Which DIN cable?

2 replies

I managed to snag a pair of S80s. I haven't received them yet, but I hear they only have a DIN socket.

Is this correct? If so, is it the 2-pin type?

Also, what gauge wire can I use with 2-pin DIN? I think I'll just buy the plug from my local electronics store and solder it to some hifi wire.

Yes they are the standard 2 pin DIN fitting as on most B&O speakers.

Any decent speaker wire will be just fine, don't try for anything too thick as it will cause problems when soldering the plugs. I have known strands of wire inside the plug body to become free and cause problems with shorting.
