Interesting, but.... there is a difference. If you connect them to a Beosound the PL will always have the right and left channel. if you PL connect the speaker to a BV7 and instruct to play for example "front right" to this PL connection then it only will play this channel. That said, with the quoted post in mind, you should not chain the speakers but feed/connect them separately.Why do I need a special cable?You don’t!the Beosystem 3 has more powerlink sockets and if I use for every Beolab an extra socket (one for left, the other one for right…..) this would not work?Correct, you’re right this would work.We have this discussed here too …/forum/general-discussion-and-questions/2-x-beolab-74-as-stereo-speakers#post-2123003

Could be .... but I have my further misgivings with the mono speaker BL7.4
I dont try that out because i had only 2 PL DIN/DIN cable and a DIN-DIN/RJ45 splitter from the BL7.4 to the BVE
BUT why is that splitter working with every other BL speaker and only NOT with the BL7.4?
Now is it as it is in my setup with my left/right channel splitter and I am happy with this.

Hi Sir... so.. you are just sending 1 channel to the BL 7-4? (L or R) correct? ive been having issues also sending both channels to the same speaker..
hi,
how you can see in my setup that I have two BL7.4. Left and right.
I splitted the stereo powerlink signal from my BVE with a special splitter cable for the left and the right side.
You cant hear a stereo signal from only one BL7.4 speaker. The BL7.4 was to build as a center speaker for BV7
In my setup that works pretty good but the opinion are divided here.
It is up to you to try something out.

The BL7-4 hardwires internally the left and right channel. So, in a stereo setup you need to split the cable into a dedicated left or right channel.
If you use a powerlink socket on for instance a BS3 you will notice that 2 channels will give sound on the BL7-4 on the used socket.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.
