Avant 75 + Beolab Penta?

17 replies
Hi All

I tried to connect my Beolab Penta with my new Avant but no luck? Maybe I did something wrong?

Powerlink from Avant (RJ45 to 8pin) into ML/MCL converter. Converter has 2 old pin outputs for the speakers.

It didn't work.

Any ideas?

You'll need the 'fully wired' PL cable.

(Otherwise the converter won't turn on/trigger on).

Ask your B&O dealer or Steve at SoundsHeavenly for help (and details).

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

My RJ45 to Powerlink cable was from Steve.

Maybe not the right spec? There's only one of them on the site with different lengths.

This - from Steve - should be the right one - (is that the one you have?).

Please post some photos of the Pentas next to your Avant once you have everything set. Up. I was thinking of mating my Pentas with an Avant 55. I'd love to see how this looks.🙂

I have put them away in storage while the house is being done.

I wish I knew about what MM said earlier.

I was going to keep them in the living room for a while until the house gets complete.
