Beolab 7-1 used as centerspeaker with non-B&O TV.
in BeoLab · Dec 21, 2025 13:27100% yes. Plug it into a USB on the back of the TV and it will almost certainly power up/down with the TV.

in BeoLab · Dec 21, 2025 11:48I have a similar set-up with a 7-2. I’ve got a cable which takes a power trigger from the TV’s USB and audio from my AVR via an RCA female socket, all into the Powerlink plug. My 7-2 is only on when the TV is on. It soun…
Advice on Improving Room Acoustics for BeoLab Speakers
in Other · Dec 13, 2025 08:02What are you driving the Beolab 18s with? If the rest of the system isn’t B&O and you’re open to changing, then using a preamp that has modern room correction built in would be a great answer. Using soft furnishings is a…
Recommendation homecinema setup : BL8000+BL7.2+BL3+sub vs BL9+BL7.2+BL3
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 29, 2025 21:54Happy with BL 8000 / 7.2 / 6000 / 19 here. I couldn’t abide the appearance of the BL9 and much more convenient to be able to wall mount the 8000s.

Beosystem 3000c

Beosystem 3000c
in General Discussion & Questions · May 28, 2025 22:51Once again very nice, beautiful, no doubt it will sound very decent, but the price…. I would call it comedy pricing but I’m no longer laughing. Every time I see another example of B&O contriving exclusivity with absurdly…
Input connection Beosound Core
in Nordic · Jan 10, 2025 22:13The minijack connector is a combo 3.5mm analogue jack and optical input. You can connect optical from the TV to it with a suitable toslink to 3.5mm cable or adaptor for a regular toslink cable.

Clarifying Beoconnect Core capabilities
in BeoConnect · Nov 19, 2024 08:00Agreed, the Beoconnect Core and the Beosound Core before it have been horribly compromised in a number of pointless ways. Not including the WISA transmitter capability is only one of them. Why combine analogue and optica…
Beosound Core versus Beoconnect Core
in BeoConnect · Nov 18, 2024 21:45Sorry it’s me again - no, the Beosound Core can’t connect to speakers wirelessly either. It performs the same function as the Beoconnect Core - essentially that of a streamer and preamp, but it runs on an older platform …

Clarifying Beoconnect Core capabilities
in BeoConnect · Nov 14, 2024 21:54I can’t answer all your questions but i can clarify a few things because i looked into this myself to potentially use a Beoconnect Core with my BL18s & BL19. The BC Core can only connect to the speakers via cables. Thing…
Beolab 18 + beoconnect with WISA
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 28, 2024 20:46Unfortunately not. The Beoconnect Core doesn’t have Wisa built in. You could connect the Beoconnect Core to a Transmitter 1 and then connect the BL18s via Wisa, however the downside of that approach is that you lose the …
BeoLab2 wirelessly to BeoSound Core
in BeoLab · Sept 15, 2024 10:14I think the best/only option is going to be to get a B&O Transmitter 1 (the Core has no wireless/WISA built in to it; you’d connect via Powerlink or optical from Core to T1) and Receiver 1s for both your BL3s and the BL2…
