Hi everyone, 

I have a quick question, soon I will be inheriting a barely used complete Beosystem 3300 from a family member which has a set of RL60.2's. However as wonderful as the Rl's are, I would love to find and connect a set of Pentas to the system, and use the RL's somewhere else. I know the beomaster 3300 does not have powerlink sockets, however I have yet to find a complete answer as to how I should go about connecting them to the regular 2 pin DIN sockets. Would just using a regular 2 pin DIN cable and connecting it to the speakerlink sockets work, I know I wont get the display but that's no issue. Just some clarification would be great!

Thanks

It is possible to set the Pentas to run from a 2 pin DIN, but you must use shielded speaker wire. You terminate the shield to the negative pins on both sides. If you don’t, you will have noise. You have to also set the Pentas for the appropriate speaker level input. You set this on the switches at the front of the Pentas. They will turn on and off with the presence of a signal.
