Dear Forum, 

I wish to connect my old Beomaster3000+Beogram3300 setup to my newly bought Beosoud 2 speaker system. However, I can't seem to find any sort of adapter or cable that could work with the beomaster and connect it to Beosound, which is limited to classic 'line in-jack'. 

Now I'm starting worry, if it's at all possible to hear radio and vinyls through the Beosound 2 with my current setup? 

 

Hoping to hear from you and a happy Easter to all! :-)

If there is a headphone out on your beomaster you can just connect that to the Line-in of the BS 2 and it should work.

B&O in my life 😊: 

 

  • Beolab 8002 + Beolab 2 + Beosound Core with Essence Remote (Office)
  • Beolab 6000 + Beolab 11 + Beosound Core with Essence Remote (Bedroom)
  • Beoplay A9 Mk2 (Living Room)
  • Beosound 1 with wireless dock (Portable)
  • Beosound Balance (Dining)
  • Beoplay H95 (Focused listening, travel)
  • Beoplay H9 (3rd gen) (retired)
  • Beoplay P6 (Portable)
  • Beotime wall clock (hallway entrance)
  • BMW X5 50i with B&O Audio Package (Commute/drive)

It should be easy to connect.

Your BM3000 has  Tape-2 Line Out.  Use a stereo RCA to 3,5mm stereo mini jack to line in of the BS2. That should work.

Hi skive1967,

Welcome to Beoworld!

Yes, either option mentioned above will work, the Tape 2 Out option that Beobuddy mentioned is the best one to try, as this will give a good signal regardless of the volume setting on the Beomaster (whereas the headphone output needs the Beomaster volume to be turned right up).  All you need is a cable like this one to connect to the Beosound 2:-
