hi

doas somebody know the compatibility with BeoLab 5000 Active Loudspeakers to some new B&O product(beosound 2300,2500,3000,3200,or beosound 4or some beosistem) and if the display showing which source was playing and at what volume?

BeoLab speakers were designed to match Beosystem 6500, 4500, 3500 and Beocenter 9500 and 8500.

Beolab 5000s will work with all modern systems moreso any system which has powerlink.

I use mine in a link setup via a BS9000 if that helps and still has use of its display etc.

Sound awesome!

They will work perfectly - you do need fully wired Powerlink cables though.

but what about the dispay

doas it show the surce and the volume if is conected with beosound 2300,2500,3000 or beosound 4

 

Yes, display shows that information with all above mentioned Beocenters / Beosounds.
Peter already mentioned that you will need the fully wired Powerlink-cables.

 

 

I had mine connected to my BeoVision 5 for some time - sound great and displays are fully functional! So even if you route them through the TV to do surround - they are a great choice!
N.MUSIC will show as "A.TP 2", and N.RADIO as "PHONO", but that is only relevant if you use a BeoPort.
But if connected directly to Beoport you won't get any display - my 4500s display fine connected to the BS3200 but nothing when connected to beoport - which is where I use them 🙁.

my local dealer inform me that beolab 5000 dispay dont show nothig when is conected with on beosound 4 ???

did somebody try this configuration???
