Hi all! 

 

Hope I ask this question the right place!

I recently purchased a couple of BeoLab 6000's, and I am so impressed with them. 

 

However, I'm facing an unfortunate situation. I don't have anything to connect them to, other than a Logitech BT adapter, through 2 phono to minijack. 

 

And that works pretty well, besides when I need to connect to them. 

The Logitech BT adapter plays a hysterically loud sound to announce that it's in pairing mode. After that, if I want to remove it from the Bluetooth receiver to bypass that sound, they crackle. And I know you are not supposed to do that to speakers connected via line in, but it's the only option I've got if I want to avoid that loud noise. For a starter, that sound the Logitech adapter plays, is (I guess) played at full volume through the BeoLab 6000, and while that is a horrible DB level to reach, I'm also afraid that it'll damage those beautiful 6000's. 

 

My question is, what are you all doing when connecting BeoLab with Phono? 

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I really couldn't find any relevant posts for me.

Your problem comes down to this: You need something to work as a preamplifier that will give you volume control and that it will be connected to the input of your Beolabs. As far as I know the Beolab 6000 does not have volume control , thus is set to maximum gain.

Well, that doesn't really matter to me, as long as it's a good and reliable solution. 

 

Mostly, I just need to know which kind of product would work for me. And that's very difficult, because I don't have too much knowledge in this area!

Take a look at the Yamaha WX-C50 for example. It combines Bluetooth and network music streaming and of course it will give you the necessary volume control.

It's a good price, but I can't really find any info on the product regarding to volume control! Can you enlighten me? With this product, my speakers won't Play at full volume when they start up?
