Beocenter 2500 with Beolab 3

5 replies

Hello, Beofuns. Need yours advice. After a recent purchase Beolab 3 I try to connect them to Beocenter 2500. After starting playback the glass doors is open and don't close. ) When Beocenter was connected to Beolab 2500 everything was fine. Then I connect BL3 to Ouverture and and everything is fine too - I mean that the glass doors is close after a few seconds. I think that all this has something to do with the Powerlink MK 3 cable ?

Hi

This is weird Erm..

And what if you plug in the BL2500 now?
Everything works fine with BL 2500 . I think it has something to do with the cable -  BL3 with Powerlink MK3 vs MK1 for BL 2500.

Have a look at this thread: /forum/imported-unmapped/no-connection-to-update-server-panic-end-of-support#post-2260130

In short, users have noticed some sort of incompatibility between BC2300 (similar to 2500) doors and the BL3 speakers.  I think that there may be more threads on this issue but I can't find them.

Try moving the speakers further away from the BC2500. Or try Mk3 Powerlink cables.

You "re right , the same problem.

I used with BL3 exactly Mk 3 Powerlink Cables and think that the problem is related with ground the digital amps in BL 3 , may be BC2500 not designed for this ground ?
