Beolab 6000 to Beomaster 3000

24 replies

Hi, just got a pair of Beolab 6000 which I want to connect to my Beomaster 3000 (which also is connected to the Beogram 3000).

How do I connect the speakers to the Beomaster?

I only got the 8 pin powerlink-cables from the Beolab 6000 speakers, but there is no such connection on the beomaster. Only a 7 pin and a RCA (red/white) connection.

Please help me! :)

 

 

You need an attenuator from the speaker output of the BM3000 to the powered speakers BL6000.

Something like this-

It can't be done easily as you ideally need an amplifier with a Powerlink Output, which the BM3000 doesn't have.

Get in touch with Steve at Sounds Heavenly (sponsor at foot of page) for options, but you possibly need to buy one of these:

Thank you for the response guys, the speakers I already use for my Beomaster and Beogram is the Beoplay S8.

Is there any options to connect the Beolab 6000 directly in the them instead (using the connection hub or directly to the bass using a RJ45 - powerlink converter.

To clearify, I have a setup of Beomaster 3000, Beogram 3000 connected to my existing Beoplay S8 (works really well) and now I want to use the Beolab 6000 I got as extra speakers for the system! :)

Hi hejsam,

Thanks for your enquiry - the replies above are correct that you can use the Beolab 6000s directly with the Beomaster via my attenuator if you wish.

If you prefer to use the S8 Hub, this is also possible as follows:-

1) Use an RJ45 to Powerlink cable  from the Hub to the first Beolab 6000: link

2) Use a Powerlink cable between the two 6000s: link

3) Use an RJ45 to Powerlink cable from the second 6000 to the S8 subwoofer:

Thank you Steve, I really appreciate your work! :) 

I found an interesting converter on a Swedish site:

https://www.beoshop.se/product/rj45-kontakt

Would it be so easy with that converter that one powerlink-cable goes from each Beolab 6000 speaker in to the converter then the RJ45-cable to the Beoplay S8?

If so which line-out should I use, (connection hub or the subwoofer)? 

 

Hi hejsam,

Yes, I also stock that item:

Hi,

My idea was to use the original satellite speakers as front speakers, and then the 2 beolab 6000 as backspeakers (behind my couch).

Found a problem though There is only one Line-out on the whole Beoplay S8 system (on the connection hub) and it goes to the subwoofer. And the subwoofer doesnt have any Line-out. Searched on your website but could not find any adapter where one rj45 line-out- splits it to two.

Do you understand my problem? :)
