Beolab 2000 options

I guess that there would be more interest in having the BS3500 work that way.

A lot of people sees that as more 'genuine B&O'  than the 2000....

....which might increase your sales of cables ;-))

And there are a lot (often unused) 3500's out there nowadays.

Hi Steve,

I have recently joined the forum and have a Beolab 2000 which I would like to use with a standalone music speaker player with either an iPod/iPhone using a 3.5mm male audio jack.

Can you provide more details to the solution above and a link to the cable mentioned as the link above now does not work

Appreciate your help, Peter

Hi Peter,

Sorry but this cable is no longer available, as the parts are not available.  I have updated my previous comments on this thread to avoid any misunderstanding.  I am sorry but the only alternative that I am aware of to use this speaker without a B&O main system would be to connect the Beolab 2000 to a Beolink Converter type 11661166 with a Masterlink cable, then connect the music source to the Beolink Converter.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Spiros,

Thanks for your enquiry, please use this cable from the B1 to the Aux input of the 1611 converter:-

Hi Steve, regarding the masterlink to mini jack cable for the beolab 2000, you say the parts are not available. What parts make up the cable ? I think you used to sell them, did the cable not work for the 2000?

best wishes,

Ken

Hi Ken,

Sorry I won't be making these cables any more, as I'm not happy with the results that they give.  Some years ago, I used a specially adapted audio cable to try to give a good connection via the Masterlink plug, but these are now out of production and the other cables I have tried don't work well.

I am sorry but I won't consider offering an unreliable or poor quality solution.  I recommend forgetting about this option completely and using a Beolink Converter type 1161166 for a reliable alternative.  

Kind regards, Steve.
