Hi Steve. I would like to use the core the other way around, as a gateway to the multiroom system. To listen to the CD's from the Beosound 9000 on wireless Beousound 2 speakers. So i would like to connect the BS9000 to the line input of the core and than "stream" this signal to the BS2 speakers. Is that possible? Thanks.

After 17 years in storage in a basement in Denmark my old Beosound Ouverture and Beolab 8000 speakers have finally made their way to UK and into my living room. The speakers work perfectly and remain in absolute mint condition, whereas the Ouverture unfortunately has a laser fault and a broken or faulty drivebelt for the cassette player, but is otherwise also in mint condition. Planning to have those faults fixed in the near future I have played around with different ways of playing streaming music in the mean time. The first one I tried was your tip on how to give the speakers WIFI capability via the line ports and an Apple Airport unit, which works a treat. However, I wish to be able to use my Ouverture as well (the radio works and hopefully the CD player and the cassette player will soon be fixed too) without having to crawl around flipping the little switch in the connector housing at the base of the speakers, every time I want to swap between WIFI and Ouverture as input. My solution has been to connect a little Echo Dot via its 3.5mm port to the AUX port on the Ouverture, which works great and I can now play streaming music using voice commands as well as internet radio channels and all the other things the Echo will do. The only problem is that the volume, as expected, is fairly low even with the Echo Dot turned up to full volume and I find myself having to turn the volume up on the Ouverture from typically around 28 to 32, when playing through the Echo Dot. I there any fix for this problem? It is admittedly only a minor problem, and I am planning on getting a BEO4 remote control so I can easily adjust the volume via the Ouverture, but it would be fantastic if there is a way of achieving roughly the same volume output whether I (in the near future) play a CD, the radio, or streaming music via the Echo dot. Sorry for the very longwinded question 😄
@soundsheavenly3 жыл бұрын
Hi, there will always be slight differences in the volume levels of different devices, but you can get them quite close. This cable will allow you to connect an Echo Dot to the Aux socket on the back of your B&O system and it costs from just £14.99 GBP including shipping:- soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/67-298-minijack-to-aux-in-ipod-to-beosound-beomaster-beocenter-using-aux-din-socket.html#/2-length-1m Please set the Echo volume to maximum when connecting to the B&O system - this is normal when using a portable music player with a home audio system due to the low output levels produced by the Echo. To listen to the Echo, simply press "A.Aux" on the B&O keypad, or select this on the B&O remote control by pressing the "LIST" button until the display shows "A.AUX", then pressing "GO".
