Hi Martin,
Welcome to Beoworld! Yes, this is possible, but a special lead may be needed, depending whether you have the mk.1 or mk.2 version of Beolab 3500.
Beolab 3500 mk.1 and LCS9000 speakers have serial numbers lower than 19343452, so please use the mk.1 cable option for these speakers. If the serial number of your speaker is 19343452 or above, you have the mk.2 speaker, so please use the mk.2 cable option. The serial number should be shown on a sticker at the back of the speaker, near to the socket panel - if you are in any doubt, please ask!
A B&O remote (either Beo4 or Beolink 1000) is needed to set the speaker to Powerlink / MCL mode each time it is switched on (by pressing MENU MENU 0 4 GO on a Beo4 or MENU MENU 0 4 PLAY on a Beolink 1000) and volume control is then managed from the connected device (eg. TV, iPod, etc). To turn off the speaker, press the “Power Off” button on the remote as usual.
Here is the cable that you need to use the Beolab 3500 with your iPhone: http://soundsheavenly.com/airport-express/155-ipodtvairport-express-to-beolab-3500-mk2-cable.html
Kind regards, Steve.
