Hi,

Using an NL/ML Converter is the ideal option, as you get full control of the Beosound 9000 from your newer B&O products. However, if you don’t want the expense of the converter, the cable that MM mentioned allows you to link the Powerlink output of the 9000 to any other audio system (or even directly to an active speaker). Using the Powerlink output of the 9000 gives you the choice of using the Beo4 or the connected system for volume control.

Please set the Beosound volume to a high level (50-75%) to give you the full range of volume control from the other system’s remote or app.

You then just need a Speaker Sense Adapter for the Beosound (this plugs into the other Powerlink socket on the Beosound 9000 to allow it to accept commands from the B&O remote control without having B&O speakers connected):-
