BL6000 powerlink

6 replies

I have just purchased a pair of BL6000's off ebay powerlink cables not included.

1st What version of powerlink do I need? I wanted to order some before the item arrives so I can give them a full test.

2nd I need to 1st fix the cable into a new house which I gutted. I presume I can run them this way

BEO2300 -----------------|         |---------------|

(or BS9000 if I decide)

 

Thanks in advance

 

1. You can use powerlink mk1 or (better) mk3.

2. As the BL6000 has a powerlink IN and OUT, you are correct setting it up this way.

Whats the difference? between mk1 and 3

 

Mk3 has an extra (blue)  wire for the system mass and is needed for icepower speakers. Otherwhise you risk the speakers are going to humm.

As the lab 6000 do not have icepower amplifiers, you can use both.

many thanks

 

Hello plumber77,

You're right in setting them up in that fashion - just make sure that you set them to left and right with the switches underneath! 😕

As for the PowerLink - you need Mk1 or Mk2 - NOT Mk3 (which is only for use with ICEpowered speakers and will buzz if used with the first-generation BL6000).
