Hi Peter,

Welcome to Beoworld!  When used with the Loewe TV via the Audiolink adapter, your Beolab 2 subwoofer needs a powered cable to generate the trigger signals that would normally be sent from a B&O television:-

Steve,

Thanks for your prompt supply.

Unfortunately I cannot use a standard cable as it has to be fed through conduit piping in the wall.

So I cut off one plug of a standard powerlink cable, fed it trough the conduit piping and want to solder a RCA plug to it.

I used below schedule

B&O                                                                                                                           RCA

1 Grey   ---------

2 Shield ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shield

3 Brown ---------                                                          /

4 Yellow ----------------------------------------- + 5 V        /

5 Green ----------                                                     /

6 White  ----------                                                   /

7 Shield ---------------------------------------------------/                                            -------- Signal

8 Pink    ----------

I connected the shields and the trigger signal. This all seems to work fine as the light on BL2 turns from red to green as I switch on my TV.

Where do I connect my RCA signal? Should I connect both 2 and 7 shield together? Did I make a mistake or should it work?

Regards

Hi,

Sorry I can't advise you on soldering or wiring pinouts, I would suggest contacting a local installer to help you with this work if you are unsure.  There is a risk of damaging equipment if cables are wired incorrectly, so I would suggest getting professional help unless you know exactly what needs to be done.

Kind regards, Steve.

If you can't use the old cable as a draw wire for Steve's cable, then perhaps look through Peter Pans many posts. He has graphics on cable configs.

Good luck.

I have no experience wit Loewe audio link adapter, but I know Powerlink audio signal is PIN3 and PIN5 (Brown, Green).

GND is PIN2. I`d first try to use RCA left/right outputs to feed the BL2 and then connect Bl8000s to PL output of the BL2.

And yes, as BL2 needs the additional ground on PIN7, I`d connect both GNDs.

You will find more info about Powerlink in the ML handbook, starting page 101...

Hope this helps

Stefan thanks,

The Beolink handbook seems a comprehensive work.

I'll start studying tonight ;-)

Thank you all for your help.

The B&O side works fine, the problem seems to originate from the audiolink adapter.

Hi VillaMH

How to connect

Merry Christmas / Peter Pan. 

Hello Peter Pan, I am building a new cable for my fathers old BeoLab14 speakers as no other option will work in his flat. I found a satisfactory core and connector and then could not find the PIN diagram. Should have first things first I see. Can you share the information? Thanks from the Yule Dog!
