BeoLink Receiver 1 Power (RJ11) jack/adapter pinout

5 replies

I purchased a couple of BL Receiver 1, but with no power adapter. I know they have a 6v 500ma output specification, but I'm still not 100% sure which way is the +/- signal. The person that sold it to me send me a picture that shows that its using the center 4 pins of a 6 pin RJ11 (pins 2 and 5), but even after asking it is still not clear to me which one was the + and the -. Can someone please let me know? I can make the adapters, but clearly I don't want to have the wrong polarity and damage the BLR 1.

 

Thanks

Hi

dont now about the pins but

you can buy the right adapter from a b&o store..

At a pure guess, this is probably the same RJ11 PSU that they used on some of the Beocom phones and the ML/NL delay box.

I have asked a few UK B&O dealers (including Manchester) about this and they say the part can no longer be purchased. 

I purchased one on Ebay recently, I have yet to test it but it should work with my ML/NL box when it gets to it. He also had a few left for sale: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133639497110

If you want me to stick a multimeter on the pins of mine I can try and help you with that. are you able to share this picture you were sent? I'm intrigued to know what's on it...

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. I had the same thought, and I checked the power adapter for my BeoLine (US version, which I use with the BeoCom 1), but its using pins 1 and 6, so it's clearly not wired the same way as the Receiver 1 power adapter, which uses pins 2 and 5. I don't have an ML/NL box to try it out either.

Here's an image I uploaded of what I have

The only thing the picture is not explaining is whether this is a view looking at the pins, or from the other side of the pins, i.e. where the clip is. I think it is from the pins side, but just wanted to make 100% sure before I make the adapter.
