    sonos and BL2000 / BL3500

    Is there a cable and/or adaptor to connect a SONOS ZonePlayer/ZoneBridge directly to the BL2000 and BL3500?

    The BL2000 is Master Link only, it doesnt have a powerlink plus it is not in production anymore.

     

    For the BL3500 you had the same situation, however I know they made a change so that you could use the B&O wireless system and if I recall correct they added an aux but I doubt that you can use that either.

    Why would you not want to use normal Labs? BL3 and BL8000 among other have a "Line In" switch and there are adapter cables available.

    The speakers you picked are specifically link speakers, you could connect them to an Audio Master and and connect to that the Sonos Player.

     

    Cheers

    Re: sonos and BL2000 / BL3500

    I have a pair of BL8000 and I learned from this forum that shouldn't be a problem to use with the line-in switch. But I already have the BL2000 and BL3500 and want to utilize them too. All my music is on my mac or on the internet. I don't need the B&O CD/radio (BS4000?), so I wanted to cut it out entirely.

    There is no adapter to connect master link to RCA or other common interface?

    You need the BS4000 as an audio master I am afraid to drive the link speakers.

    Its not a simple adapter cable to connect to the Link speakers. I would just connect the Sonos to the AUx on the BS4000 (not 100% sure though if that is available via Link)

    There was at some point a company mentioned that could modify the BS3500 to pick up a power link signal so that you could use it as a stand alone speaker, that could work but why do that if you have a BS4000 around anyhow?

    jk1002:

    I guess you mean with adapter cables powerlink to "line in" converters. My question is then what would be the best solution for long cable lengths (e.g. 10 meter): a long phono cable with at the end a "line in" to powerlink to connect to the beolabs? Or could you still use powerlink cables and convert these at the end to a "line in" to connect to the sonos? In the latter scenario, could you then still link from speaker 1 to speaker 2?

    Thanks for any feedback
