Beolab 5 cables – Powerlink & connection options

Special connection cable, different from the rj45 to din cables you find at beoplay cables.

Please note, this cable is different from the above core beolink passive cable! other picture follows!

This Van damme cable is MKII connected (8X) outer jacket is polylefin (PE-LD)

cable is shielded aluminum/polyester foil,

cable thickness is approx 6 mm

Connecting cables are 0.16 mm and oxygen free copper.

This should solve the noise that normal cables from Cavus or Bosscom can cause when connected to the beosound Core or Essence.

Please note, When connecting cables always disconnect the power from the TV or audio as well as the beolab, wait 30 seconds before disconnecting or connecting the cable.

High-End cable

Van damme is a leading player in the studio cable market and has been used at the last 12 Olympic Games.
Their cables can also be found in many other professional spaces and facilities, including the Sheikh Zayed Bridge in Abu Dhabi.
Van damme SPDIF cables provide accurate, deep and natural reproduction.
These cables are custom made in the factory to our specifications and branded with our own branding.

The jacket of the cable is made from a flexible and rugged PVC rubber and the screen is braided around the core to enhance the protection form unwanted Electro Magnetic Interferences.

This lead has a specific impedance of 75 ohms which is the industry standard resistance that SPDIF and Word Clock use in order to transmit digital data. Without this devices would not ‘Sync’ correctly and information would be lost or misrepresented.

Cable also suitable for beolab 50 and 90 (one cable needed) Read manual !

This cable is needed when connecting the Beolab5 digitally to a non-B&O source.

With this cable the internal volume control on both speakers is synchronized so that both speakers reproduce the same volume,

this cable is only needed when connected via S/PDIF.

This cable is grey in color.

Double RCA cable with connectors.

Smooth and professional cable

Connector A: 2 x Tulip (RCA) male
Connector B: 2 x Tulip (RCA) male

Gold-plated connectors
Audio Type: Stereo

The internal cabling is provided with a durable
shielding. This gives excellent protection against interference such as electromagnetic fields produced by dimmers, electric motors or power cables.

The SIG series cables are “all-round” signal cables suitable for all types of applications where reliable signal transmission is required.

Also for LINE connection

View of connections of Beolab 5, the Sync is behind the rubber cap, which must be removed if necessary.

There are two ways to connect Power Link cables, as shown here.

Standard connection B&O setup.

Setup where TV is the master, 9000 via master link

Connection to non B&O receiver, sync cable is necessary and tulip cables (line)

Option 0 (factory setting): For connection to a Bang & Olufsen audio or video system.

Option 1: For connection to a system from another brand. If desired, you can also use a Bang & Olufsen television in the same room

Option 4: If the speakers are connected to a system from another brand and if you also have an additional Bang & Olufsen audio system in the same room

To change the option setting: > Press LIST while pressing the ∙ button on Beo4. > Release both buttons. > Press LIST repeatedly until OPTION* appears in the Beo4 display. > Press the center button. > Press LIST repeatedly until L.OPT* appears in the Beo4 display. > Enter the correct option number (0, 1 or 4).

To change the LINE input level: > Press LIST repeatedly until SOUND* appears in the Beo4 display. > Press the center button. > Key in the desired value for the LINE input level (1 if the LINE input level < 2 V RMS; 2 if the LINE input level > 2 V RMS ≤ 4 V RMS).

LINE connections Use regular phono cables to connect the speakers directly to the system. If the LINE output level is higher than 2 V RMS, you must set each speaker to a higher input level (> 2 V RMS ≤ 4 V RMS), as described in Tuning BeoLab 5 to your system (p. 11). 'Syncr.' connection Connection between the two speakers. This connection ensures that both speakers maintain the same volume level.
