A Powerlink connection (one cable) carries two channels.

This means that you can use the mentioned adapter for two speakers i.e. your left and right BL3.
That must be configured in the sound menu of the BV for the PL socket you use.

However, the BL2 needs its own socket to be configured correctly.
Meaning that you will also need an adapter for that (a single RJ45 to Din female).
After connecting that to a PL socket on the BV that can be configured appropriately.
You then end up with a 3.1 setup (the internal speakers must be configured a the center speaker).

In case you later on should want to expand, you just need another splitter (like the one mentioned) and – of course – the BL’s configured as surround L/R.

All set up you can create Speaker Group – for Movie typically the 3.1 configuration and for Music (radio etc) typically a 2.1 configuration.

Thank you thats helpful the Beolab 2 is already wired to a RJ45 to powerlink so thats fine working great.

 

i hope the two 10 meter PL cables i ordered are going to be long enough sure it will be fine though.

 

that splitter adapter has now been ordered

 

thanks again

Congrats!

When connected to a BV, you should definitely connect the BL3’s and the 2 seperately.

Otherweise you will not be able to configure the setup correctly.

Connecting the 3’s via the 2 is correct, when you connect to a Beomaster/Beosystem/Beosound (i.e. not the BS Theatre) such as a BS3000.
There you have no option for setting the distances etc etc.

Please consult the userguide of the BV to find explanations of how you connect external speakers.

This said – it is possible to do what you have done – but it is certainly not the best way, and nothing that I would recomment.

So, yes – you will need adapters
Best set each speaker up seperately.

Thanks! So if I buy the splitter adapter I linked above from Steve, will that work — and will I be able to configure everything properly?

I’ve already spent around £70 on standard DIN Powerlink MK3 cables, so I’d really prefer not to have to buy two separate RJ45-to-Powerlink DIN connectors if I can make it work with the £19 RJ45 splitter in my case.

Many thanks

So I collected the speakers yesterday they look great

 

 

They came with mains power leads, but no power link cables. I don’t know if I have cocked up though. I have bought two 10 meter white MK3 Power cables with the din plugs at each end as I thought it might be convenient to daisy chain them from the Beolab 2 sub as it has two outputs and very slightly closer to them instead of the TV itself.

 

However, someone elsewhere has advised if its plugged in this way TV > Beolab 2 > Beolab 3 L+R speakers you actually have no control over treble or bass from the TV if they are plugged into a sub instead of the TV directly. So I am not sure if I need to get one of these adapters instead?

RJ45 Powerlink compatible splitter – New Powerlink to two 8 pin DIN Powerlink compatible sockets – Specialist Audio Cables for Bang & Olufsen and more

Hope someone can assist I can’t wait to hear what they sound like in the coming days
