Thanks bayerische!

My baby daughter is now 6 months old, so I no longer have to come into work to get some sleep 👍

Yes, its a shame about the Beolab 2000, I have heard from other Beoworlders who have modified their speakers, but other than using the ML/MCL Converter there doesn't seem to be an easily repeatable solution that doesn't need serious internal re-wiring of the speaker.

I have all the cables you need, so please let me know whenever you are ready and I will be happy to help - hope the house move goes well.....

Kind regards, Steve.

I am thinking about this too. when you power up BL2000 it starts to play the current audiostream.

Hi Aleksei,

I am sorry but the Beolab 2000 cable is not available now.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi,

Just a quick update to any future readers of this thread to apologise that the minijack to Beolab 2000 cable is no longer produced as the parts are unavailable.  The only solution now is to use a Beolink Converter type 1161166 and link this to the speaker with a Masterlink cable, then you can connect any audio source into the Aux socket of the converter.

Kind regards, Steve.

Dear Steve,

I wanted to order a ML-Minijack-Cable for my BeoLab 2000 (1641, 11268xxx, but as the link is broken I ended up reading this sad news. It also seems that I've got the wrong Beolink Converter (1615, S/W 1.0, 11246xxx). 

Since I've got some ML- and minijack-cables, is there a possibility to solder such a cable by myself?

Best regards, Peter

You'd just need to connect to the L and R channel inputs in the ML lead - the ML wiring diagram (with wire colours) is here:

Dear Guy,

thanks for your quick reply. As ML uses symmetric signals (-L [pin 13]/+L [pin 14], -R [pin 15]/+R [pin 16]) I'm not sure which pins should be connected to left/right/ground of the minijack-cable. Can you give me some advice, please?

Best regards, Peter

Masterlink is a balanced signal, hence the + and - for each channel.  However, for your purposes I think that you should be OK just connecting to L+ R+ and shield/ground.  Don't connect the L- or R- connections to anything.

If it doesn't work, or if the sound quality is poor, then you may need to add some complexity, but I would experiment as I have described first!

Dear Guy,

it is working perfect (with only a little hum). Thank you very much.

Best regards, Peter
