Thank you so much!
Hi Steve, I love your videos, thank you most kindly for sharing the wealth of knowledge!
Thank you!
Thank you Sounds Heavenly for sorting out all our problems with B N O Cables etc. Now I know who you are since my husband orders a few products from you since we moved to the UK from NZ. 👍🏼🙏🏼
Hi, thanks for your kind words, please also thank your husband for the orders that he placed! I am always happy to help if you need to connect your B&O products!
Such a kind person! Thank you
Thanks, I'm always happy to help!
Very nice show, thank you! Very well expained.
Thanks, glad to hear that it was helpful
Awesome video!!! Thanks!
Thanks, glad it was helpful!
Oh once again, I love this upload in that I have the Beolab 6000 and matching speakers. As of late I've been wondering if there was a way to hook up my Beolab 1 speakers to my old integrated JVC stereo system. Well done Steve. Cheers from across the Pond.
Thanks Peter! Yes, you can use your speakers with the JVC amplifier! Please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.com if you need any help with the right way to connect.
As always, thank you for your kind offer Steve. I will need to take some measurement for the wiring, but since this upload really got wheels spinning, now I want to see "systems" if you will, like my flat screen TV's and smaller more portable all in one sound system might work through the various plug in ports that they have.
I'm always amazed at your electronic wizardry. I dare say that if I still had my little *Heathkit crystal radio that had to be assembled and would be powered by batteries, that you could make into a modern day surround system.
* If you're not familiar with the name. Heath & Co. started approximately in the 1940's and "Heathkit" was their branded name for electronic equipment that had to be assembled. They made a child's "kit" if you will that, that I received for Christmas in 1951. I had so much enjoyment "building" my own radio and I stayed up late on our Presidential Election Day in November 1952 and listened to the election results coming in through my headphones that were being transmitted until we (America) knew who was going to be our next President. It was Dwight David Eisenhower. THAT name should be familiar to you!😉 Back in the day, there was the slogan of "I Like Ike!" that his campaigners had been handing out throughout the country and I actually wore one of those small campaign buttons that night while listening. WOW, I had not thought of memory 'til literally now. Thank you so much for letting me re-live that little time-piece of time in my life. They were the worst of times, they were the best of times.
Again, thank you my friend.🙏
@@petercarey6883 Thank you! I also had a Heathkit radio as a child, it was one of the things that spurred on my love of music, radio and electronics!
@@soundsheavenly I was wondering if there might be a back-story. Thank you.
Thanks!
Thanks for your kind gift!
Wow . Gracias
De nada (You are welcome)! Glad the video was helpful!
I’d be lost without you! 😂
Thanks! I'm always happy to help with any connection questions!
I really would love to start investing in some B&O gear because I’ve fell in love with their beautiful design and I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. However upon researching their products, be it modern or vintage, I’m afraid to say they confuse the absolute hell out of me. What I need is a good series explaining their weird proprietary connections, and how to use them, and I think I’ve finally found it.
Glad you found my channel, that is exactly my aim to make B&O easier to use and enjoy! Please check out my videos and ask if you have any quesitons!
this is fantastic. im going to emailyou for advie and a cable order !
Thank you!
Thank
You are welcome!
Hi. Thanks . Most informative video from a retired B & O engineer. How to connect a B & O S8 woofer system inc 2 sat's without the hub?
Thanks! Please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.com with the full details of all the products you wish to use with the speakers and I can help with cables.
Hello Steve great video I just went out and bought a pair of beolab 6000 and I’m connecting it to my LG oled TV through the mini jack headphone I’m having a lot of hissing like the speakers on loud and the volume is quite high even at maybe a 10th of the max volume is there anything I can do
Thanks, glad the video was helpful. I suggest trying the speakers with a phone or iPod, if the noise is gone then the tv will be the cause of the hissing.
Thanks for your video. I have an old Biolab 1 system with tower speakers, They have the PIN connectors you showed on the video. I have four speakers, but two are in the rear and wired through the wall. Is there an adaptor to the PIN connector that I can use to connect to a new Sony Bravia TV?
