@@soundsheavenly a quick question. I wanted to know if I could use apple airpot express to connect beosound 9000 mk2 to beo play A9 speaker? thank you

[@soundsheavenly]

Unfortunately Airport Express is an AirPlay receiver only, so it can’t accept the sound from the Beosound 9000 to send it elsewhere. However, you can use two of the 2nd generation Airport Express receivers to play streaming music from your phone to both the Beosound and the A9 speaker at the same time. To play CDs from the Beosound to the A9, a direct cable is the best option, I can help with this if required!

Hi, Yes, I can help! As alternatives to Apple Airport Express and Google Chromecast Audio, you could try Audiocast M5, Wiim Mini or any Bluetooth receiver for wireless music from your phone to the B&O system (sorry I don't sell these devices, only the cables!). This cable will allow you to connect any of the devices listed above to the Aux socket on the back of your B&O system:- soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/67-298-minijack-to-aux-in-ipod-to-beosound-beomaster-beocenter-using-aux-din-socket.html#/2-length-1m Please set the phone volume to maximum when connecting to the B&O system - this is normal when using a portable music player with a home audio system due to the low output levels produced by the phone.

I have a Samsung TV (a new Q90) and would like to use it with my 1980s beomaster 3000 as a pseudo surround system (but with just stereo out obviously) - is there an interface that can be bought that decodes the 5.1 signal from the TV (optical) and "mixes" it to a stereo signal to go to the phono inputs of the beomaster 3000? I have the B&O running in stereo at the moment from my TV (optical to phono connector) but feel the speaking dialogue could be better. Remember there is two sets of speaker outputs on the Beomaster 3000 so thought there may be options there - ie one speaker out going to bangs and whacks and another speaker set of outs for just purely dialogue - is this daft to expect?

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, the B&O S8 Connection Hub is a great device to do exactly what you suggested, this links between the optical output of any TV and the Aux or Tape input of a Beomaster to convert the signal for use with Beolab speakers. You can get this at any B&O store and I can provide the cables and advice to get it working on your system. Add a subwoofer for the effects with movies and a B&O centre speaker by the TV for dialogue to get superb results from 2.1 channel stereo sound. Please get in touch at soundsheavenly.com for more details of how to do this.

Hello Mr. Steve, Your videos are a very enjoyable. I need a little help connecting a Beosystem 3 AV Processor to two Beomasters 6000. I have a surround setup with 5 pairs of speakers but I will concentrate only to fronts and surround channels splitting the fronts and heights on one 6000 from the surround and surround back to the other master. My dillema is about the output speaker 7 pin plugs on the AV3.. being 6 of them first two are sub and center, the other ones are stereo or only one channel? The second question complements the first, if they are one channel can I use the 5 pin DIN all male splitters to combine and send the singnals to masters? All my speakers are passive from 80s era and I can assure you that I look allover for a service manual or any documentation regarding the AV Processor. The user manual does not specify anything but a clue might be found in the number of the speakers possible connections presented in the setup menu. Thanks in advance and keep 'em comming!

Dear Steve, Just installed a pair “Beolab6000+Airport A1264 (with Airplay 1)” connecting ‘em with a headphone jack to RCA, just you’ve explained and faced 2 major issues: 1. The sound quality is waaaay worse than via direct RCA-jack to iPhone connection. 2. Constant 1-3 seconds lags in connection when pressing pause/play or changing volume worsen music streaming experience and make it impossible to watch videos via this setup. Could you please advice on whether I’m doing anything wrong or maybe AirPlay1 is simply outdated and I need to switch to AirPort Express A1392 with AiraPlay2? Thank you in advance!

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, Airpplay always gives a sound delay, this is so the sound and picture match when streaming video. There shouldn't be any issues with sound quality on either Airplay 1 or Airplay 2, this could be a faulty Airport Express or an unsuitable cable?

I'm trying to turn my vintage Beomaster 4500 with the link and speakers in a bedroom a few rooms over to being able to run my Samsung TV audio through it, however, all bluetooth receivers I've seen do not reach that far. I've purchased two that don't reach. It actually connected once and the sound was choppy the entire time due to distance. I have the 5 pin to RCA and just can't seem to find the appropriate receiver to connect to my B&O system in the room it's in to reach my TV in my bedroom. Any suggestions? I feel like the WIIM Pro may work, but I'm not certain my TV will find it as it's wifi and not bluetooth and if it was bluetooth, it wouldn't reach that far. Love to hear if anyone has any solutions.

Bluetooth only works within the same room, you need the B&O MCL2 link system that was originally offered with your 4500 system to get a wired connection to the other rooms. I don’t sell these B&O devices, but I can help it’s cables at soundsheavenly.com once you have found the items you need!

Hi Steve. I remember watching this video a while ago but thought I would offer a bit of an update , particularly concerning Airplay. I recently bought a Roku premier device ( £29.95 from PC world )and connected it to my Samsung 4K tv, and discovered it also supports Airplay2. This tv is connected to my BC9500 with S80’s. Also the last version of Airport Express had a software update quite a while ago but long after it was discontinued ( Thank you Apple 😄) , and it too now supports Airplay2. I have 1 connected to my BC9300 with BL8000’s. Voila! I now have multi room, all working quite happily on older classics B&O, and on a budget too.I can recommend the Roku, I believe most of their streaming devices now support Airplay2.

