Hi Chris,

Thanks for your email, I've sent you a reply with a few options for connecting the Airport Express and your Digital Radio. Please feel free to ask if you need any further assistance!

Kind regards,

Steve.

Thanks for your help. I did have a look and it just appears to be cables for the RF and 3.5mm - I did drop him an email asking him.

I'll be ordering a cable from him soon.

Chris:

Thanks for the help.

Can the AE be connect via USB - as the AE has USB and the BS has mini USB?

Though I have AE's... I have never used the USB port which I believe is for the exclusive use of a printer.

P.S. Perhaps Steve from Sounds Heavenly (the link I provided and a site sponsor/member) will be along shortly to offer you better advice for your specific application. He has done a great deal of legwork already on the BS8 and would be the right person to talk to.

P.S.S. You may find THIS THREAD of interest in the meantime.

Hi Chris,

THIS will get you started!

The AE can be connected via MINIJACK -> RCA. I can't speak for the other device, nor if the feed(s) can be split.

Beosound 8 Connections

I have ordered a Beosound 8 and picking it up tomorrow

I have an Airport Express and a Pure Digital Radio. I wish to connect these to the Beosound 8.

I am interested to know:

Will the Airport Express connect via USB? via USB on Airport Express and mini USB on Beosound?

Secondly, if not - is it possible to buy a 3.5mm double adapter to connect both the digital radio and airport express to the Beosound - obviously, I will be using only one at once!

Thanks. Chris
