hi, this is a bit too detailed to cover in TH-cam comments, but please drop me a message at soundsheavenly.com and I can help further!
Hi Steve, can I use the CD Player of my old Overture to play CDs over Core to other B&O music systems in my setup (BS1 and BS35)? If not, can I use my Avant NG TV to connect Disc Player and play them on the BS35? Thank you!
Hi, yes this is possible! This is too detailed to cover in TH-cam comments, but please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.com and I can help further!
Hi Steve.
Need your expert tips.
Just became the owner of a Beosound 9000 Mk3.
Already own a Beogram 4000 which I have played on my beomaster 1900 with my Beolab 8000 speakers.
Also bought a Hall Audio Streamer.
I now want to be able to stream music from my Hall streamer, play vinyl records from Beogramen and CDs from Beosound 9000.
What do I need for the best setup.
Maybe I don't need to use my Beomaster 1900.
Hi, yes we can get this all working for you. Please can you get in touch at soundsheavenly.com so that I can send you all the details you need? Thanks!
Hi Steve. Thank you for your info.
Question. I want to Connect a beosound 9000 to a beosound Shape. And be able to use the shape as an audio system (like normal) but also as a speaker for my BS 9000.
Is that possible? And how?
Thank you.

Hi Mark, yes that is possible! This is too detailed to explain in a TH-cam comment, but please get in touch by email at steve@soundsheavenly.com and I will be happy to explain how to do this!
Thank you, Steve.
I Will send you an email soon.