Hi, thanks for your question, this is a bit too details to cover in TH-cam comments but please get in touch via the contact page at soundsheavenly.com and I will be happy to help!
Great video - one question can I use a subwoofer cable as they come in single form one for each channel as they are not stuck together like a lot of rca cables?
Your help would be appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed the video! The connections may vary depending on which system the speakers are connected to, but if you can please send me a message at soundsheavenly.com with the full details of your setup then I can help further via email
Which AV receivers can you suggest for connecting a TV to Beolab 6000?
-Thanks a lot for the explaining and the work you are doing :)
Thanks! Please feel free to email me via my website at soundsheavenly.con and I can offer some suggestions for receivers to consider
Dear Steve ... In the late 80s I became the owner of a B&0 7000 installation (TV Beovision MX 7000, 2 Beo Penta towers, Tuner, CD) ... a few years later it was adapted to a Beo Vision 7/45 TV with DVD BlueRay + Beolab 7-1 + 2 Beolabs 6000 and Beo4 ... Now (20 yaers later) I got a problem with the TV's HDMI-ports ... If I start the TV, I get sound, but no video ... So, eacht time, I have to take the HDM cables out and back in (seral times) to start sound+video ... My local dealer gives me one solution: a new OLED TV (with a new intelligent sound bar) ... 14.000€ !!! ... If I buy the same Oled TV in a non-B&O shop, it costs me 2.300€ ... So, sorry for my beloved B&O, but I am searching for a new sollution, in whitch I can still use my 5 B&O boxes (2 Penta, 2 Beolab 6000 and 1 Beolab 7-1) in a surround sollution with a LG or Loewe OLED Smart TV ... Doe you have any suggestions ? I saw for instance a sollution of a German company called ALMANDO (Soundcenter Surround, etc. ...).
Please send me a message at soundsheavenly.com (UK / Europe only) and I can help you with the connections!
Great video. I do have one question however.
I have the exact setup you also mention in the video, with the Beolab 6000's and a Yamaha WXC-50.
But I want to add a subwoofer to them, as they are quite flat. I really want a Beolab 11, but how would I connect it to the system?
Thanks, glad you liked the video. Please feel free to get in touch via my website at soundsheavenly.com and I will be happy to help you to add the subwoofer - this is a bit too detailed to cover in TH-cam comments!
@@soundsheavenly thanks, I will be in touch tomorrow then!
Hi Steve. Thanks a lot for your video. May i ask you how I can connect beosound 1 (2004) to my turntable with built in preamplifier. It has one output (minijack).
Please feel free to ask any questions via the contact form on my website at soundsheavenly.com and I will be happy to help you via email!
Steve, I want to link the Beo 6000 to my tv and headunit with PowerLink 1 and 2. How does this work and for example if I listen to a cd and somewone put the TV on, channel 1 overrules channel 2 then?
Please drop me a message at soundsheavenly.com for any connection questions (EU and UK only) and I will be happy to help further, as this is too detailed to cover in TH-cam comments!
Hi Steve. I've got four Beolab 6000 which I want to connect to my LG TV. All of them are far apart of each other. I was wondering if it is possible to connect the Speaker #1 & #2 (which are closest to the TV) with the cable with Phono-jack (headphone connection) which you show at 4:49 directly to the TV, and then to connect Speaker #3 to Speaker #2 with a powerlink cable, and finally Speaker #4 to Speaker #3 with a powerling cable ( the chain-type of connection). Would this work? Can a speaker which is connected with a headphone connection to an audio source be at the same time connected to another speaker with a powerlink? Thanks
Hi, sorry but this won't work. The Powerlink sockets of these speakers won't function without a B&O system connected. This is a bit too detailed to cover in TH-cam comments, but please email me via the contact page at soundsheavenly.com with the full details of your setup and I will be pleased to help further.
👍👍👍 Cher Steve
Thanks!
Hello Steve,
First off all hats off for your respect and effort to help people.
