Re: BS4+BL4+LCD Setup and sub?

So, now i have soldered the socket, and the woofer is now connected to my BS4 via powerlink. And everything works well. The woofer even switches on and off together with BS4. And the sound is very nice.

Now i have quite good bass, what will be enough in the meantime. So i have a little more time now to think about new B&O speakers

What I meant is the Power link to your BL4 is easy to cut and then solder it together under one of the speakers

this is also mush cheaper So you can work a solder iron! then also solder the Power link cable together so you don't need the Y connection. wounder what cable he gave you?

Yes, some cool solderwork is waiting

I don't need the Y cable for my sub, i need it because i want to change the place of my BL4, and don't want to run two wires.

Update here:

I went to my dealer today to get the right cable for my sub. Oh yes, you know which dealer i mean...

And it came out like i more or less expected: They told me that such a cable is no problem, they gave me one that did look quite right, i paid it and got home. So far so good. But now, that cable is a standart DIN to RCA cable and does not work with my B&O. Of course, i can plug it tinto the Powerlink socket, but thats all, nothing works. GREAT! And the dealer did tell me that it will work with B&O with no problems etc. Really BAD! So i am now really frustrated about my dealer who obviously does not know anything about B&O.

Luckily i remembered then of a little B&O shop that is not to far away, so i though: I will give this one a chance and see how this comes out.

I got there, was greeted warmly and then i explained how i want my setup. So they told me, that such cables are not availeable "as is", but that they can solder one for me if i want. Well, i will try to solder it myself first, i think i will succeed. But they really informed me good, and one guy did even draw me a connection scheme for the different PINs of the socket. Really nice! And they even gave me an "empty" Powerlink socket where i can solder the wires to, so that i have a "normal" socket in the end, and not a "do it yourself" one. Really nice of them! And what did all that cost? Nothing. No cent. Thats a surprise for me. So i think i now found my B&O Dealer

The cable used for AUX connection Din to RCA, that is possible to get with 4 RCA plugs 2 for input and 2 for output this can also be use in a Power link connection. I think the one you think of is the line-in cable for BL3.

Ah is there one which has both channels connected? This is something I'm not sure about, so I'm probably causing unnecessary fuss!

Re: BS4+BL4+LCD Setup and sub?

not if the dealer orders the right Din to RCA

Re: BS4+BL4+LCD Setup and sub?

An issue you may encounter is that the Powerlink to Line adapter only carries one channel, and not both, although I may be wrong with this.

Thanks, that's what i needed to know. So then i will hook my HK Sub to a Powerlink adapter and see how this sounds

Yes you can get them from your B&O dealer, you can not use the AUX because it's a Line out (Plays at full volume all time)

You need to use the Powerlink because there the line signal is adjusted by the volume button, you will also need a Power link splitter to be able to connect it all

I hope a demo at home will be possible, yes.

So for the meantime i will connect my HK Sub to the BS4. Now just to be on the safe side: Do i have to connect it to a powerlink socket or to the "Aux out" Cinch socket? Whats the difference between them?

Well in the mean time you can get a Power link to RCA connector so you can use the kikinoko sub

A good idea too! As it will last about 6 months until i can get new B&O speakers, this seems to be a good option in the meantime. So where can i get such a connector? B&O dealer?
