Hi All,

Just found this site and I need help hooking up a 9000 with the seperate amp. I have the power link hooked up and the amp comes on. Do I need the masterlink cable to get sound out of this, or am I missing other cables. Were do I find the info I need to get this system up and runing?

Thanks,

Paul

Modern B&O systems use active speakers. Powerlink cables are basically speaker cables. You can buy a small box that allows you to connect passive speakers to a modern beosound but the name of it escapes me.

Headphones phono cable to RCA into the back of you amp may work too.

Hi

Thanks all, I am using the B&O amp that has the cables that mate up to the 9000. I have one cable that is the powerlink and then connecting to the speakers with that special end. I am not sure if there is more than one cable from the 9000 to the amp? There is a master link cable output in the 9000 and in the amp, does that need to be hooked up to get the sound out of the 9000 to the amp?

Hi Paul,

Welcome to BeoWorld!  Based on your description, it sounds like you have a Beolink Passive or ML/MCL Converter.  The only cable you'll need between the BS9000 and the amp, is what is commonly referred to as a "fully wired" Powerlink cable.  This is needed, as the BS9000 sends a signal through the Powerlink cable to turn the amp on, when the BS9000 is switched on.  Other than that, you'll just need speaker cables to go from your amp to whichever speakers you are using.  The Masterlink cable is not needed.  You can do another type of connection with the Masterlink cable, but it is simpler to use the Powerlink cable, unless your placing the amp and speakers in a different room, than the BS9000. Hope this helps!

Tommy

oops, my mistake.. Powerlink cable is sufficient plugged from the AUX. of the 9000 to the Passive Amp..

😳

The fully wired powerlink cable should be plugged into the powerlink socket on the 9000 and the powerlink socket on the amplifier! 

If still no sound, let me know.
