Connecting a Beosound 3000 MkII to a regular amplifier

5 replies

Hi, 

Probably a no-brainer for most of you, but new to me! 

Since a few days I'm the proud owner of a BEOSOUND 3000 in mint condition. 

I want to connect the 3000 to my - not a B&O - amplifier with RCA plugs. How do I do that? 

  1. With 2 DIN to RCA connector, one for the left channel and one for the right channel? or
  2. With 1 DIN to RCA connector for both left and right in one. 

Tips for a good high quality brand connector? 

Thanks for helping a new bee! :-) 

Regards, Sieds

Bonjour,

 

je me pose les mêmes questions, as tu trouvé une solution ?

 

Merci

Greg

If you want to control the volume with the Beosound then this cable is the solution:

Hi,

Well.... Until Steve re-opens his website (Sorry Steve... But you should consider a different way of managing periods with overwhelming incoming orders...) I can give a more 'generic' answer. 

Your BS3000 has AUX and PowerLink DIN connectors. The PowerLink socket(s) will give you volume regulated pre-out (stereo) and as mentioned above this is a good solution if you set 'master' volume on your amplifier and want to regulate volume via the Bang & Olufsen remote. I would prefer this solution.

You can also use the AUX socket. It will give you fixed line-level output. Volume control via your amplifier. 

All you need is one DIN => RCA cable, but the internal wiring will be different for the two use-cases. Should you go for the AUX version then consider getting a RCA to 4x DIN giving you both in- and output. Input for e.g bluetooth receiver and output to the amp.

Regards 

R.
