I'm wanting to put the wiring in the walls. Thus I'd need to buy or make some wall plates.
My question is, are the powerlink cables just 8 pin DIN cables. Thus we could use a simple and cheap chassis jack like this for the wall plate.??

8 pin DIN for powerlink cables

Yep, they're just DIN connections.

They're regular DIN, not mini.
Thanks for the quick reply, Austin!
Does it matter whether it is a MK-3 or Mk-1 cable?
As I understand it, to connect Beolab 8000 speakers to a Beosound 9000 I only need a 4-core wire cable, correct?
Fewer wires to solder the better!🙂

Hi Al,
there are two different DIN plugs available with 8 pin - make sure to use the 080 type as shown in the picture attached. You will only need four wires but you have to use a cable with two separately shielded wires for the left and the right channel, GND (shield) and one wire for the Speaker-On signal. I would recommend an original powerlink cable because it is difficult to obtain another suited cable.
Hello Hagen,
yes, I plan to use custom length B&O power cable (without connectors) and 8-pin DIN wall plates. Since I am only connecting the 8000 speakers and the Beosound 9000 I am wondering whether I should go to the trouble and making 8 connections as shown here:

or just the minimum 4 ? [shown here: http://www.beoworld.org/beotech/misc2.htm]
Any suggestions?
Vielen Dank!
