Mac Mini and BeoPort

3 replies

I have a Mac Mini connected to a BeoPort box to push my iTunes around the house. I control it through remote on my iPhone - all normal so far!!

I want to use the speaker connections on the back of the BeoPort box but do not want to invest in more B&O speakers for something that will be used only infrequently. Any suggestions on how to attach a cheap set of speakers? There is a strange Audio Out connection hidden behind some tape on the back of the box but it doesn't seem to work.

You can connect any PC speakers on the front jack. Some iPod docks have an audio in jack, that would be perfect.

These PC speakers or iPod dock are amplified, which what you need.

The front jack has a variable volume level, the hidden one at the back has a fixed volume level.

Thanks Phil. All fine now - used my iPod dock as suggested.

Realise now that my question was pretty stupid!! Like all semi nerds I spent so much time looking at the options at the back of the box I never looked at the front where the headphone jack was cunningly concealed by the famous B & O black on black colour scheme.

 

Thnaks again
