Hi, Just finished setting up a Beolab 7.1 as a "soundbar" for my Panasonic TV. I went the headphone socket route, bought the adapter from Sounds Heavenly (reversed, as I am hanging it under my TV(, and I have to say the result is very impressive. It's a VERY rich, full sound, with enough bass to put most mid-level soundbar and subwoofer combos to shame. Obviously, this is "only" a stereo speaker with subwoofers, but I gave up trying to keep up with the endless additions to AV systems that come out every couple of years! Really delighted.
Superb, really good to hear that all is working well, many thanks for your purchase! These are great speakers and ideal for use with any modern TV
Hi Steve, thanks for the quick answer via email on my question. The triggered cable to connect my Beolab 7-1 with my AVR just arrived and the quality is stunning. It works perfectly fine with my lg oled. Great Job!
Thanks! Glad to hear that all is working well!
super human Steve the way you swing all that heavy old gear around :p
Thanks! ;-)
Looked like he was wrestling a crocodile
Hi Steve u helped me before getting the right connector for this working with my lgc9 which was great, i have now upgraded to the c3 but theres no jack connection, is there a way round this pls
Thanks for your enquiry. 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) Buy a Bluesound Node or Wiim Pro for stereo sound, with control of the speakers via the Bluesound or Wiim app, or
4) 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.
Thank you Steve
You are welcome, glad you liked the video!
Great video , great advices regarding B&O.
Thanks!
Superb, just what i needed to know. I will certainly be coming to you for cables. I have an ancient B&O tv which does indeed need recycling, but the speakers? My Beolab 3s and 7 are superb speakers and have plenty more life in them.
Thanks! Yes, I can help you to keep these superb speaker working with any TV or music system - please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.com when you are ready and I will be happy to help

Hello Steve.. worth watching...thank u for all the info..I have a 40 inch B&O tv, the protective screen has broken. I want to know whether the tv will work without that screen or not. Expecting ur reply soon..TIA
Glad the video was helpful. Sorry I don't know about using or repairing a broken TV - I suggest that you don't try to use this until you have obtained professional advice from a qualified B&O repairer in your area as there may be a risk of electrical shock or equipment damage.
Hi Steve, i have a Beolab 7 and 4 Beolab 8000's on my current B&O tv but i want to replace this tv with a newer up to date tv and still use the 5 speakers in surround. Do you have any suggestions on how i could make this work?
Yes, I can help! Basically, you have two options if you change the TV for a non-B&O version:-
1) Connect two Beolab speakers to the headphone socket of the TV for stereo sound, with volume control from the TV remote, or
2) 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 either option. If you can please let me know your preferred option, I will be pleased to advise on the cabling required.
Hi Steve! I have just purchased a B&O 7.2 soundbar (sound system) at a garage auction. Unfortunately, there was no cable other than the power cable included in the kit. I test-connected an old cable that was lying next to another audio set (4-5din - jack, it is not known whether it was 100% functional), but only the right side of the speaker worked (or left, depending on how the speakers were set up) and the other side made a humming noise. I hope that the right cable will solve the problem. I would like to connect this speaker to the TV via the aux input - which cable should I choose? If it doesn't work out, it's hard, but I'll have a great speaker from my favorite brand of headphones ❤️
Hi, yes I can help with the right cable at soundsheavenly.com !

Hello Steve
I have several Beolab 7 and Beolab 5 and their black paint is becoming more and more sticky every year.
It would be really great if you could explain what are the options to fix this issue if any.
Just a suggestion idea from my side ;-)
Sorry I don't know about repairing the paint, I just make cables! I suggest asking on the forum at www.beoworld.org as I'm sure someone there will know!

How much do you think it worth today (2022/23), up to 250€ or more? Would it be good to buy at this price? Thanks.

