Thanks for the information jk1002.

I've spoken to a dealer and he's ordered a cable/adapter he seems confident will work.

Cheers

It is not straight forward.

The BL2 has only power-link connection and no line in. However you can get an adapter at your dealer that will switch the speaker set on/off, to this you would have to connect your mac. See here. I did not know that they sell these boxes outside Japan. We had a picture once.

If that adapter doesn't work, you could always built something yourself that supplies the 5V control power but I would stay away from that. Some people here seem to have done that.

BeoLab 2 and Mac

Hi All,

I did a search on this subject before posting but found conflicting answers.

Is it possible to connect my BeoLab 2 to my Mac?

I now have BeoLab 3's connected to my Mac and they sound great.
Very impressive in high and mid range so I'm pleased. The bass is good
at higher volumes but I'd like a deep sub bass at low to medium volume.

Thanks
