I am pretty sure this is the case, but a confirmation would be nice.</p><p>- I thought the beolink inpunt of the beolink passive could also be used to connect passive speakers directly to a beolink output. Is this correct? If yes, are any settings to the beolink passive needed to do this?</p><p>Thanks!</p><p>Bieele&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
