Check out this thread, I use the trigger cables connected to my zone 2 trigger it works well

http://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/2420/20872.aspx#20872

link am using a Pioneer VSX-LX60 to drive Beolabs.
According to the manual the trigger out of the Pioneer provides max. 50 mA.

See thread for details on my set-up.

Thank you all !(and kallasr!) Do you mean that the Y-Splitter from Steve reduce the voltage from 12 V to 5V ?

And when you see Emotiva Forum, is it on thsi forum or on Emotiva.com ?Maybe you have a link?

Sorry I'm a beginner in according B&O & non B&O... 😕

I guess that in the Din B&O Connector one pin is just a trigger to activate the speakers. Steve from SoundsHeavenly sells a connector with a trigger, a transformator 230 V -> 5 V 1 A max.

Do you think it could be possible to activate the Beolab 7-4 & 2 by usin instead the the trigger of me pre/pro HC (Emotiva UMC-200) ?

My Emo have 2 triggers output, they have a max of 100 mA. Is it enough? Tx a lot 😮

Yes, no problem! You don't need the 5V transformator. One of the trigger outputs of your Emo can replace the additional adaptor. Much better, because this way your Beolabs will follow your Emo. Emo standby > Beolab2 LED=red

Trigger output of your Emo is 12V, but that's ok. Your Beolabs can handle that. The current draw of 1 Beolab is less then 1 mA, so you're all good!

Thanks a lot DoubleU, it's exactly what I wanted... (Beolabs follow me Emo on/off) 🙂

I will not use the transformator and connect the cable to the trigger output of the Emo. With the Y splitter, 1 trigger for the 7-4 & the 2, second trigger for both 4000 (surround).

However it's exists an adaptor which reduces the voltage from 12 V to 5 V: http://www.av-connection.dk/?PGr=5665&ML=328

but if it isn't necessary... very well!

So now, at work! Thank you all!

I BOUGHT BY Steve the "iPod/MP3 to Beolab 2/7/10 Powered Cable trs/7dinPOWERED". It comes with an single RCA input and a powersupply for 100 to 230 V... Tha'ts exactly what I wanted to avoid: to turn manually on/off the Beolab's 7-4 and 2 because of this power supply.

A asked Steve before ordrering, he said trigger was not quite a good idea (he obviously prefers the power supply; but my mother language is french, so difficult to have a technical discussion...)

If the trigger can do it now, it's really nice, less things in the installation and much more confortable/easy...  But your post and answers were very useful Ralf, thanks 🤒

I know realize that the adapters with a power supply of Sounds Heavenly are not the best solution, and I'll now order by AV-Connections.dk, the AV-TRMDIN8: for my Beolab 7-4 and my Beolab 2 (AV-advance Phono + Trigger to Powerlink, mono audio adaptor, center/sub channel (Phono RCA male, MiniJack - 8 pin DIN female), 0.35 meter), and will do the same for both Beolab 4000 surround.

You are welcome.

Please let us know if everything worked out fine after you made all the connections.