I can buy B&O BeoLab 1 speakers for 200£. I love sound and never bought something this high end. Do you recommend me buying these?
Thank you.
Thanks for your kind words. Sorry I can’t comment on prices or tell you which speakers to buy but these are great speakers if you find a good pair that you like at a price that works for you
Hello Steve. I have a small question, if I have 6 beolab 6000s could I use the atenuate conversion box ? I m trying to connect all of them to my regular 2022 tv?
Yes, I can help! Basically, you have three options if you wish to use the speakers with a non-B&O TV:-
1) Connect two Beolab speakers to the headphone socket of the TV for stereo sound, with volume control from the TV remote, or
2) Connect the TV and all of the Beolab speakers to a Beosound music system, B&O Connection Hub or Core (if you have one) for stereo sound through all speakers, with volume control from the B&O remote, or
3) Add an external AV receiver with pre-out sockets (expect to pay from around £500 GBP in the UK) to allow all of the speakers to be connected for full surround sound with control from the receiver remote control.
I can (of course!) provide cables for any of the above options. If you can please let me know your preferred option, I will be pleased to advise on the cabling required.
I've got one last question, can you connect a pair of Beolab 6000 to a Beolab 2, and use it with 3.5mm? If so, which cable do I need? Thank you in advance
Hi, yes this is possible! It is too complex to explain in a TH-cam comment, but please email me via the contact page at soundsheavenly.com and I will be happy to help via email!
@@soundsheavenly Just did that. Thank you
Hi Steve! Your camera has face detection, that’s why the RCA cables were out of focus. If the image processor on your camera detects (a part of) your face, it will refocus. The RCA cables were spooled up, and we could see you peeking through.
Anyway, thought i’d share.
Thanks, sorry about that! I will use a sheet of paper behind the cable next time, so the camera doesn't see me peeking through!
I have a beosound 5 with beolab 6000 speakers. If you use rca cables to connect to a reciever, can you also still use the beosound for radio, or the beosound will be useless?
Beolab 6000 speakers can only connect to one device at once. This sounds a bit too complex for TH-cam comments, but if you are in uk or Europe then please get in touch at soundsheavenly.com and I can help further.
Hi Steve. Having the powerlink in and out connections so being able to daisy chain the BL6000’s and BL1’s ( and I believe the 4000’s) is such a useful feature I’ve often wondered why the BL8000’s never had it? I’m guessing maybe cost but would be interested to know your thoughts. Thanks for the great video.
Hi roger, yes this is really useful, it was just an issue of limited space on the Beolab 8000 as the extra socket would have required a design alteration.
@@soundsheavenly Thanks. It is a bit crammed behind the 8000 already, I can see having an extra socket would be difficult to design into the speaker.
Yes, one alternative is to add a Powerlink splitter to give two sockets, I stock these at soundsheavenly.com if you need them
Dear Steve, I have a pair of Beolab 6000’s a friend gave me and I want to connect them to my Sony PS-LX310BT turntable. Would I just need to connect the turntable to a preamp with volume control and then to the speakers? Kind regards, Billy
Hi Billy, if you are in UK or Europe, please drop me a message at soundsheavenly.com and I can help with all the options (this is too detailed to cover in TH-cam comments!)
hi!
i need a help.
i have a CRT BeoVision MX 7000 with Beolab 6000 i need to connect with powerlink cables, but dont work.
is the combination possible?
Thanks
Hi, yes this should work as the MX7000 has two Powerlink sockets. You may have faulty cables, or an issue with the TV. Please ask at soundsheavenly.com if you need any help with cables to get this working.
Hi Steve, I've been looking for an attenuated converter but can only find ones for car audio that appear to need 12V power. Your's is passive by the look of things, yes?
Yes, mine is passive and it is calibrated for use with Beolab speakers. Please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.com if you have any questions about how to use this with your speakers.
@@soundsheavenly Thanks so much for your response :) How much is it, shipped to Aus?
Please can you email me via my website so that I can confirm all the details? Thanks!
