assume this could be used to work with a sonos connect, which will give more flexibility?
Hello,
The BeoLab 3500 requires the trigger voltage from either a PlayMaker or Bang & Olufsen audio system / video system to activate the amplifiers. There is no 'LIne' mode like you may find on other BeoLab speakers.
Because of this, the BeoLab 3500 would have to be connected to a Bang & Olufsen product via PowerLink.
just buy a beoplay A8,does much the same from the box,with better sound than 3500.
👍
....but only if you don't need the ML function.

As stated earlier by B&O Nottingham:
[Quote] 'The modification is quite detailed and involves a lot of dismantling of the BeoLab 3500 to access the various circuits. We are still evaluating the possibility of us providing this as a service to existing BeoLab 3500 owners, depending on demand.'
-then I guess it's not an option to buy a A8...😕
-and isn't the A8 just for Apple products..? While the Playmaker is more versatile - can be used with a lot of other devices (as far as I know...)

Hey Guys,
Yes the BeoPlay A8 is a fantastic product. But this modification was aimed at an existing BeoLab 3500 owner who wanted to integrated the speaker more with his digital music.
If ML was still active in it I think you would sell a ton of people!!
Very interesting solution. 🤒
Certainly a good solution for "existing BL3500 owners".
But with a A8 (in Option 0) connected (via AUX-IN) to the PL of a BeoLink Active you can also enjoy the ML sources (in addition to AirPlay and the dock).

It might come as an unpleasant surprise... Not everybody own those Apple products!!! So we will not 'enjoy' the dock...😎
Actually there are more Android users...
And - Yes - it's about 'existing BL 3500 owners'. Not about buying a new device...😕

How can one live without? Streaming via Android devices is such a p.i.t.a.
Enjoy the dock..."
Personally I never understood the purpose of a dock on the BS8/A8. the BS8 was launched pretty much at the same time as Apple presented AirPlay...
...which made a dock unnecsesary.
OK - in some cases if guests are there or if a wifi is not available, it might be usefull - but then again,..
...I really feel sorry for the Android users who have choosen 'another path' .😕
But they surely don't need a 'BS3500 AirPlay version' either.
