bumble: .... but should otherwise be about $2.00/ft in bulk. Worth the lack of gray hair this way... Thanks for the suggestion .. except the bulk cable now costs $4.80/ft from B&O. Now that does turn your hair gray! Ouch!! I'll try to find another supplier.

Hagen2000: .... As far as I know not really all pins need to be connected though I may be wrong with this. According to the information given here: http://www.beoworld.org/beotech/wiring2.htm a 3-conductor (brown, green, yellow) plus ground shield cable is the minimum. But what I like to know is the size of the conductors . Dimensions can be either

Hi Michael, I appreciate your comment and do agree. But I don't want to splice. I want to use two 8-pin DIN B&O wall plates (number 7210473) and run a cable similar to the $$$ B&O cable between them. My Beolabs 8000 then connect to the wall plate using short regular B&0 cables.

Since I want to do my own "behind the wall" wiring it would be very helpful to know what the size conductors are used in a 8-pin power link cable? I have seen comments for sizes that range from 18 awg to 24 awg. Are all the six conductors of the same size, including the two shielded ones? Thanks for any help! Al

Hello Hagen, yes, I plan to use custom length B&O power cable (without connectors) and 8-pin DIN wall plates. Since I am only connecting the 8000 speakers and the Beosound 9000 I am wondering whether I should go to the trouble and making 8 connections as shown here: http://www.beoworld.org/beotech/wiring2.htm or just the minimum 4 ? [shown here

Thanks for the quick reply, Austin! Does it matter whether it is a MK-3 or Mk-1 cable? As I understand it, to connect Beolab 8000 speakers to a Beosound 9000 I only need a 4-core wire cable, correct? Fewer wires to solder the better! Al

camshaft: Yep, they're just DIN connections. Austin Are these regular (13.2 mm diameter) or mini-Din (9.5 mm) connectors? Thanks! Al
