Hi
I have a Sonos system set up with a zoneplayer that has a pair of rca outputs. I fancy connecting up a pair of B&O speakers to it to save buying amp. I understand these speakers use a powerlink1 cable.
Firstly is it possible to get a powerlink to twin rca cable to work? Secondly is there a connecting cable between these speakers or is a second powerlink cable needed from the source? I have been searching for a rear view of these speakers but can't find one.
Thanks Alan
Beolab 8000 speakers have a line input ( rca phono) which is switched at the rear connection,this is monitored for sound so will turn on/off on their own.you must use a pre-amp or a variable volume output as a source.
Does your sonus system has pre-out? you can directly connect one single rca cable to each output into the speakers. make sure, each speakers is set to left and right each channel. these switches can be found above the rca input of the beolab 8000 next to the power link input. You have to understand that by using powerlink source cable is ideal only for other bang&olufsen equipments......however, there are other options, if u don't have a pre-amp output of your amplifier, you can also modify the speaker out of the amp, thru a conversion cable available from bang & olufsen, with an rca cable left and right channel, without interfering with the powerlink.