Hi Steve, thanks for the great video. I want connect my BeoLabs 6000 with an Sonos Connect S2 and I am struggeling. Can you help me please.
Hi, thanks for your kind words, yes I can help. I am away from work until 6th January but after that please use the link below for the cable you need. Here is the cable you need to connect a pair of Beolab 6000 speakers to a Sonos Port or Sonos Connect:-
soundsheavenly.com/line-in-connection/6-30-av-processor-pre-amp-sonos-to-beolab-rca-line-in-one-cable-for-two-speakers.html#/2-length-1m
Please set both speakers to "Line" mode using the small switch next to the input sockets. You need one cable for each pair of speakers.
If you don’t already have the mains power cables for the B&O speakers, I keep these in stock here in a choice of lengths:-
soundsheavenly.com/41-beolab-misc?order=product.price.asc
I just plugged in my B&O speakers into my pre out sockets in my amplifier with RCA cable. But just the right speaker starts to play music. I switched cables and switched L/R aswell but then none of them play.
Is my L speaker broken? Or am I doing something wrong? It just worked a moment ago.

Hi, if the cable came from my website, please drop me a message at soundsheavenly.com with your order details and I can help you to get everything working. If you purchased the cable elsewhere, please contact the cable seller for their advice, or I can help with the correct replacement cable if required.
I have a couple pairs of Beolab 12-3 powered speakers that I acquired. What is the best way to hook them up to a non b&o preamp or system. ( i don’t think they have the 3.5mm input) thanks!

@@soundsheavenly thanks! I’ll do that
Hi Steve from Italy! I would like to connect my beovision 7 speaker to a new samsung tv. Which cable should i use? Is there any way to connect a 8din directly to rca? Thank u so much
Yes, I can help! The only way to connect the speaker directly to your TV is if the TV has a headphone socket fitted, as this is the only socket where the volume of the sound can be controlled. Your Beolab 7 speaker needs a special powered cable to generate the trigger signals to activate it:-
soundsheavenly.com/line-in-connection/102-438-minijack-to-beolab-2-7-10-2500-powered-trigger-kit.html#/2-length-1m
If your TV doesn't have a headphone socket fitted, please let me know, as additional hardware may be needed. In this configuration, the TV will control the speaker volume, but the speaker will remain on all the time that the trigger cable is connected and powered on.
@@soundsheavenly thank u so much for ur time and attention. When my TV arrives i’ll let u know if she has the Jack. Eventually if she doesn’t, i’ll buy the cable that u link, then a converter from aux to optical coulb be the solution?
@@nexnexusnex Thanks for your reply. If your TV doesn't has a headphone socket fitted, then a direct cable connection to the speakers is not possible. However, you can still connect the TV optical output to the speakers by one of the options below:-
1) Buy a B&O Core from your local B&O store (approx. £600 GBP) for remote control of the speakers via the B&O app, or
2) Buy a B&O Connection Hub from your local B&O store (approx. £149 GBP) for remote control of the speakers via the TV remote, or
3) Add an AV receiver for full surround sound, with volume control from the receiver remote.
Please note that I don't sell any of the devices mentioned above, only the cables! Please let me know your preferred option and I will be pleased to advise how to get everything working.

Hi there Steve, need some help. I have a B&O 4500 with RL 6000 BeoVox speakers. I need to know what kind of speaker wire I need to buy to connect them. They have been in storage for 10 years and need to make sure they work The speakers have basic input from speaker wire, but the BeoMaster 4500 has a different connection. Can you help? Thanks.
Hi, I'm happy to help with any cable enquiries via my website at soundsheavenly.com (UK and Europe only) as TH-cam comments aren't great for technical discussions...
Thanks for the information Steve. I have been wanting to connect a Meracus Intrare amp to my 6000’s now I know how.
Also, I am in Ireland so what is the situation with vat and duty? I recently got a €15 cd from the UK and the post office wouldn’t deliver it until I paid almost €8 in duty.!! Please let all your EU viewers know! Thanks again.