Hi Steve. Iam in a situtation where I have beolab 3 and considering to build a surround system with b&o speakers with a non-b&o television, Samsung TV. Iam quite frustrated that b&o doesnt have a good solution for a 5.1 surround system with non b&o TV (without spending thousands on the new atmos soundbars.) I really consider to build a system around a AV surround receiver with beolab 18 as front L/R, Beolab 3 in the back, beolab 19 as sub, and the beolab 7.1 as the center channel. Will this be possible? And would this be practical and I wonder if the AV receiver can do room corrections/editting as when using a passive speaker system. I wonder what your thoughts are on this kind of setup. Would it be too complicated and weird? I guess thats my concern. 😂 Also, do you by any chance know if its possible to mix passive hifi speakers with b&o aktive speakers in a surround receiver setup? Preouts/amplified outputs? 😅 hope you can help me here. If I cant find a proper way of making a surround 5.1 setup with b&o speakers and non b&o TV, I think I will go with the standard hifi passive speakers. 😢
If you have any advice for recommended devices I May could consider to get this working properly. It would be so awesome to have a full surround system with Old/new B&O speakers. I just dont know how the easiest way would be to connect this.
@@MetalMathiasTP Hi, thanks for your questions. This is too detailed to cover in TH-cam comments, but if you are in UK or Europe then please send me an email via my website at soundsheavenly.com and I can help further.
Do i need trigger cable if i got a reciver with preout ?
Hi, yes you will always need the trigger cable for Beolab 7 speakers if they are connected to a non-B&O receiver or music player, otherwise the speaker won't turn on.
GAAAA, turn it upside down So simple and bloody obvious. Thank you.
I use it as a centre mono speaker on my 7.1 system (combining the L&R channels). I have battled with it giving a clear sound as it's wall mounted above my TV and way too high.
No problem, glad to be able to help!
Hi Steve, thanks for your great videos. I have a question. What would you choose to make home theater (I have Yamaha amp with preouts): Beolab 8000 using them as L and R speaker + Beolab 7.6 as central OR because i may buy with quite good price BEOLAB 20 - so just BEOLAB 20 instead of L/R and Central. Thanks for your advice. All the best!
A centre channel carries up to 40% of the surround sound mix so always include this if you can. Beolab 20 will give great bass for action movies, but the 8000s will save you quite a bit of money if you don’t need the extra power of the 20s.
@@soundsheavenly Thanks a lot for your quick respond. I think I will take your advice. I like the sound of 8000 and they have plenty of power so it should be more then enough, especially if I add beolab 7.x.
That sounds like a good plan, please let me know if you need any help with the connections!
@@soundsheavenly yes I do:-) I've sent u a message threw you website but also via email🙂
Thanks, I will check my emails later today
Hi! I got the Beovision 7 32" center speaker, as a part of a home theater set-up.
Its connected to a reciever through pre-out. But this also means that in default the Beovision is set to max volume. Is there any way to adjust the volume of the center speaker by itself? Would a B&O remote work for that?
If the speaker is connected to a non B&O receiver, then the receiver is the only way to control the speaker volume as the speaker doesn’t have a volume control or any way to work from a B&O remote control.
@@soundsheavenly thanks for the reply! Really helpful.
Its a bit sad that the center speaker must be maxed out in volume. Ive managed to make it fit in nicely, volume vise, by lowering it to -10 in channel selection in the surround sound settings, and letting the front, sub and surround speakers go to +7, and then they equal out. But this leaves a buzzing noise when the film is quite, or there is no sound going through the speaker. Otherwise than that, it works great.
Just wondering if the B&O speaker had a remote control receiver itself, or only through the Beovision TV.
@nicolaimichagin6309 the B&O speakers don’t have a remote control receiver, they rely on the tv to provide volume control
@@soundsheavenly Thank you. Ive got another quick question. The B&I speaker, is connected through a pre-out center connection in my rather old Pioneer reciever. It runs with a Dolby Atmos signal. Anyway, im experiencing close to non bass coming from my B&O center speaker, but everything from the subwoofer. I think thats a shame, because the soundbar has those two great small mid-range woofers underneath it, and I would love them to come into play. Do you know, if thats a setting issue on my receiver, or does no bass normally come through a center pre-out connection? Since it relys on a subwoofer? Hope you know what I mean. Thank you very much.
@@nicolaimichagin6309 Hi, that sounds like a setting in the receiver menu. Try setting the center speaker to "Large" or "Full Range" in the receiver settings, or adjust the subwoofer cross-over frequency to give more bass to the centre channel.
Hello Steve, i have a question, im gonna hang a beolab 7.2 at the underside of my peojection screen, what is better, just using a dedicated splitter and going directly to the audio aut from my projector ( now i have a pair of beolab 4000 next to my projector) or is it better to use a beomaster 7000 and then audio from the projector to the beomaster?
If you have a Beomaster in the room, that is the best way to connect the speakers. Please drop me a message at soundsheavenly.com with the full details of the setup and I will be happy to help!
Hi Steve it would be pointless adding a centre speaker to a Beovision 11 as it has 6 built in quality drivers ?
Hi, yes that would be a wasted effort, but adding rear speaker could greatly improve the sound for movies
@@soundsheavenly I’ve got 6000s as side speakers I was possibly in time put 3s in rear
@Smog104 yes that would work well, please let me know if you need any cables!
Hi Steve I have this soundbar, what cable do I need exactly to connect a optical receiver to it?
Please drop me a message via the contact page at soundsheavenly.com and I will be happy to help with any technical questions
Hi Steve!
My speaker has had no major problems until randomly one day it blew. However, sound still plays but it is very fuzzy and staticky. Was wondering whether the speaker is done or still has some life in it. Cheers, Angus
Hi Angus, sorry I don't know about repairs, I just make cables! I suggest asking your local B&O store if they can recommend a repair agent in your area. Please ask if you need any help connecting the speaker once you have got it working and I will be pleased to assist with cables.
Hi Steve,
I have an LG 49UM7100PLB TV without a headphone socket and I'm trying to connect my BEOLab 7.1 soundbar to it. I've tried optical+ DAC and also HDMI ARC+ARC Audio Extractor. The result being the output on MAX volume and not having volume control through the TV remote. Any idea in how to connect my tv to the beolab 7.1 WITH volume control?
Thank you.

