    Powerlink vs Audio AUX link

    Reply Contact

    Hi,

    can anyone please comment on the technical differences of the Powerlink and Audio AUX link.

    I know that the AUX offers audio in/out but what I'm most interested in is to know if the audio output is controlled via the volume setting on the television or not?

    Best regards, Rasmus M. Jensen

    Audio AUX link carries line level stereo signals between Beo products. It also carries datalink, which enables eg. a Beomaster and a Beovision to communicate. Please note, that there is a difference between audio aux link, and audio aux, for instance the Beosound 9000 has audio aux, but that does not include link. Link is only possible via the MasterLink socket. Datalink is only used in old products.

    PowerLink carries volume adjusted stereo signal, for use between a audio souce and BeoLab speakers. Some (MK 2) also carries data for display.

     So to answer our question, volume with audio aux is handled by the product which recieves the signal, not the souce, whereas PowerLink is the other way around.

    I hopes this helps, otherwise, please ask again.

     

    Best regards

    great.. thanks... so if I mute the speakers on the television (eg. mute command on the beolink 1k) the audio signal is still available on the audio aux ??

    I'm designing a switch-box with inputs from a BeoGram 9500 and a television and output to a BeoSound 4... Smile

    Spot on: Muting the TV does not affect the AUX output from the tv. What TV does you have?

    The reason I am asking is, that it might be possible to convert the aux into MasterLink. Then you would not need a swich box, and you would be able to control the tv via the BS4, even from a link room.

    If it's what you wan to do, there is a box called beolink converter, buy it from eBay or Lee, it works really well. What audio master do you want to connect to which video master?

    It's a BeoVision LS4500...

    ok... I'm aware of the converter, but it's much cheaper for me to make my own switchbox Big Smile

     Lee - is he selling those boxes cheaper or??
