TAPE 2 is also a fixed output.  Looking at the circuit diagram the output pins (1 and 4) are wired in parallel with AUX.

EDIT:  As a silver member you can look at the service manuals here: link

Part two, second page 2-4 has the stage you are interested in and is quite easy to follow.

Hi Guy,

I guess reading the circuit isn't really something I'm good at, but I will give it a try tonight. Anyways, if TAPE 2 supplies me with a fixed line level output that is good enough for me. Maybe I will want to remote control the 9500 from the other room in the future LOL and then it's back to new cables....

The AUX socket on my 9500 is used right now for INPUT of two sources (via switch), bluetooth and audiochannel from a Mac mini.

The outputs are still there simultaneously - you just need a suitable cable to get at them (5-pin DIN to 4 x RCA or similar).

You're right that the line in/out dummy plug needs to be there, or you'll silence the internal amps of the Beocenter.

EDIT: Tape2 is fine as well, and easier if you don't have anything connected to it right now! But... why don't you connect (say) Bluetooth to AUX and you Mac Mini to Tape2 and avoid the external switch?

Hi Mika,

for the AUX: I use bluetooth nearly all the time, so I rather seldom need to use the switch. But you are right, I could use TAPE 2 as INPUT for the Mac Mini.

I think I check for a cable with 4 RCAs and then I'll see...

Hi everybody,

it's been quite a while, but I just recently was able to check again for that line connection.

Here's what I found:

My solution rigth now is to work with a wireless sender station I had around in my office. This is sending the signal via radio frequency (no WLAN, no Bluetooth) to the recieving active speaker. The radio connaction works fine for my needs (its just some mono sound while doing the dishes, so I don't care too much). 

But there's a problem: the radio connection works best if the sender recieves a strong input signal (read: LOUD). Right now it works when I connect the sender to the PowerLink out. This way it is of course affected by the output level in the main room. As long as I play my music at a quite „present“ volume level in that room, everything is fine. But as mentioned in the former posts I want to be independent of that rooms volume level.

It was suggested that I'd use the TAPE2 outs instead which would give me line level. The problem now is that line level has a too low output to give a strong signal for the sender. Which gives a low volume level in the recieving speaker. And when I crank up that speakers volume to the max it gives a lot of static.

IS THERE ANY WAY OF ADJUSTING THE LINE LEVEL?

Hope somebody can help here...
