Connecting BeoLab 11 to Playmaker

3 replies

I have BeoLab 3s connected to Playmaker.  All good so far.  Now I would like to add my BeoLab 11 to this setup.  I have read the manuals for the subwoofer and the Playmaker but cannot understand how they connect.  I am confused because the manuals seem to suggest that the source (in this case, Playmaker, requires a Powerlink socket).

Can someone explain in simple terms for me?

To add a BL11 to your Setup you have to refer to the following picture taken from BL11 guide.

You run one of your existing cables from Playmaker to BL3 to BL11 (RJ45 to Powerlink) and disconnect the second RJ45 to Powerlink cable from Playmaker..

Then you connect both BL3s via Powerlink to BL11 and set BL11 to internal bass management.
