Hi - Is it possible to connect the BEOLAB 3000 to a BEOCENTER 9500 unit ?

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, yes this is possible. Please use fully wired Powerlink cables to get the speaker displays working: soundsheavenly.com/powerlink-8-pin-din-connection/23-319-powerlink-mk-2-compatible-black-8-pin-din-cable-with-fully-wired-8-cores.html#/9-length-18m

@yonel-s4u yes it is

Is it possible to connect 1 speaker to a Chromecast audio? I would be a very pretty solution

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, yes that is possible Please feel free to get in touch via the contact page at soundsheavenly.com if you need help with the connections.

Hi, a late question. I have a pair of Beovox 5000s, they are currently screwed to a wall and I want to move them to another room. Should they be positioned close to the corners of a room, or is that not important? If not, what would be ideal distance apart if listening from 3 metres away?

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, the distance to the corners won't matter, but for best results I suggest placing the speakers the same distance apart as you are away from the speakers - in this case approx. 3m apart.

[@JC-zw9vs]

@@soundsheavenly many thanks for the advice. I'll do that then!

[@TLVADONT]

Hi Steve, Do you know if there´s a full list of the B&O systems where the displays will work on the Beolabs?

[@soundsheavenly]

Everything made up to 2012 with Powerlink sockets should support the data for speaker displays when used with fully wired cables. Please feel free to ask at soundsheavenly.com if you need help connecting specific products

[@mateuszmacoch1874]

I have beloab 5000. is there huge difference when You connect straight to phone VIA RCA cables, instead to preamp and after that to phone? If yes, could You tell nr how to connect phone or laptop to preamp with beolab5000?

[@soundsheavenly]

Beolab 5000 are superb speakers! You can connect them directly to your phone without losing sound quality, all you need is this cable: soundsheavenly.com/line-in-connection/77-241-minijack-to-beolab-line-in-using-phono-rca-sockets-one-cable-for-two-speakers.html#/2-length-1m

[@greenant991]

can i connect beosound 600 speakers to a laptop? and what cable would i need?

[@soundsheavenly]

Yes, you can. You can connect a pair of Beolab speakers to the headphone socket of your laptop using this cable:- soundsheavenly.com/line-in-connection/77-241-minijack-to-beolab-line-in-using-phono-rca-sockets-one-cable-for-two-speakers.html#/2-length-1m Please set both speakers to "Line" mode using the small switch next to the input sockets. You need one cable for two speakers.

[@quixot4223]

Hi Steve! I have two speakers beolab 5 and no have ideas how connect marantz1072, please help me.

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, no problem! Please note you will need a B&O remote control to operate Beolab 5 speakers. As Beolab 5 have their own volume adjustment built in, they can connect to the Tape Out sockets of your amp with this cable (although other Beolab speakers must never connect to fixed Tape outputs): soundsheavenly.com/line-in-connection/6-30-av-processor-pre-amp-sonos-to-beolab-rca-line-in-one-cable-for-two-speakers.html#/2-length-1m

Hi Steve, can I connect Bang and Olufsen Beovision / Beolab Tweeter (HF) speaker unit to a the Beolab 3500. Currently use the Beolab 3500 as a tv soundbar

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, Beolab 3500 is intended to be a stand alone speaker, it works best when used in this way. There isn’t any easy way to use this along with other speakers, a different speaker would be a better option here.

[@vybzbev7684]

@@soundsheavenly Thank you Steve, much appreciated for your prompt response. What about the tweeter speakers used on another tv as a soundbar. Will they work?

[@soundsheavenly]

@@vybzbev7684 Sorry I can't advise on removing or modifying any parts from inside a TV.

[@rootsojh]

Hi Steve. It's irrelevant to the post, but do the Beolab 3000 and Beolab 5000 use the same amplifier?

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, yes they do - 90 Watts per speaker for either the Beolab 3000, 4500 or 5000

[@SpeedingguyDrake]

Sooo, what’s diffrent in this version from the one yesterday?

[@soundsheavenly]

Christian Drake Sorry for any confusion, this is the same video! I spotted an error in the original video so I replaced it with this new version to correct the error.

[@Ambrosehunt]

Hi Steve. Any idea how I change the clock time on my Beolab 3500 speakers? Many thanks. Kevin

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi Kevin, the time on the Beolab 3500 speakers is sent to the speakers by your main B&O music system or TV - if you change the time on the main product then the time on the speakers will adjust automatically to match within a few minutes.

[@Ambrosehunt]

Thank you Steve. You’re a star!

[@danielmeneses4106]

I have a pair of the 5000 speakers. They sound amazing. Hooked up to a Sansui QRX 6500 33wpc . Also hooked them up to my Pioneer SX 1250 160 wpc and sound fantastic although I was carefull not to drive them to full volume being that the SX 1250 is actually underrated and is really 186 wpc. Classical music is heaven rock n roll is amazingly wonderfull. if u run across a pair grab them.can be a bit pricey but you dont have to spend $5000 to get great sound reproduction.

[@soundsheavenly]

Yes, Beolab 5000 are superb speakers! I searched for a pair for a long time without success and ended up with the smaller 3000s which are still very good.

[@gorter23]

are you still able to find these? in all my years i think i only ever saw 1 pair of them in the Netherlands. havent come across any of the 3. do they sound good? to which speaker are they most comparable?

[@soundsheavenly]

Eric Gorter These are great speakers, owners tend to hold onto them so they don’t often come up for sale. They are quite similar to Beosound Shape in performance, with a little less bass. They excel as Side or rear speakers in a surround sound system

[@caprirsful]

hello Steve i have to much backlight on my displays,so it is hard to see what the displays shows.Do you know what can be the trouble that cause this?

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, sorry I don't know about speaker repairs, I suggest contacting your local B&O store to see if they can suggest a repair agent. If you need any cables then I can help!

[@doug440]

I have a pair of Beolab 5000 speakers- I've never tried hooking them up to my Beosound 9000 system (I've never had them in the same room). Would the displays function at all? Or have erroneous data?

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, as long as you use the correct full wired Powerlink mk.2 cables, then the speaker displays will work perfectly with your Beosound 9000, showing the correct data: soundsheavenly.com/powerlink-8-pin-din-connection/23-314-powerlink-mk-2-compatible-black-8-pin-din-cable-with-fully-wired-8-cores.html#/4-length-3m

I just bought the Beolab 4500 speakers. I wanna connect my Chromecast-audio to the speakers. Would I need an external amplifier or is it possible to connect the Chromecast directly to the Beolab 4500?

[@soundsheavenly]

Hi, yes you can connect a pair of Beolab 4500 speakers directly to the Chromecast Audio with this cable, you don't need a separate amplifier: soundsheavenly.com/line-in-connection/77-241-minijack-to-beolab-line-in-using-phono-rca-sockets-one-cable-for-two-speakers.html#/2-length-1m

[@Emil-vz2uh]

@@soundsheavenly Thanks for a very fast answer! How do I choice the source of input on the 4500? And also: Can I connect the two speakers via speaker link, instead of Power link?

[@soundsheavenly]

@@Emil-vz2uh Please set the speakers to Line mode via the switch at the back. The speakers can only have one device connected at once. Powerlink gives the best sound with a B&O system, or Line should be used if no B&O system is connected.
