    Center channel with Beolink passive

    Reply Contact

    Is it possible to use a Beolink passive to drive the center channel from a BS3?

    If this usage is possible:

    - The connection from BS3 to the Beolink Passive should be only by Powerlink? No use for the MasterLink?

    - How to drive/connect to the speaker? Beolink Passive drives left and right speakers, how to drive only one?
    (I am considering a passive non BO center speaker - a Bose one - a temporary solution before a full fledge B&O solution.)

    Regards,

    First of all, Bose? Well whatever.

    Theoretically the way to do it is to connect PL from the center channel of the BS3 to the Passive Kit (no ML or IR plugged in) and the speakers plugged in there. The issue is that the Bose (feels horrible to even type that) is likely mono so I'm not sure how this outputs. Maybe someone else has tried this and figured out how it works. It may just replicate the mono center to both channels if you choose a BeoLab 7-4.
