I use a B&O cable with a head phone jack on one end and a power link on the other to connect my ipod/computer/etc... to a BS9000. If you can connect that to the 3000, that would work. If you're looking to connect directly to the speakers (I have a BL2 connected to 2 BL8000s), I haven't tried... but I would be willing to give it a try if you really want to know the answer.

yeah i coudl forget the lab2 but i do love bass and it will be mostly dance music

Believe me - no one else but you will care! They'll be too busy talking and quaffing free drink and food, some will even complain that the music is too loud and they can't hear themselves speak Don't worry about it - no one is coming to listen to your sound system - honest

Yeah - miss out the Lab2 - on New Year's Eve everyone will be too drunk to notice and, if you hide it out of sight, no one will stand their drinks on it either

If you use the Line in socket on the speakers, they recognise when music is playing and switch on automatically. The Beolab 2 could be a problem.

is there a convertor cable of some sort for headphone jack to powerlink that i can buy from my dealer,
how will the speaker know to come on as headphone does not contain on off pins???

I'm really the wrong person to help as I don't have either speaker, but I'll offer suggestions until someone knowledgable comes along

My thoughts were that, from the line in most B&O speakers will switch on when a "non-silence" is detected. I could be wrong, I'm sure someone will tell you for sure.

As to what the correct lead looks like I really don't know.

Hello All
When i have had new years partys before i just took my beosound 3000 or 4 into the kitchen and hooed it up with powerlink to my computer and beolab 8000 and lab2 but now i have the computer with beoplyer and no beosound
how can i connect it up to work propery for new years and control the volume wiht the computer
thanks

I would suggest line out from the computer to line in of the speakers but as I don't have either 8000's or BL2 I can't really help.

If you can't take stereo line in to one speaker (such as the BL2) and then powerlink to the others, then the lead requirements become a little more complex.
