Hi All I see the BeoMaster 7000 has a Line In/Out port and I wanted to connect this to the Line In of my BS Core. All the speakers are connected to the Core. I bought all the cables relating to the BeoGram from Steve but I might have bought the wrong cables lol. I’m sure he will reply on this post. At the moment, I am able to use the Powerlink port from the BeoMaster 7000 to the BS Core line in and this switches on automatically via line sense. My problem now is that I have dual volume control and BeoMaster always starts off very low in volume. I have to crank it up to 60 then let the BS Core take over. Can I use the Line Out from the BeoMaster to the Line In of the BS Core? I’m probably stressing for no reason as it may just be the wrong cables.

You can use that Line-In/Out port, but then the Beomaster will not play anything thru its own amplifier. That existing clear plastic plug is a crossover, output-to-input. (I used that jack to loop in an equalizer.) I don't know about selecting sources with the remote control and proper Core integration, but would use the output pins on the Tape2 connector to get a line-level output (which is always supplied). That way no surprises when someone plugs passive speakers into the Beomaster and it "doesn't work"!

How about trying the Aux/Tv port!

Hi Everyone

Thanks for the advice.

MM, the Aux/TV port is unfortunately an input.

Trackbeo, so can I use this as Line Out to the core?

All I want to do is select Line In on the Core and then control the Beomaster stack with the Beolink 7000.

I suppose volume control will be from the Core but I’m happy with that if it’s possible.

I don't own a Core, so not sure of which pin-to-pin cable... But solely regarding audio signals supplied and received, yes, that should work. Using the Beolink 7000 to drive the Beosystem as an (unknown type, non-integrated) auxiliary source" will certainly work. But that's what I meant about "remote control and proper Core integration" -- using two remotes is fine but maybe someone with more experience has a B&O integrated solution? For example, my understanding is that the DataLink connector for Tape2 is capable of powering up the system -- that's how the "play" button on Tape1 or CD7000 fires up the main unit. But is there some way that the Core could trigger this? I dunno.

Trackbeo, thanks for confirming!

I probably have the wrong cable as these were for BeoGrams.

What I need is a proper cable from BeoMaster Line Out to BS Core Line In or maybe a combination.

I’m sure Steve will see this and advise everyone.

All I want to do is now get rid of this dual volume control.

I have a BS9000 on an NL/ML converter integrated in various zones including this Core to distribute 6 CDs.

For me, the BeoMaster is local up close operation hence I don’t mind it not fully integrated or using a dedicated remote for control without volume… ??‍♂️??‍♂️

Thank you for all the advice!

Hi Kiran,

Which speakers are you using please? It is often simpler to link the Core as an input to the 7000 via the Tape socket and connect the speakers to the 7000.

Please feel free to email me and I can help with the best option for your needs.

Kind regards, Steve

Speakers are 2 BeoLab1 and 1 BeoLab2.

I connect them to the Core so I can Airplay to the Core and this instantly fires up the speakers.

It’s weird way of connecting but it works for me…
