the Beosystem 3 has more powerlink sockets and if I use for every Beolab an extra socket (one for left, the other one for right…..) this would not work? Correct, you’re right this would work.We have this discussed here too ...https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/37113/280720.aspx#280720My B&O Icons:
Hello!
is ist possibile to put 5 Beolab 7.4 as an surround system?
does it make sense?
i have them from other installations and i thought if this would sound good?
the TV is a Beovison 7/55
hope to read some „inputs“ from you :-)
kind regards, beos6
Why not? It is a cheap solution for great sound.
I do that only with 2 BL7.4 for stereo sound and it is so much powerfull when you look movies.
You need a special powerlink cable that to do the stereo signal splitted in left and right channel.
A german company do that for me. In UK is our sponsor Steve from Sound Heavenly the best address.

Thank you so much for replying.

I always ordered my cables from steve but now the tax for goods from England is to high
can you tell me the adress from the german dealer?

Have you try that out? I have it and it dont works with my BVE. BL 7.4 is only a mono speaker and not a typical stereo speaker from B&O as the other ones do you know. But ok, I am not a technican and I am very happy with the splitter when the helicopter flight from the left side to the right side in movies. You can try it out and make your own experience. Contact here https://jadigital.de/kontakt/ or over ebay here https://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?_ssn=www.jadigital&store_name=superelektrostore&_oac=1&_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2562 maybe Steve can answer here too about the mono problem with the BL7.4 Steve dont send outside UK for this moment :(My B&O Icons:
Hi beos6, not a bad thought! Powered speakers with proprietary acoustic lens technology in a casted aluminium cabinet, sometimes for 50 euros. Hard to beat, they were not cheap when new, like 2500. You might need some space for the BV7s and stands that come with them though :-). And they tend to be a bit sticky. What was your thought how to place them (stands)?

Thank you for all replies. I will make a wall mount in front and maybe stands for surround.this is a great idea...!! never thought of this.. If we use just 1 Beolab 7.4 for center.. we only send Left OR Right...correct? We dont send both signals (L R) to this speaker. I ask because..i have a 7.4 that we make the RCA cable to powerlink and 12v trigger. We send BOTH left and right..but the speaker sounds very loud..more than the other speakers..i think we send double signal too much.Please Log In to Reply