Thanks Marley, yes we can get the speakers working with your amp. I think the situation with Customs duty varies between different EU countries, as it is applied when the item arrives for delivery to you. I suggest asking your local postal office or tax office to confirm the import duties that apply in your country.
Hi Steve, i just bought a Bang & Olufsen Beogram 7000 turntable with built in preamp, it has a Din 5-pin male connector, how do I hook it up to a regular system with RCA input jacks? Do I need to get an RCA cable with a ground cable? I wasn’t sure because this deck has a built in preamp. Thanks in advance.
Hi, you don't need a ground wire but the cable does need to be corrected wired and grounded internally for the Beogram, please use this cable into the Line or Tape inputs of your non-B&O music 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
@@soundsheavenly mine is a 5-pin connector.
Please don't worry that my cables have 7 pins instead of 5, as they fit and work perfectly in the 5 pin plug on your Beogram. The other two pins are only used for remote control data to other B&O products, so they are spare in this application. Using 7 pin sockets allows the cables to also fit newer B&O products, which used 7 pin plugs.
Please help me!
I connected my Beolab 3 to my Beovision 10-40 and now I’m hearing the music only from tha Beolab speakers and not from the Beovision… is there any way to hear music and videos from Al the 3? From the 2 Beolab 3 and the Beovision together? The Beolab are connected with powerlink

Hi, this just sounds like the TV settings need to be changed to tell the TV to use all the speakers. Sorry I don't have the setup details as I just make cables, but I suggest asking your local B&O dealer or searching for the user manual for the TV online.

Hi Steve,
I have a core with to beolab 4000 connected. Is it possible for me to connect a non b&o subwoofer - if yes, how? :)
Thanks
Hi, Yes, I can help! Simply connect the cable in the link below from any spare Powerlink output on either of the speakers to the RCA input on any powered non-B&O subwoofer:-
soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/16-96-powerlink-to-non-bo-subwoofer-din-to-phono.html#/2-length-1m
If your subwoofer has two input sockets, please connect both plugs on the cable, otherwise either plug can be used if the subwoofer only has one input socket (Please use the Line In sockets, not the LFE Sockets). Set the subwoofer volume to approx. 50-75% and then adjust it as required to match the level of your other speakers. The subwoofer volume can now be controlled automatically from the B&O remote along with the other speakers.
@@soundsheavenly Thanks for a great answer! :)
Mate you're THE guru for B&O. I have a beosystem 4 and two 6000s. Do you recommend linking the two speakers together and connecting them to the beosystem 4 with one cable or connecting them separately with two different cables to the beosystem 4. At the moment those are all the speakers I'll have connected to my TV but later I will get a subwoofer and maybe another pair of 6000s or a pair of something else.
Thank you sir! There is no loss of sound quality for either method of connecting the speakers, the key is which one makes the cabling easier to run around the room. Also, linking the speakers together frees up a socket on the Beosystem in case you want to connect more speakers later. Please see here for all the cables you need: soundsheavenly.com/37-beolab
@@soundsheavenly thanks mate I ordered a couple of cables from your shop today. I’m going to do what you recommended in one of your other videos just get any old subwoofer and another pair of 6000s so I found a Bose acoustimass 5 which looks decent do you know what cable I need to connect that to the Beosystem 4 ?
@@sturmanaskie Thanks! As the Bose speakers are passive (unpowered), they won't connect directly to the Beosystem, you will need a power amplifier to be able to connect them to the B&O system.
@@soundsheavenly thanks 🙏 got it, I’ll look for something else then
Hi Steve, I have a Beovision 10 with the latest version of the Ouverture. Hoe do I connect my speakers? I have a set of Beosound 6000 en 8000. And where do I plug them in, TV or Ouverture? I have a splitter, but hoe the systeem knows wich speaker is front and wich is back?? Greetings from the Netherlands.
Hi, please link the Ouverture to the TV with a Masterlink cable, then connect the speakers to the TV so that both devices can play to the same speakers. You can then set the speakers up in the TV menu, note which socket they are connected to and go to the "Speakers" section of the TV menu to assign them as front or rear. I can help at soundsheavenly.com with any cables you need!
