Beolab 4 pc speakers

Hi Mdjolly1973,
Yes, you can use the Beolab 4PC speakers with your system, they just lack the 8 pin Powerlink socket that is fitted to the "full" version of the Beolab 4. Hence you would need to use different cables, like the ones in the link below:-
As your Beovision 8-26 only has a single Powerlink socket fitted, you would need a coupel of Powerlink Splitters (like this one: ) to give you enough Powerlink sockets to plug the extra speakers into.
If you need any further help, please feel free to ask.
Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks so much steve for a quick response!Do you know if they are the same speaker with identical sound quality just with differant wires?Cheers
I believe they lack the position adjustment switch, so corner/wall/free ..... the master ink version has that ....
Oh right :-(
Yes,
That is correct, the adjustment switch is missing on the PC version (sorry for forgetting to mention that) 😳 However, thhis is not normally a problem, as your other "full Beolab 4" speakers will have this switch. Hence, you can connect your "full Beolab 4" speakers via the same type of Powerlink to Line cables as would be needed for the "PC" version of the speakers and set them to the "Line" position so that all four speakers will be at the same level and will behave in the same way.
Hope this help!
Kind regards, Steve.
