Hey,
I recently inherited an older BeoPlay V1 40" and I am trying to figure, how/if I can get this to work in a surround setup with my already owned BeoSound Mozart speakers.
I looked through the forums, but didn't find good answers, thus it seems like the forums from 2012-22 is out of service?
I know, I can get BeoLabs and connect with PowerLink directly, but would rather not get new speakers out of aesthetic choices.
I am hoping some in here might have some suggestions on how to do this most affordably with my current products! :)
This is what I got:
BeoPlay 1
4 x BeoSound Emerge
2 x BeoSound Level
2 x BeoSound A5
1 x BeoSound A9
In my research I've already stumbled upon some options, but I don't know if any is feasible.
Option 1: Connect BeoSound speakers directly with PowerLink to the TV -> Can this even be done?
Option 2: Use BeoConnect Core as middle layer between BeoSound speakers and TV -> can latency be an issue?
Option 3: Use third party decoder, like Almando (
The v1 can do the decoding, so I don’t think the Almando is necessary or helpful as the speakers still don’t have Powerlink inputs.
Option 1 I is the simplest, and whilst potentially not ideal, you could use a power link to line-in cable on any of those Beosound speakers you have. I think that’s the only/easiest input into them from the V1?
As usual, I’m sure Steve @ Sounds Heavenly would be able to advise and make up the cables you’d need.
