BeoLink NL/ML converters offline
in BeoLink · May 21, 2023 18:26Thank you, Carolpa. Restarting the router had no effect (still no webpage), but restarting the BL NL/ML boxes did the trick. As a person working in IT, simply rebooting a device SHOULD BE the method of last resort. It me…

Beolab 9 vs Beovox Redline 140
in BeoLab · Nov 7, 2022 11:05I have both. Driven by Beolab 200 amps, the RL140s (in my listening room) did not have the impact, bass precision or treble clarity of the Beolab 9s, and they take up more floor space. In design terms, I find the RL140s …
B&O Radio
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 6, 2022 16:18B&O originally promised B&O Radio on the old devices (BS Essence, BS Core, etc.) in 2Q2022, then pushed it out to 4Q2022. I can't wait for it to happen - TuneIn doesn't have NRK Jazz here in the UK. I just want to have t…

App Beta 3.21

Speaker leads.
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 11, 2022 19:06Hi Jonfey, You need a pair of 8-pin DIN Powerlink Mk2 or Mk3 cables between the BeoCenter 9500 and the BeoLab 6000s. If by “9500 phono” you mean a Beogram 9500 record player, then it should have its own 7-pin DIN captive…

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 11, 2022 18:58Hi Wouter, The best thing to drive that combination of speakers is a Beovision. But if you really want to drive it with your phone, you need audio cables and trigger kits from Steve at SoundsHeavenly. He can help you wit…

US versions of Beosound Essence MK2 and NL/ML Converters in EU?

Beovox Penta - amp choices