Hi Steve
Can i use a floorstand for a beovison 7 for my beosound 9000?
And can i use the speaker from a beovison 7 with beosound 9000?
Hi, Yes, you can use the Beolab 7 speaker with Beosound 9000, you just need a Powerlink mk.3 cable: soundsheavenly.com/powerlink-8-pin-din-connection/20-266-powerlink-mk-3-compatible-8-pin-din-cable-with-4-cores-wired-low-profile-cable.html#/1-length-05m Sorry I don't know about the stands, I suggest contacting www.stbbrackets.co.uk about this as they are B&O stand and bracket experts. If you have any cabling questions, please ask and I will be happy to help!
Hi Steve, just a question if I may, is it possible to use the core with two BeoLab 3s (which subsequently each use a receiver 1 to work with an Avant over wisa)? How would I be able to stream music from the B&O app or Deezer to the core without powering on the TV? It seems complicated to me.
Hi, when the speakers are used over WiSA, then no other connection is possible, so the Core can only link via the TV. If you cable the speakers to the TV instead, then the Core can also cable to the speakers to play when the TV is off. Please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.com if you would like help replacing the WiSA link with cables to get everything working and I will be pleased to assist.
@@soundsheavenly hi Steve, thanks for the reply, I’d not want to remove the wisa link due to the layout of the room. That said, with the core connected to the tv and tv not on or in use, how would I be able to stream music to the speakers... would I need to turn the TV on first or would I be able to stream to the core and the core will power the tv and speakers on? Thanks for all your help Steve.
@@suneetjulka5805 If you want to use the speakers over WiSA, then the only option is to connect the Core to the TV and turn on the TV to play music. Please get in touch at soundsheavenly.com for more help on how to do this, as it is too detailed to cover in TH-cam comments!
Hi Steve, could you please give me the details to connect the beosound 9000 to play through headphones either hard wired or Bluetooth.
Regards Stan Errington
Hi, please plug a normal wired pair of headphones into the headphone socket on the side of the Beosound 900 for best results. Sorry I don't sell or recommend any Bluetooth transmitters, but if you choose a transmitter then this can also connect to the 9000 in the same way.
Hi Steve, will an RCA into the line in/Optical work?
Hi, yes you can connect a music source with RCA sockets to the Core via this cable: soundsheavenly.com/hifi-av/112-498-minijack-to-twin-phono-rca-line-ipod-to-hifi.html#/2-length-1m
Hello Steve, I would like to connect a beosound 3000 to a beolink passive amplifier. What kind of cable I need? Thank you for your help
Hi, there are two ways to do this, depending on whether the speakers connected to the Passive amplifier will be in the same room as the Beosound. Please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.com with the full details of the setup and I can help you with the connections
Hi Steve. I may be confused but I would need your help please. I am about to purchase some Beolab 18s with a Beosound Core as wired setup. I thought the Powerlink connection on the Core was an output to connect to the speakers. How would I then connect an older Beocenter 2 for instance to this same Powerlink connection on the Core? Or is it a case of just needing a split adapter, and the Powerlink connection on the Core very much working as both an input and output?
Hi Daniel, please don't use a splitter to link two music systems to one set of speakers. Beolab 18 can accept separate inputs, so you can link them to the Core via optical cables (soundsheavenly.com/tv-input/149-2559-premium-braided-toslink-optical-cable-with-metal-plugs.html#/16-length-15m) and also to the Beocenter 2 via Powerlink cables (soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/31-325-rj45-to-powerlink-compatible-all-in-one-cable-convert-new-2013-ethernet-powerlink-to-traditional-8-pin-din-powerlink.html#/9-length-18m).
@@soundsheavenly thank you. So I can connect my speakers via powerlink for now but if I decide to add an older source, Your recommendation would be to use the power link on the core for that, and connect the cables via toslink?
@@HypeCheese Yes, Core has a variable volume optical output (which is unusual), so this is one of the few devices that can connect to the Beolab 18s via optical, thus freeing up the Powerlink input for an older music system
hi steve
if I have understood you correctly then the powerlink connector on the beosound core can be used as an input from my ovarture and as an output to my beolab 8002 speakers by using the adapter connector as you show in the video
Hi, the RJ45 Powerlink connector on the Core can be used to connect to EITHER the Ouverture or the speakers, but NOT both. The speakers can only connect to one device at once, so if they are connected to the Ouverture at the moment, please use this cable to link the Core to the Aux socket of the Ouverture instead of connecting the Core directly to the speakers: soundsheavenly.com/playmaker-and-essence-wireless-streaming/84-378-rj45-to-aux-input-cable-add-core-essence-or-playmaker-to-your-bo-system.html#/9-length-18m
Thanks for your reply. Will I then be able to play audio from a TV through the beosound core and out into my speakers if I connect them
@@srenjensen7285 Yes, that will work!
Steve. I would like to get the Core connect four Beolab 8000s to it. Is that even possible, considering that the Core has only one PL socket
Hi, yes that is possible! You need one RJ45 splitter (soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/27-313-rj45-powerlink-compatible-splitter-new-powerlink-to-two-8-pin-din-powerlink-compatible-sockets.html#/20-length-02m), two Powerlink splitters (soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/26-129-powerlink-compatible-splitter-doubler-2-fully-wired-powerlink-compatible-sockets.html#/20-length-02m) and four Powerlink cables (soundsheavenly.com/powerlink-8-pin-din-connection/20-266-powerlink-mk-3-compatible-8-pin-din-cable-with-4-cores-wired-low-profile-cable.html#/1-length-05m)
What about doing that plus connecting a TV with the Core to play sound via the 8000 or 9000 without sound delay and without purchasing the new BEO bluetooth remote? 😉
No problem! You can use your phone to control the Core, without needing to buy a new remote.
Is it possible to connect a BEOLAB 11 subwoofer to the core (with BL 8000s connected to the BL11)
Hi, yes that will work well, you just need an RJ45 to Powerlink cable to link the Beolab 11 to the Core: soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/31-325-rj45-to-powerlink-compatible-all-in-one-cable-convert-new-2013-ethernet-powerlink-to-traditional-8-pin-din-powerlink.html#/9-length-18m

How do you connect a soundbar to a Beomaster 6500. Soundbar has RCA, optical, HDMI and USB.
I already have the speaker ports on the amp used for speakers so I'm a little confused

Thanks, good question! If you have the version of Earset 1 with 3.5mm ear and mic plugs, then yes, this should plug straight into any modern computer via the microphone and headphone ports.

Hi Steve! I got a B&O Core, B&O Transmitter 1, Beolab 18 & 19 in addition to a Beosound 9000. I usually stream music through Tidal/Core, but since I have this Beosound 9000 from bygone times, I connected it through B&O Transmitter 1. The cable is connected through the headphone outlet on BS9000 and further on to the RCA input on the Transmitter 1. I then use remote B&O 4 to run it. A B&O store told me this would be the best setup for the BS9000 because the Core software cannot manage the BS9000, only a stand alone remote as B&O 4. Since you in this video explain how to connect the BS9000 directly to the Core, I'm very curious how you control the BS9000 through the Core software? Looking forward to your reply! SMILE!!
Hi, that is a great setup! You can easily connect the Core to the 9000, but they cannot easily control each other. I suggest using the B&O app for the Core and the Beo4 remote for the 9000. Please ask if you need any help with cables!

Well , didn’t explain what will happen with remote control in either case
There is a limit to what I can cover in 95 seconds! If you use a BeoRemote One (version with both Bluetooth and IR) then you can use one remote to control both the Core and the 9000. Hope that helps?
