I read on the Interweb that analogue is better than digital, so I decided to try it out for myself and make up my own mind.

Nice find, looking forward to the verdict Geoff! I for sure cannot make up my mind: when I play a CD on my BeoGram CD7000, the sound goes through a BeoMaster 6500, an ML converter, a BLC, another BLC, a BeoSystem 3 and then finally to the BeoLab 8000s :-). How many digital/analog conversions would that be?

Hello mojo,

I hope a US member can answer your voltage question, I cannot tell.

The BeoSound 4000 for sure cannot handle HDMI signals. But there should be other options using its analog AUX input. Are you sure your TV has no Toslink optical out? If it does you would only need a little converter and the right cables (Steve has those too) to bring the TV sound into your 4000.

Hi mojofml,

Nice system! Let’s see if we can help.

1. Powerlink Mk 3 will be fine, see the site sponsor’s website here https://www.soundsheavenly.com/faq/guide-various-types-powerlink-cable-bang-olufsen-use/. Steve can sell you correct cables. Ask him for any doubt!
Note that the BeoLab 6000 speakers have two PowerLink sockets. They allow you to daisychain them

2. That should be fine, the B&O products take ‘C7’ cables, these will fit also when the cable has the two round ends side by side

3. Sounds good enough

4. Correct, the amps of BeoLab speakers need their own power supply cables. PowerLink cables carry both L&R audio signal, as well as the signal to switch on/off the speakers. But not the power for the built in amps of the BeoLab 6000 speakers

Hope this helps a bit.
Let us know how you progress and enjoy the system!

My BeoMaster 4500. I really like that receiver, elegant and versatile.

Hi Nick, I bought cloth from akustikstoff.com a while ago for my BeoLab 8000s. Very good material. Maybe they have a fabric that comes close to what you want?
