Hi, 

I am thinking of buying a Beocentre 8500 to link with a pair of Beovox S75 speakers. 

I’d also like to connect an Amazon Echo Dot to the Beocentre, so that I can also stream music through the amp and passive speakers.

Is this possible and if it is, how is it done i.e. what type of specific connection cable do I need to link the Echo to the B&O unit. 

Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi and welcome to Beoworld!

You can easily connect the Echo Dot to the Beocenter's TV/AUX input, for which you should use one of these cables: https://soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/67-298-minijack-to-aux-in-ipod-to-beosound-beomaster-beocenter-using-aux-din-socket.html#/2-length-1m

Amazing response!!

Thank you.

Will be in touch for sure as soon as I buy the Beocenter.

Do you also also have speaker leads from the Beocenter for the the S75s?

Kill two birds with one stone!

Many thanks.
