Hello everyone!

First time posting.

I have a BS 9000 powerlinked to a passive driving two non-BO speakers. i just purchased 2 beosound 4000's i am going to connect to the 9000. I would like to remove the non-BO speakers and bridge the passive into 1 beosound Penta that i converted to a Beovox because the amp died. Can i bridge the passive? Or, can i connect both channels of the passive to the 1 beovox? Or should I just use one channel to the Penta? 

Any comments or advice welcome.

Thanks!

I have similar interests in knowing if it is possible to bridge a single passive speaker with a MCL converter.  Has anyone here done that?  I just don't want to hurt any of my beloved B&O equipment.

Hi,

 

bridging a MCL 2P, MCL-MC or Beolink converter is not possible because for bridging you need one non-inverted signal on the first input  _and_ the same signal inverted to the second input! Another point is that the amplifiers 'sees' only the half impedance of the speaker. This might be problematic then.

The amplifiers are also not designed to drive a speaker in parallel!

 

The only thing you can do is drive two seperate speakers with those devices without modifying them internally!!