@@soundsheavenly ok comnect them to the TV (then I have the TV center speaker ass well). I am not at home at the moment, but the Beovison 10 has only 1 channel left and 1 right? So have to use a Y splitter. The how does the TV know what the rear and what the front speakers are? Do I have to put the TV on when listening to a CD? P.s. I see B&O screensavers on youtube, does the Beo10 has that?
The TV should always be powered on, but it can be in standby with the screen blank when music is playing, there doesn't need to be a picture showing. You can set which speaker channel is which in the TV menu.
Hello I have a question.
Can I connect this speaker to bang olufsen beogram 5005 ? If so how to make it so it plays something?
Hi, I am sorry but you cannot connect Beolab speakers directly to a Beogram turntable. This is because there is no way to control the speaker volume. You need a music system or amplpifier with a volume control connected between the turntable and the speakers to boost the sound and to control the volume. Please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.com with details of which music system or amplifier you will be using, then I can help with the connections
Hello, is it possible to Connect 2 beolab 6000 with a besound stage to a tV ?
Hi, Beosound Stage cannot be used with any other speakers, it only works as a stand-alone speaker. This is due to a sound delay in the Stage that cannot be removed.
@@soundsheavenly thank you for your answer
Hello. good video !..
When i put my beolab 8000 to my tv via line in to headphone jack on tv it make so much white noise ?? why ? if i put it in my tablet or phone there is no noise at all ...
Hi, glad you liked the video! If the noise is only there when connecting to the TV then this points to a poor quality TV or fault in the TV. Using the speakers with a different device should remove the noise. Please ask if you need any help with cables to connect these great speakers!
MCL2P type 1741 and beolab 6000 pair and beolab 3500 speakers can connect to mac?
Hi, the simple answer is "yes". All of these products can connect to a Mac. Please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.com with the full details of your setup and I will be happy to explain everything you need, as this is too detailed to explain in TH-cam comments!
How do i Connect beolab 6000 to an older beocenter 7700 if i do not want to the headphones output?
Hi, yes this is possible but too complicated to answer in TH-cam comments! Please email me via the contact page at soundsheavenly.com and I will be happy to help!
Hi Steve, can this work with my sony ht-st5000 soundbar? I've got 6000 and 8000s.thanks
Yes, I can help! Basically, you have three options if you wish to use the speakers with a non-B&O TV:-
1) Connect two Beolab speakers to the headphone socket of the TV for stereo sound, with volume control from the TV remote, or
2) Connect the TV and all of the Beolab speakers to a Beosound music system, B&O Connection Hub or Core (if you have one) for stereo sound through all speakers, with volume control from the B&O remote, or
3) Add an external AV receiver with pre-out sockets (expect to pay from around £500 GBP in the UK) to allow all of the speakers to be connected for full surround sound with control from the receiver remote control.
I can (of course!) provide cables for any of the above options. If you can please let me know your preferred option, I will be pleased to advise on the cabling required.
Thanks a lot Steve, I think I would have to do the option no 1 as would be the easiest. Option 3 is a bit too much at the moment. And I don't have the B&O system at home
No problem, please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.con with the full details of your setup and I will be happy to help with the cables you need
@steve How would you connect a Beosound 9000 with a Beolab 28 pair wirelessly?
Hi, just add a B&O Transmitter 1 to the 9000 with this cable for wireless music to the Beolab 28s: 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
Would love to see a follow up video on your beolab transmitter 1.
Thanks, that is an interesting idea, I will give it some thought
@@soundsheavenly would you recommend the Transmitter 1 vs the Core?
These are for different purposes, Transmitter 1 gives a wireless connection to Beolab speakers, while Core streams music wirelessly from your phone
How can I connect the Beolab 6000 to a Samsung TV with just one optic audio connection?
