Beolit 17/20 stereo pair connect to turntable

6 replies

Hi guys,

I 'm considering to buy one more Beolit 17/20 to build a set up as below:

Turntable with built in Phono Pream to Beolit 17 via Aux 3.5 - stereo pairing - One more Beolit 17/20 unit

Did anyone have the similar set up like above can share some recommends?

Thank you very much!

 

I am afraid stereo pairing in the Beolit series is only possible via Bluetooth. This means that connecting a 3.5mm jack to one of your speakers will simply disable the wireless connection and you will not able to pair them.

But you can simply buy 2 RCA to 3.5mm jack cables to connect each channel from the phono preamp to your Beolits.

Oh i never think of the two rca connection. That’s a brilian idea.

Let me test it out. Thank alot for your recommendation.

Actually the beolit stereo pairing is quite buggy for my experience.

 

I would never build a setup that would be dependent on the stereo setup.

When it works it is great, but most of the time you will spend on ripping your hair out.

Get ourself a pair of Beolab 4000’s and a preamp with volume control 🙂

But wouldn’t you then get the left channel respectively the right channel to each of the Beolit.....when the input there expects a stereo/L-R input.

I wonder how that would sound - did you try it out?

 

Otherweise, I am with Leo....get a set of e.g. the BL4000’s and it will work.

If you get a Beomaster (or a Beocenter) plus a beoremote as a volume controlling preamp it wil work wonders :-)