Thanks Trevor! 👍🏻
Great guidance! But may I know does SONY TV support output 7.1 or 5.1 via heandphone socket?

Hey Steve, I have a Beolab 7-4 that has a broken power-in housing. So where the power cable plugs in is broken and the two wires are just dangling in the hole where the hard plastic housing was. Do you know where I could find that part? Thanks
I am sorry that I don't stock any B&O spare parts or offer repairs, as I just make cables. I suggest contacting Multi Care at www.multicare.org.uk for B&O parts or repair advice. If you need any cables for your B&O system once you have got this working, please ask and I will be happy to help!
@@soundsheavenly I've ordered cables for my Pentas and 7-4 from you already. Thanks for helping people be able to use these speakers with more setups. I'll talk to a B&O dealer in my area and see if I can find something
Thanks! I’m always happy when I can help someone to keep their B&O alive!
Dear Steve, may I kindly ask for your expertise and advice? I am contemplating, dreaming perhaps of one day getting the Beolab 5 speakers. Which center channel speaker would you say fits these the best in regards to timbre matching? Would that be the Beolab 10 or Beolab 7.4 or a different one please? Thank you in advance your your kind help and guidance.
Hi, for many situations, you will actually get superb sound with just a pair of Beolab 5, there is often no need for a centre channel speaker unless you are planning a full surround sound system with multiple speakers. Please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.com with the full details of your plans and I will be happy to help you to get everything connected!
Hello Steve,
How does Beolab 7-2 compares to the new Beosound Stage? Will 7-2 be better than Stage as a soundbar for TVs? And since using on a non-B&O tv, 7-2 could only link through 3.5mm headphone but Stage could link through HDMI. Would that make a huge difference in sound quality? thanks!
Beolab 7-2 was a great speaker when it was new and it still sound good today. However, Stage is AMAZING! There is no comparison, get the Stage if funds allow. Otherwise go for the Beolab 7-2 and I can help with cables.
@@soundsheavenly Got it, thank you! There’s another set up I’m also considering is Beolab 8000/8002+ Beolab 2. Thinking of saving up more for the set. I assume the set will perform better than Stage? And I could also get the cables from you to work the set on non B&O tv, right?
@@kevinckwu That will be a great setup! Please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.com for advice on connections (this is too detailed to cover in TH-cam messages!)

@@andrewgreenwood8727 Sorry to hear that, it may be an issue with your device or browser, as I can see all the comments here on my PC? 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 7-1 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.
If you don’t already have the mains power cable for the B&O speaker, I keep these in stock here in a choice of lengths:-

