Hi All,

Currently i have a Beocenter 9300 connected to a pair of Beolab 5 using powerlink cables. I'm thinking about replacing the audio unit to a Beosound 9000 and use the digital output.

But can anyone answer a few questions-

I listen to music from 3 sources, the CD player in the Beocenter 9300, a technies record deck 1210 to a pre-amp then to the Beocenter input, and the third is playing WAV and FLAC files from my phone using a 3.5mm audio plug to the aux socket in the 9300.

My question is will only the CD source sound better with the digital output from the beosound 9000?? 

Will the record deck and mobile phone input sound the same as using the current powerlink cables??

  • Thanks.

Thanks for your message.

How do you link the 2 units together? Do you need to change the options on the units (master/slave)??

Interesting that the 9000 only has one aux input so I would keep the 9300. It would be really cool if I could use the CD on the 9300 and still have the record deck and phone audio going to the 9300!!!

Thanks

Hi Paul,

You can use this cable from the pre-out sockets on the 9300 to the Aux socket on the 9000 to let the 9300 share the speakers:-
