Beolab 8000 to core

3 replies

Hello.
I got a pair of Beolab 8000 mk1. Can i buy a Beosound Core and set them up on this? 
How do i connect the BL8000 to my core?
Do i need any splitters or anything?

The core has a RJ45 -> Powerlink port, should i buy a RJ45 adapter and put in my BL8000 cable or what should i do? 

Do i need a splitter?

You can use an adaptor or connect a RJ45 <> PL cable to one BL8000 and connect both BeoLabs to each other with your current PL cable. There are also RJ45 to 2xPL splitters available.

It all depends on your installation requirements and your current cabling. Steve has got you covered anyway :)

You need the RJ to 2x PL or a older PL splitter. The BL8000 has only 1 PL socket.