Hi Steve, great video, thanks for sharing. I'm having a problem getting sound out of my Beolab 7-4 (centre) , when reconnecting it back up to my Beovision 7-40 (Mk2, I think?). I've plugged the centrelink cable back into the TV and centre speaker, but I'm getting no sound at all now. Any ideas? 😕
Thanks. This sounds as though the speaker may not be set up in the TV menu - please download the TV manual at beoworld.org and go through the setup process to assign the speaker, as the TV may have lost its connection settings.
thank you for this youtube.
personally i am using a Denon reciever which only has 1 RCA pre-out socket for the center channel. i am currently using a set op BeoLab 3's as front channels and a set of beoLab 4's as rear channel. i am on the lookout for a nice center channel. ideally it would be B&O as well but the only one that will fit physically in my room is the BeoLab 7.4 if i were to place it horizontally. in your youtube you tell us that the BeoLab 7.2 can be placed upside-down. do you have any experience with the 7.4 being used horizontally as opposed to vertically?
Hi, Beolab 7-4 won't work well horizontally as the acoustic lens won't spread the sound as intended. However, you still have a wide choice of centre speakers from the B&O range. Either one or two Beolab 3 or 4 speakers can be used (I can provide cables to use two speakers in the single Centre Pre-out socket) or you can use Beolab 7-4 vertically (or upside down!), or any of the other Beolab 7 speakers horizontally if you prefer. Please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.com if you would like more detailed advice and I will be happy to help!
Hi Steve I have a Beolab 7.2. Can I connect to a non-B&O TV with a beosound core or should I use Connection Hub? Thanks
Hi, yes, either option is possible! Please get in touch at soundsheavenly.com to let me know which one you choose and I can help you to get everything working!
Hi Can you use a 7-4 as center and a 7-6 as stereo?
Hi, that may not work well as the stereo signals via the Beolab 7-6 are so close together, there is no room for a mono centre channel in the middle. Better to choose separate stereo speakers that you can place as far apart as required.
@@soundsheavenly ok that is ok, but i thougt that the better voice of 7.4 would be a benefit, and 7.4 are cheap 100$
Each speaker is good as a centre channel with other separate speakers, but multiple Beolab 7-x speakers aren't really intended to work together in the same room

Hi Steve what voltage the trigger cable gives and needs the speaker to turn on is it 12 volts or lower? Thank you
Sorry I can’t tell you how to make your own cables, as doing this incorrectly risks damaging your speakers. However, I can help with the correctly wired and tested cables to give the best sound quality at soundsheavenly.com
@@soundsheavenly i dont make my own cable bought one and has a voltage selection from 1 till 12 i was only curious how many volts it needs
If you bought the cable on my website then it will be correct and safe to use with your speakers. If you purchased it anywhere else, please don’t connect it unless the cable seller can guarantee that it is safe and suitable for your speakers
Is it possible to remove the speaker from the beovision 10 40 inch TV and use it on.a non- B&O television?
Sorry I don't know anything about dismantling B&O products, so my answer to your question would be "NO"...
hi Steve, if i want to combine a central speaker to my Beolab 8000,would u suggest this of the beolab 3500?
Hi, Beolab 3500 won’t work for this but either Beolab 4000 or any of the Beolab 7 speakers are ideal. Please ask at soundsheavenly.com if you need any help with cables!
Please see my reply above…
@@soundsheavenly sorry missreaded, thank you
Thanks, no problem! 👍🏻
Hi Steve, do you have any ideas of how to mount a 55" HDTV on to my BeoVision 7-40 floor mount? And also, how the heck do I remove the old TV? I just like the floor mount so much because the BeoLab 7.2 looks soooo great on that. And yes I do know I will loose the movement-thing with tilt and stuff.. But I'm OK with that :)
Hi, sorry I don't know about stands, only cables! Good luck with your project, why not ask on the forum at www.beoworld.org as someone there may know about the stand?
Steve at Sounds Heavenly Im giving it a go this week, Will keep you posted:)
Okay, so what you need to do to remove the television from the floor stand is to unscrew 2 umbraco screws in the middle of the two coloums, then you tilt the TV all the way back and lift it up. Then its loose:)
After that I installed a wall-mount for my new TV on the floor stand. It looks GREAT and now Im using the BeoLab A8 for sound but as soon as I get my trigger cables Im using my BeoLab 7.2 :)
And the A8 actually looks pretty awesome below the 7.2.:)
@@xenimus86 Superb, thanks for the update!
Can I add something to this speaker to give me blue tooth that I can play music from my phone with out a lead
Hi, yes you can add Apple Airport Express, Google Chromecast Audio or any Bluetooth receiver with a headphone socket via the same cable mentioned in this video to give you wireless music from your phone to this speaker - please ask at soundsheavenly.com if you have any further questions!
What if the speaker didn’t light up what is the meaning of that
Hi, Beolab 7 speakers have their light hidden at the back, under a rubber cover inside the socket panel. If you remove the rubber cover with a thumbnail, the light should always be either red or green when the speaker is powered on. No light means either no mains power, or a speaker fault.
Thank you
Hi steve!
I am trying to connect the BeoLab 10 to the preout (center speaker) of the av receiver.
It is an av receiver with a trigger terminal.
tell me which cable i need
thanks.
Hi, when used with a non-B&O receiver that has RCA pre-out sockets, your Beolab 10 centre speaker needs a powered cable to generate the trigger signals to activate it:-
