Beosound 9000 & Spotify

6 replies

Hi there,

I'm trying to integrate Spotify with my Beosound 9000 + Beolab 8000 system. I do this by connecting my iPhone via AUX, but unfortunately two things happen:

1) Sound quality is poor

2) Sound volume is very low

Is there a better way to listen to my Spotify playlists via BO than the one I'm trying?

Cheers, Martin

Thank you for your response!

So, I checked their site and I assume I should be going with the Chromecast Audio. Do you know if Chromecast should be plugged into the 9000 AUX or into my active speakers?

Thanks again,

Martin

You can plug it wherever you want. I would plug it to the bs9000.

I have a Playmaker connected to my A Aux on my BS9000, and a turntable connected to the Playmaker aux in. I stream from either my PC (iTunes) or my iPad/iPhone (Spotify) to the Playmaker. Volume is adjusted to it's comparable to the CD player volume, and I use a phono preamp that has adjustable gain so I can level match it to the CD volume level as well. Works fine.

Thank you guys for all your suggestions!
