Hi,

Only 4 wires plus screen are required for mark 3 cable (left and right audio, voltage reference and mute) plus screening conductor. The fifth wire referred above to is the screen/audio ground.

Best regards,

Steve.

Hi,

Gerd is correct, although I would always recommend that if you still have the original mark 1 cables (VERY thin, c.2mm diameter) then when you replace your speakers, this is a good time to go for some new mark 3 cables anyway. The mark 1 cables are not the most robust option and if you are burying your cables in walls or ceilings, mark 2 or 3 cables give you some "future-proofing" if you make changes further down the line.

Best regards,

Steve.

No problem. Only later BL4000 (ICE Power) need PowerLink cables MKIII (5 wires)

Beosystem 2500 and Beolab 4000

I have an early Beosystem 2500 with the original Beolab 2500 speakers. I want to buy an early pair of Beolab 4000s (Non ICE) to replace the BL 2500s. Are there any compatibility problems particularly with 'Powerlink' cables?
