No, don't strip the actual small cables that get pushed into the slot. The slot is designed to cut through the insulation and make a solid contact with the inner wire. Exposing more of wire opens up the potential for shorting and crossed wires. It's also much easier

Thanks Stan - very helpful advice.

So, I don't need to strip the actual small cables that get pushed into the slots? I thought I had to strip those as well..

I've got 1 large junction box and 2 small so I should be ok. I understand that it doesn't matter how many links you add to a master link cable..

The small junction boxes are simple - especially if you're just connecting 2 MLs. With 3 or more, it can get a little tight, and I'd recommend using the larger box (which is really just the smaller box oriented perpendicular to the wires in a larger enclosure). Definitely consider the larger box for 4, but 3 isn't that bad.

Carefully cut off about 2 inches of the ML cable's outer insulation (cut off slightly more than the length of the junction box) and unwrap the 3 bundles of wires from their foil. Be careful not to disturb the insulation on the individual wires. Use the included tool push to the wires into their appropriate slots (follow the color coding). Make sure you push the wires down firmly so the slots cut through the insulation. The first set of wires should go all the way to the bottom of the slot. Start with the 3 uninsulated grounding wires, then work your way down the junction box. Try to keep your wires organized so the don't get twisted around too much. Trim the excess wire. Repeat.

My wife teases me because she says I'm not very handy (actually, I'm just lazy), but I've done this 6 or 7 times (I've linked my BS9000, BeoPort, BL3500 and BL-Active, twice because I moved) and my connections have all worked fine.

Hi Bebs

Yes you need to add A. SETUP to the Beo4 and when you are in this mode, choose a comfortable volume and select STORE

Hope this helps,

Adjusting start up volume on link speakers?

Hi all,

I'm installing 2 x Lab3500s and 1 x Lab2000 this weekend courtesy of Lifestyle AV - thank you Lee ;o)

Does anyone know how to adjust the start up volume on these link speakers?

Is it a matter of using the beo4s: MENU - SETUP - SOUND - ADJUST. Then adjust volume and press 'Go' to store ?

Haven't had any of these speakers before and expecting delivery this Saturday :o)

Thanks all!
