I have a Beosound 3200 with hard drive. I would like to connect a B&O subwoofer via the masterlink socket as the aux socket on my Beosound 3200 is already in use. Could someone please tell me which B&O subwoofers would be compatible, if any?
Thanks.

Use a powerlink socket to connect Beolab 2 or Beolab 11.
Best would be to connect the 2 speakers attached to the Beosound 3200 right now to the subwoofer (so filtering of frequencies is managed by the Sub).

I’d say none without some tricks. Steve of Sounds Heavenly probably has one up his sleeves 🙂I once jury rigged a master link cable to drive some 6000s as an experiment — but issues like trigger signal and keeping the subwoofer alive would be beyond me — however others on the forum have that expertise. Another option would be a black box approach. Here the issues might include signal delay in getting the audio signal to transit the ML input > black box processing > PL output. The black boxes I am thinking of are:1. An Active kit2. A BLC NL/ML Converter 3. The predecessor of the Essence (my mind is drawing a blank; MM will know if it can be done as he has one), and finally?4. One of the Almado boxes ???
Ralf’s answer is far more sensible. For example I have a powerlink from my Essence to a BL11 subwoofer and then a daisy chain to two BL6000s. Note to self: do not answer any BeoWorld questions after 🥂🥂You powerlink socket to connect Beolab 2 or Beolab 11.Best would be to connect the 2 speakers attached to the Beosound 3200 right now to the subwoofer (so filtering of frequencies is managed by the Sub).Ralf
