Not sure I understand your question completely, but the way they should be connected is:

- Powerlink to your beomaster (use 1 per speaker or daisy chain the speakers)

- 1 Power connection per speaker (is this the "bare wires" you talk about)

- On the back of the speaker the amplifier is connected to the speaker with short speaker cables.

- Use the switches on the back to setup the speakers properly: 1 switch is for right/left. The other for level; you do not need to set this if you use powerlink if I remember correctly

Hope this is of any help. A picture would help to make sure I understand what you mean.

They need to be Mark 2 Powerlink cables for the displays to work.

Are you sure you have Beolab speakers and not just the Beovox panels? The actual panels are identical except for the amplifier which in the Beolab bolts on the bottom and has wires running externally between the amplifier and speaker. For Beolab speakers, Powerlink Mk 2 are, as stated above, necessary.

Bieele,

There are two sets of bare wires hope that helps.

Peter,

I am pretty sure they are beolab.

And how do I know if I have mark 2 powerlink speakers?

Have a look at the product pages.

These are Beolabs

Is that what you have???

Or, these are Beovox's

Post a picture of the front and the back of one of your speakers - that will sort out any confusion.

Graham could even have asked if yours look like the ones on his avatar! 😂

As an aside, did you get the wall brackets for them too?  If not, one of our site sponsors STBBrackets makes them.

Yes I have the labs, type 6703, USA. I will get a picture on here asap.

And yes I managed to get the brackets.

The mains cables are permanent two core wire into the lower edge of the amplifier module.

Signal connection is via sockets on the back of the amplifier. Powerlink sockets are 9 pin DIN type and you will need Mk2 Powerlink cables to connect between the speakers and the Beomaster 4500.

The user manual for the speakers is on site for Silver/Gold members. Can I suggest that you upgrade your membership and download the manual which will reveal all!!
