How to connect a 5.1 (Beolab 17) to my mac? Is there a powerlink ethernet hub?
in Other · Aug 31, 2019 05:27Why not use the Toslink input on the 17? Many Macs have Toslink out as part of the audio out. Or they used to, many now do not. In that case how about a HDMI to Toslink converter? Like this one, https://www.amazon.com/J-…
Beoplay A9 Airplay unstable
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 30, 2019 21:50What about Beolab 17? Is there any alternative ways to run them wirelessly except for Beolink?

How does BeoPlay A9 work?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 29, 2019 20:57I am curious if the analog inputs on the A9 are carried through to the power amplifiers in the analog domain or, as it seems to be the norm these days, converted and handled in the digital domain, all the way to the Clas…

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 29, 2019 04:40I have found one solution to Airplay troubles. It works perfectly if a bit expensive. Last year I bought a three-piece “Google Wifi” mesh system. One of these connects to the internet modem. The other two ”mesh” with the…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 27, 2019 04:41This may be too obvious a response (and a somewhat expensive solution) but...I have a three-piece “Google Wifi” set. I installed one of them next to my (1st generation) A9 and connected the the two via an ethernet cable.…
Is stereo still a thing? aka. Is one BEOPLAY A9 MKII enough?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 9, 2019 21:38So I bought a used A9. Before I buy a second one I will try it for some period of time as is. The other thing I thought is mounting it at a 90 degree angle to see how it works in "mono" that way, kin of in a psuedo "d'Ap…

in General Discussion & Questions · May 7, 2019 22:23BL18 as in Beolab 18? I have a pair. But I do not think that would be much of an improvement over the Red Lines in the bass department, would they?

in General Discussion & Questions · May 7, 2019 21:19[quote user="Millemissen"] [quote user="toptip"] This is how the Red Lines are hung now. I thought two A9s to replace them may look nice: [/quote] They might ‘look nice’, yes. But why would you want to replace two speake…

in General Discussion & Questions · May 7, 2019 17:57[quote user="poodleboy"] If I were to do mono on an A9 it would be by converting the source to line outputs (using whatever converter necessary), splitting each, and sending identical channel output to both A9 line input…
Is stereo still a thing? aka. Is one BEOPLAY A9 MKII enough?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 5, 2019 16:54Actually, this is not a bad idea. Clearly using one half of an A9 is “wasteful” but then again not completely so, as much of the power goes to the woofer, of which there is only one. For over 10 years I have used a pair …

in General Discussion & Questions · May 4, 2019 07:38Going back to the original question which started this thread, that of a single speaker used for stereo reproduction... Some single speakers, like those made by Sonos, can be used in a pair for “true” stereo. Is there su…
Beomaster 6500 slight overhaul
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 16, 2019 04:16I was reading this and wanted to mention something a bit similar that I did. I live in NYC and I bought a BM and a BC6500 from France. I converted them from 220 to 120V (actually on the BM6500, 120 is not an option. They…

in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 15, 2019 23:59Thank you for your response. Is it at all compatible with the BM6500? Will it do anything if I connect it?
Essence Remote + Old Ir Eye
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 15, 2019 05:58I hope this is not a very ignorant question as I am not very familiar with different command structures B&O used over the years. I have a setup of BM6500, BG 5500, BG CD6500, BC6500 and BL7000. I also set up a “Harmony H…
HELP! How can i connect a 6500 receiver & RX2 turntable or Control Panel 5500? CD player advice too.
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 12, 2019 21:30Thank you. I did some experimenting myself. I am only planning to use the Beomaster 6500 as a control center and not really have any audio signals going through it. To that extent I think a loom like the one I drew below…

in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 11, 2019 05:19I have a related question...although I should probably just try and see what happens. I have BM6500 (without RIAA) and a (white) BG5500. Now I know if I connect one to the other there will not be enough gain or proper RI…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 10, 2019 17:10Thank you. Will try and report. Waiting for this to arrive: https://www.adafruit.com/product/625 I was reading that cutting these to size may reduce their life due to oxidation and other contamination. I thought maybe I …
