hello,

i need trigger for the speakers for 2 reasons:

1 -The front speakers are connected at the video amplifier AND at a beosound 5 AND at beosound 9000 all thru powerlink. and i have a manual splitter to choose the source to play thru the beolab.

2 - connected the VIDEO ampifier to beolab is not good idea because when the sounf of the movie is
     low, the speaker switch off and switch on when the action come back.

thank you for your help.

Hello archie,

It sounds as though there are problems with your current setup.  I recommend changing this for several reasons:-

1) Beolab speakers should normally only have a direct connection to one device at once, this should typically be the device that you use the most, or the one with the best ability to control inputs from the other devices,

2) The 12v output of a receiver or amplifier should not be used to trigger Beolab speakers.  Whilst this may work in some cases, it can cause noise problems ansd also risks equipment faults (several receiver manufacturers that I spoke to said that this type of cable could void their product warranty).

If you can please let me know the details of all the connected devices and speakers in the room, plus identify which device you use the most, I will be pleased to help you to get everything working without the noise issues.

Kind regards, Steve.
