Beolab 7-1 als Mono-Center-Speaker an Ouverture anschliessen

[Daniel]

Hallo allerseits!

Ich bin bei meiner andauernden Recherche zu meinem Vorhaben, was ich im Folgenden beschreiben werde, an den Punkt gekommen, an dem es ratsam ist, die Meinung erfahrener Menschen heranzuziehen.

MEIN VORHABEN:
Mein Vorhaben ist, eine Beolab 7-1 (Aktivlautsprecher) an meine Beosound (Beocenter Type 2631 + 2 Beolab 2500 Lautsprecher) anzuschliessen und sie als Mono Center Speaker zu integrieren.

HINTERGRUND:
Ein Freund hat mir jüngst die Beosound vermacht. In seinem Setup war sie an einen BV Avant 28 angeschlossen, sodass zusätzlich die Lautsprecher des TVs, welche auch niedrigste Frequenzen hervorragend wiedergegeben haben, angesteuert wurden. Ich liebe diesen bewegenden Klang mit seiner Klarheit seit über 20 Jahren und versuche nun, da ich selber in den Besitz einer (dieser) Beosound gekommen bin, unter Hinzunahme einer Beolab 7-1 ein ähnliches Ergebnis zu erzielen.

MEIN PLAN ZUM ANSCHLUSS DER BEOLAB 7-1:
Beocenter -> Masterlink Kabel -> Beolink active -> 2 Powerlink Kabel (links und rechts) -> „ein mir bis dato unbekanntes Stereo-to-Mono-Mixing-Modul“ -> Powerlink Kabel -> Beolab 7-1

(Ich habe es mit einem Converter 1611 versucht, aber die 7-1 blieb stumm).

MEINE FRAGEN:
Kann mein Plan überhaupt funktionieren? Gibt es ein Modul, was die 2 Stereo-Signale des Beolink active in ein Mono-Signal für die Beolab 7-1 mixt/wandelt? Oder gibt es einen anderen Weg?

Vielen Dank für eure Zeit und Expertise!

Beosound Ouverture Typ 2631 (2 Powerlink-Anschlüsse für beide Beolab 2500, 1 Masterlink-Anschluss)
Beolab 7-1 (1 Powerlink-Anschluss)

Hi Daniel, good news! You do not need any ‘mixer’. The PowerLink cable contains both L&R signals, and the 7-1 is a stereo speaker. One PowerLink cable from the Active to the 7-1 is enough. You do need an IR eye connected to the Active to (independently) control the volume for the 7-1.

Note that you will not achieve any ‘surround sound center’ effect: the 7-1 will exactly play the same stereo sound as the Ouverture.

Hope this helps! Regards, Johan

Hi Tignum! Thanks a lot for helping me out!! During my research I somehow got mixed up and ended up thinking the 7-1 is a mono speaker. Too much data input during the last weeks  – in a field, in which i have zero clue. But, hey, that’s good news indeed!! I don’t need a ‘mixer’ XD

About ‘the sorround sound effect’: I don’t need that either. When the 7-1 plays the same stereo sound as the Ouverture that would be perfect!!!

I’ve already ordered a Beolink Active 1636, an IR eye and a IR eye remote receiver cable today due to your quick response. I can hardly wait to listen to this setup. I know, figuring out how to configurate the volumes and so on with the Beo4 will be a tough nut to crack also! But heck, nobody said it would be easy.

Thanks again, Johan!

Cheers! Daniel

Nice, keep us posted! 😀

Theoretically you could directly ‘split’ the audio signal from the Ouverture, the only thing is then, that you cannot control how loud the 7-1 plays vs. the 2500s of the Ouverture.

With the IR controlled Active between the Ouverture and the 7-1 you can control the volumes independently, or even play the speakers separately. The only thing you need to be aware of is that the IR receivers of both the Active AND the Ouverture might react to remote control commands simultaneously (when they are in the same room). This could be managed by putting the Active in Option 4 and by using the LINK ‘pre-fix’ when controlling it. To help crack the nut!

Regards,

Johan

Thx Johan! I‘ll keep that in mind for sure! I’ve never read anything anywhere about this ‚pre-fix‘ method – not even in the manuals! I know it would be naive to expect my little experiment to run one hundred percent smoothly. After all, it is an experiment. But, man, I have the feeling that you‘ve just saved me a lot of trouble.

I‘ll keep you updated. In a couple of days all parts will be on site. Now I need shelfs an cable ducts and more cable ducts XD

cheers! Daniel
