    BeoCenter 9300 questions w/Beolab 8000 speakers

    I was just recently given a 9300 and Beolab 8000 speakers and have not had much luck understanding how to properly

    hook the speakers into the unit. I know it was working when it was disconnected  but do not know if all the wiring

    made it in the move from one house to another . My question is do the Beolab 8000's need a power cord attached to them

    when you open the panel on the bottoms the DIN plugs in and there is a power(or what looks to be a power connection) there under

    the pop up. Is this a standard power cable or is it a cable that plugs into a transformer don't want to plug anything in until I know.

    Oh BTW I did not get a manual which is why I am a bit in the dark. Any help appreciated.

    Hi there and welcome to BeoworldSmile

    Yes, the 8000s need power to them as they contain an amplifier.
    It is a fairly standard lead similar to a kettle power cord.

    You can buy a cable cover that contains both the power lead and the link cables so it looks like one big lead.

    Hi,

    You need a 2pin power cable for each speaker, which has a plug shaped like a number 8.  The signal to the speakers is sent by a Powerlink cable that has 8 pin DIN plugs fitted at each end.  Again, you need one cable per speaker.  You can use any type of Powerlink cable (mark 1, 2 or 3) for Beolab 8000.

    These are freely available from eBay, your local B&O dealer, or other cable companies.

    Best regards,

    Steve.
