Beolink Active Reference Manual error????

6 replies

Okay..... not to be the alarmist of the site.....

Who else has a Beolink Active????  The reference manual shows that there are 2 active speakers connected to the Beolink active...indicating that there are 2 Powerlinks ....yes???

The problem is....I've got detailed notes that on my Active it says 1 is Powerlink and 1 is Datalink???? What's up with that??

I know it doesn't make sense as you'd have to add a powerlink splitter to get stereo....

I've shipped mine down to south america....and i'm really wondering what the deal is with this.....

Hi Frank

I have BeoLink Active, and it is true, there IS only one powerlink socket. You have to daisy-chain your speakers, or get a splitter. Not entirely logical - but who has ever blames B&O for being logical......

Thanks Lunds....so ....since it's not in the manuals......what does it DO??????????

I mean...is an Active also a ML driver??

Could you Datalink in from an older Beocenter and then come out of that with Active speakers AND MASTERLINK...?????

 The possibilities open....

Anybody know....can an Active Kit act as a ML driver??
Thanks Santiago.........
