probably better to sell your BL Penta Mk1's and buy the Penta MK2's, or MK3's - as the Powerlink connectors suit the BS3000 and BS2500 models better

In fact all the BC2300 family have powerlink except for the quirky named "Master Panel AV 9000" which only has Masterlink ( usually connected back to a Beosystem AV 9000)

This sounds like what I want to do. I want to connect my Beosystem 2500 (similar to overature, etc) to my Penta Speakers. So what I'd have to do is take the DIN out from the BEOSYSTEM 2500 and convert it to RCA and then plug it into the Pentas? Can the Beosystem 2500 provide the information to display on the screen of the pentas through the 2 connections on the 4 pin connection of speakerlink? I guess I'd like to know exactly how to hook up these speakers to my Beosystem.

Craig:

Today I was told that some of the later products don't have the data pins of the powerlink sockets connected to anything. Is this correct?

Craig

Bump!!!!

What's the question for the next answer?

Probably 'how quiet does it need to be before it switches off?
I actually thought it would be "what's the threshold?" But you got the gist Alex!!

Do you know the answer Keith?

When the signal level rises above a threshold the amp switches on. 10 minutes after the signal falls below a threshold the amp switches off.

The answer to your next question is "I don't know" !!!!

What makes the Amps switch On/Off when you use the line level connections?

First thing to then is see if I can get some Speakerlink plugs from my dealer. Then I will try to modify some Powerlink leads for the job.

Hey Craig, Powerlink carries unamplified line level signals. Speakerlink carries amplified signal, which gets attenuated and then re-amplified in the pentas. So you can't go directly from powerlink (which is line level) into a speakerlink socket (which is expecting an amplified input). You'd have to go from powerlink to RCA in, since these are both line level. Then as I said you could still input the display info into the speakerlink sockets though.

Well I have looked at the wiring diagrams for Powerlink and Speakerlink. As far as I can tell all four wires that are in Speakerlink are also present in Powerlink. So I wonder if you could make a conversion lead from Powerlink to Speakerlink? I would be very interested to hear if anyone has tried this and what sucess if any they had.