You do mention that the volume on the mobile device has to be turned up almost full volume, but I really dislike that as a requirement. Even with the volume up, to me, the sound doesn’t appear to be the same quality as say using a cd. Is this correct or is it my imagination? Secondly, does the sound lose any quality by using the phono connector to Apple Express? Thanks for all your help.

😁Yes I know about the single button press. I just wondered if there was any way to turn by just getting a signal of sound in via the AUX port. Do you know if it would work via the MasterLink port. I don’t know if it’s even possible to get a signal in that way/port or if it is only for output. I am fairly new to the tech. I have only known about the beauty of the outer design.

Hi Steve. I have a 3200 with a turntable connected to the aux port. I have been using a aptx receiver for several years but I always have to unplug the turntable to make the bluetooth receiver work. Not an ideal setup and I would like to find a way to keep the turntable connected and have a wifi (or bluetooth) receiver constantly connected. Do you have a suggestion for a solution?

Yes, I can help! This cable will allow you to connect a phone to the Aux socket on the back of your B&O 9000 system:- ‪soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/67-298-minijack-to-aux-in-ipod-to-beosound-beomaster-beocenter-using-aux-din-socket.html#/2-length-1m‬ Please set the phone volume to maximum when connecting to the B&O system - this is normal when using a portable music player with a home audio system due to the low output levels produced by the phone. To listen to the phone, simply press "A.Aux" on the B&O keypad, or select this on the B&O remote control by pressing the "LIST" button until the display shows "A.AUX", then pressing "GO".

Hi what connection lead do I need for my beolab 7.1 soundbar to sony tv

[@soundsheavenly]

The only way to connect the speaker directly to your TV is if the TV has a headphone socket fitted, as this is the only socket where the volume of the sound can be controlled. When used without a B&O TV, your Beolab 7-1 speaker needs a special powered cable to generate the trigger signals to activate it:- soundsheavenly.com/line-in-connection/102-438-minijack-to-beolab-2-7-10-2500-powered-trigger-kit.html#/2-length-1m

I cannot understand how the system works, since I was convince 7 pins would be enough ... but nothing works, as you probably already know well, so buy cables for nothing.

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, Yes, I can help! The only way to connect the speakers to your Wireless music player is to use the headphone socket on the Music player as this is the only socket where the volume of the sound can be controlled. Your Beolab 2 subwoofer needs a powered cable to generate the trigger signals to activate it:- ‪soundsheavenly.com/line-in-connection/102-438-minijack-to-beolab-2-7-10-2500-powered-trigger-kit.html#/2-length-1m‬ The Beolab 8000 or 6000 speakers will then plug into the two output sockets on the Beolab 2 using standard Powerlink mk.3 cables (one cable is needed for each speaker):- ‪soundsheavenly.com/powerlink-8-pin-din-connection/20-272-powerlink-mk-3-compatible-8-pin-din-cable-with-4-cores-wired-low-profile-cable.html#/9-length-18m‬ In this configuration, the Music player will control the speaker volume, but the speaker will remain on all the time that the trigger cable is connected and powered on.

problems with late BnO products: they were developed by Philips and mostly made by them. till 2005. The capacitors in the AMPs'are too small. When Bno was BnO (till 1975) everything had a better quality. e.g. I have the beomaster 1000. it's 2 x 20 watts.. but it has very very large capacitors.. the dynamics... are really really marvelous ................... better than my e.s. sony 3 x 120 watt with tori. transformer) the sound of this beomaster 1000 is so dramatic and so realistic............ my parents had it in the 70s, unf. with a lot of problems, so they sold it back to the dealer, My father always told me. that he never heard such a good receiver/amp before and after.. And he was right. I was for years high end dealer. . . . I have never heard an amp that was so clear, so open, so tight, so dynamic like this beomaster 1000. (no joke) .......... It is, I think one of the best amps/receivers they'' ll ever made. The specs are better than in the manual says: I have done a test on my big mirage bipolair speakers............. you don't know what you hear........... only live is better. what-a-match !

Thanks for the quick answer.

[@soundsheavenly]

@@bobanovski787 Thanks! I would not recommend Beolink Wireless 1 for this setup - as the Moment doesn't have a Masterlink output to activate the Wireless 1 transmitter, you would need to add an NL/ML Converter from B&O (approx. £600 GBP in the UK) in order to get a Masterlink connection to the wireless transmitter - this makes for a very complex and expensive setup, although it is technically possible and I can (of course!) hwelp with cables if you decide to buy the NL/ML Converter from B&O.

[@bobanovski787]

Thanks Steve. I agree, it would be a complex and expensive setup. Nevertheless the B&O support has told me that it would be possible to have the Beosound Moment act as a Transmitter itself, without having a separate transmitter attached to it, thus surpassing the need of the entire complex ML setup. Lets see how it turns out. Will let you know if by any chance they help me set it up