Hi! Unless your TV has a headphone socket fitted, a direct cable connection to the speakers is not possible. However, you can still connect the TV optical output to the speakers by one of the options below:-
1) Buy a B&O Core from your local B&O store (approx. £600 GBP) for remote control of the speakers via the B&O app, or
2) Buy a B&O Connection Hub from your local B&O store (approx. £149 GBP) for remote control of the speakers via the TV remote, or
3) Add an AV receiver for full surround sound, with volume control from the receiver remote.
Please note that I don't sell any of the devices mentioned above, only the cables! Please let me know your preferred option and I will be pleased to advise how to get everything working.
Hello, what would you say is the best method to connect an iPhone 14 to a set of Beolab 6000 speakers? Look forward to reply.
Cheers
Mike
Hi Mike, you can either get the genuine lightning to 3.5mm adapter from an Apple store and use the cable mentioned in this vide to link the iPhone directly to the speakers, or alternatively purchase either Apple Airport Express, Google Chromecast Audio, Audiocast M5, Tibo Bond Mini or any Bluetooth receiver for wireless music from your phone to the B&O system (sorry I don't sell these devices, only the cables!). I can then help with cables for either of these options at soundsheavenly.com
Thanks for the quick reply! I though this may be the case but asked just to be certain. I’ll have a look for the cables.
Cheers
Thanks!
So can i use ac reciver with active speaker 😮
Yes. Please contact me at soundsheavenly.com for further assistance (UK and Europe only)
Wait... So you need them to be powered with the mains even when they are connected to a B&O system?
Yes, that is correct. Each Beolab speaker ALWAYS needs its own mains power connection, regardless of which device it is connected to. This is true for ALL Beolab speakers.
I'd like to connect both my beolab 6000 speakers on my new TV but it only has the digital audio output and RJ45 connection available, is there a way to do that through a cable that's like 20$? Buying a 400$ amplifier is completely out of my budget and I'd hate having to get rid of the present I got from my parent simply because I have no "cheap" way to connect it.

@@soundsheavenly You're awesome for giving such a detailed description to help me with my issue on a video you posted over a month ago towards a random stranger over the internet, tomorrow I'll take some time to see which option is the best for me, probably the cheapest one but its still good to see what else you can use out there, thank you for taking the time and helping people out.
Thanks, I’m always happy to help! Wishing you a happy Christmas!
@@soundsheavenly Thank you, merry christmas and holidays towards you as well, so after a bit of research I think that an amplifier would work best for me, the hubs tend to go around +€200 at least in my area and I can get an amplifier for around the same price which can be used for other speakers in the future, the one I had in mind was the sony str dh190, but seeing at the back of the connections I'd have no idea how to set it up towards my TV, I'm guessing I use the powerlink cables on the back of my b&o speakers and plug them into the audio inputs from the amplifier, that still doesn't get me a cable from the amplifier towards the TV's optical output though, so not sure how'd I go about handeling that, any ideas?
Hi, I’m away from work until Thursday 6th January but please email me at soundsheavenly.com after 6th January and I will be happy to help
A friend who had the speakers in storage gave them to me, one works and the other doesn't, the LED doesn't even turn red, I've changed the cable and that doesn't work either. do you know what it can be?
Sorry I don’t know about repairs, I just make cables! I suggest asking your local B&O dealer if they can recommend a repair agent in your area

You forgot to tell about HDMI ARC which you can control volume through the tv-remote of the manufacture itself. You can buy a HDMI ARC to rca that supports volumecontrol.
Thanks, I intentionally left this out as the results can be very variable. I have seen a lot of problems with volume control using this method, with speakers unexpectedly resetting to maximum volume without warning. In theory, HDMI ARC is a viable option, but in practice the results are not consistent enough for me to be able to recommend this.

A lot of people from another side want to know more about B&O but most off them do not bought from store so did not get all information and how do that corret.
Thanks for your input, I will try to keep things simple in my future videos
stereo or mini jack from a TV is super bad! Use HDMI ARC or Optical.
These speakers don't accept a digital signal, so extra equipment is needed to convert optical or HDMI ARC signals. Yes, they are better, but the connection is more complex and costly. I can help with connections for either option at soundsheavenly.com
