Hi stotty1111, are you positive that the TV and the BeoSound are in the right option setting?

Looks amazing against the natural stone wall. Living Colour must sound great! Nice to see you play some decent rock ? :-). Happy listening Evan!

Hi again, here they can be bought: https://www.idav.nl/rubberen-voetjes-beolab-8000.html?id=268961159. Not cheap – 50 euros for 8.

Hello styppen, they are called

and are indeed adjustable (I took one from my 8000):

But if you cannot find the real ones, maybe you can find some short, flathead M5 bolts (called thumbscrews) and stick a rubber protector on it (one like this:)

Then you will still have the possibility to adjust the stance.

Good luck! Johan

VERY David Lewis. I share the BeoLab 5 dream with you. Hopefully one day my budget and BeoLab 5 prices will match too :-).

Enjoy them! (time to warn the neighbours – I believe the calibration can give quite a bit of rumble?)

Hi LesleyJJ, welcome!

Are you positive the speaker is in working order? Have you heard it before?

It needs to be connected with a mains cord (to power the built in amplifiers) and a PowerLink cable (round DIN plugs with up to 8 pins) to provide the audio signals and the command to power up the speaker when you switch on the TV.

Often the mains cord comes directly from your wall socket into the BeoLab 7-1, and from the speaker a mains cord (with a fe-male and a male plug) is used to provide power to the TV. It could be that your speaker gets no power? The photograph is not so clear. Check page 6 of the manual found here: https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042003031-Beolab-7-1, and page 30 of the reference book of the BV7-32 found here: https://bangolufsenassistentgohe.blob.core.windows.net/manuals/TELEVISIONS/BEOVISION_7-32/beovision_7_32_mkii_iii_iv_v_7_40_mki_ii_reference_book_english.pdf

The PowerLink cable has to be plugged into one of the two sockets on the TV that are called: PowerLink Centre. The inside of the connections covers contain stickers with the names of all the sockets.

In the menu of the TV (options/sound) you will have to select BeoLab 7-1 at ‘CENTRE’ and the others to ‘NONE’.

Hope this helps, let us know. Good luck, Johan

Het zijn zeker goede pluggen 🙂 Maak er wat moois van! Heb je alle pinouts, ik kan je het BeoLink handboek nog sturen evt? Groet, Johan

If your amplifier has a specific sub out, then connect all speakers separately to your amplifier, not via the BeoLab2. You otherwise might risk that the higher frequencies are filtered out by the amp already, and they do not reach the 8000s.

Checking some webshops for cabling that is meant to connect BeoLabs to pre-outs, they all feed the (5v) trigger signal into the PowerLink cable through either 3.5mm trigger port, or a USB port. The sellers claim that the regular 12V trigger signals of such amplifiers are brought back to 5v by the cable. USB is 5V already. These cables are not cheap in my opinion!

Here my knowledge/help stops. Maybe a BeoWorld member with actual experience can help you with any other doubt. Good luck!

Hello Phil and welcome,

I would say that if your amplifier is stereo (and has no specific subwoofer connection) then it is best to connect the 8000s to the PowerLink output sockets of the BeoLab2 using good PowerLink cables. This is how B&O has designed it to work: the BeoLab 2 filters out the lower frequencies and the 8000s do not have to deal with those anymore.

The BeoLab 2 then needs to be connected to the Amp with a PowerLink cable that somehow gets the trigger signal. This 5V signal will tell the BeoLabs to switch on. This is what you refer to with the ‘AUX/RCA PowerLink trigger cable’ I think.

Steve at Sounds Heavenly (site sponsor) is always happy to help! I think he is back tomorrow. I would not be surprised if he will step in, correct me, and help you. Also in case your amp has a specific subwoofer connection that makes it a bit more complex.

Or find a nice BeoMaster/Sound/System with PowerLink connections :-)?

Best of luck, Johan

Gezien. Komen eraan. Succes!

Ik heb nog een paar stekkers voor je als je die nog niet hebt. 4 zijn nieuw. Als je je adres geeft stuur ik ze op.

Zolang het S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) is moet het goedkomen. Kost dat veel meer? In de BeoLink manual schrijft B&O Cat7 voor vandaar. Heb je die documentatie? Stuur me anders je e-mail adres per PM, dan stuur ik je de pdf (23mb). Staat enorm veel in over B&O bekabeling.

Ik ben niet zo van het solderen (heb je vast al begrepen :-)), vind het een enorm gepriegel. Ik weet niet of dat kan met zulke kabels. Als alle kernen en ook de braided shield van koper zijn zou ik eigenlijk ook niet weten waarom het niet kan.

Hoi,

Ik kan wel zeggen dat het aankrimpen van RJ45 connectors op deze Tasker kabel een gedoe is: je moet connectors vinden die goed passen bij de dikte van de geisoleerde aders. Niet alle connectoren zijn hetzelfde qua aderdiameter, vaak is het zelfs niet aangegeven. Vooral lastig is de afscherming. Bijeengedraaid is die veel te dik. Om dat allemaal netjes te krijgen vergt dus nogal wat DIY.

Kun je geen soepele afgeschermde CAT7 sftp patchkabel (met aan beide einden RJ45) van 15m vinden evt? Die aan de ene zijde direct in de Almando en bij de BeoLab zijde zoiets gebruiken (koppelstuk):

om van daaruit een (evt. zelfgemaakte) RJ45 naar DIN kabel te gebruiken?

Dat scheelt nogal wat gedoe!

Hi Guy,

I have a BeoSystem 3 and and (a.o.) a BLC (set as AudioMaster) in a Masterlink network. I can control the BS3 fully with the app when it plays video sources. When it plays audio (from my Core that is in the NetworkLink network) control via the app does not work fully. For instance, I cannot manage the volume of the BS3.

I would believe that you would be most succesful when buying two BLCs: one set as AudioMaster with your TV, and one set as VideoMaster with your audio product. And link those via NetworkLink.

Maybe some more seasoned users of the BLC can confirm or add.

Hoi, ook mijn speakers hebben DIN pluggen.

Hierbij een foto van de aders:

Hoi tuttivini, ik heb ooit wel Tasker C207 kabel gebruikt hiervoor bij vanoostvoorn.nl. Dat is eigenlijk microfoonkabel, heeft twee goed afgeschermde aders voor de audio signalen en is sterk. Ik heb daar nog wel wat van liggen, maar alles korter dan 15m ben ik bang.

Maar om het solderen te vermijden heb ik nu voor mijn surround bekabeling (stugge) Cat7 sftp kabel gebruikt, met aan beide einden RJ45 inbouw terminals. Dit is volgens B&O spec. Ik heb zelf een paar PowerLink kabels doorgeknipt en er RJ45 stekkers aangeperst. Werkt prima en is heel netjes en flexibel. Misschien een tip?

Groet, Johan

Hello Drencrom, and welcome!

The two screws that connect the H shaped bracket to the rotating stand are M5 x 20mm.

The diameter of the head is 8.3mm, I reckon this is standard.

Hope this helps!
