Hello Martin.

I do control the sound from the BS9000 however it does not have any impact on the speakers so there is not even the slightest change unfortunately.

I am not that familiar with the BS9000 but would you have any volume control at all this way ?

It has only Powerlink outputs; apparently the adapter splits the controlled L & R audio signals of PL into RCA plugs, and the DIN is only used for data as Beobuddy described. Volume works normally from the Beosound then. So once more, are the RCAs connected to the speakers?

Any Powerlink cable should work for audio with this kind of adapter, but the displays will only work with the fully connected cable... the one from the MCL2P should be fine. Don't worry yet about what the displays show or don't show, they work completely independently of the audio part (except for turning on/off with the rest of the speaker).

What I would try first would be to eliminate all the Speakerlink/Powerlink hassle, and try to feed the speakers directly from a laptop, some iDevice or whatever into the RCA connector (keep the volume low!). If the speakers play then, we would know at least something about where the problem is.

......and this worked!

I'm just enjoying "Stairway to Heaven" but kids are in bed so no party.....

It did work with RCA to PL cables.

Two issues though.

1. The one speaker still displays "No recording", although I have removed the speakerlink cables. Meaning only RCA to PL.

2. Although I cannot try it now, I was told that I should have the PL MK2 instead of the newer ones as it does have a lack in the sound. Any ideas on that?

All of you guys many thanks for the input.

Hi,

I am struggling with the connections also. Is it possible to solder a powerlink female chassis in the amps? I will not using the speakerlink connections. I want to connect the penta's tp a BC2300.

Does some one has a schema to DIY speaker link to powerlink?

There's a short B&O cable that converts SL to PL. One set is on its way to mr. Spiros.

Active B&O speakers with display and PowerLink sockets need
FULLY MOUNTED PowerLink Cables to transmit the additional display data and
to trigger the built-in amp. 

The fully mounted (= all 8 pins connected) PL MK2 has been "discontinued" and
has been replaced by (actually just re-named to): 

5m PL-cable Ø3,5MM DIN-DIN black (B&O Item Nr  6271227, retails for approx 25 EUR)
10m PL-cable Ø3,5MM DIN-DIN black (B&O Item Nr  6271228, retails for approx 30 EUR)

@Vienna Many thanks for all info provided. Will order those and with Leslie's help I hope will have a happy end.

@Leslie, many thanks!!!!!!!!!!! I really appreciate your support

Didn't he say earlier that he has that converter? 😕 This remote troubleshooting would be much easier if people agreed to describe what they have and what they don't have...

Yeap. Correct I do have them but I seems that they have a problem therefore Leslie is sending another pair to try......that simple!
