Mac, BL5 and Impact Twin

 

Hello,

I remember reading in the past a few posts from a handful of beolab 5 owners  using a TC impact twin as a sound card in their system. 

To them I'm Asking: would you please be kind enough to describe in details how you set it all up? In my case I would like to connect my iMac to the bl5 directly via the impact twin. No other B&O devices are invoveld expet the beo4. 

I find the impact too overwhelming, especially the software driver that comes with it. Too many buttons and functions that I don't know how to operate... Speaking of which: does the software need to be installed at all? 

I would really appreciate your inputs. 

Thank you

I searched the Archive Forums for you using "impact twin" and found these three threads:

• http://archivedarchivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/37386.aspx
• http://archivedarchivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/42992.aspx
• http://archivedarchivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/36788.aspx

and I suggest you read them and perhaps send PMs (personal messages) to who you believe is/are the most experienced/knowledgeable member(s)

i use a Cambridge DACMagic Plus with the Beolab 5 and a Beo4 - i have additional B&O Systems, but use my Beolab in Option 4 (LINK - RADIO to switch on)

Sound is coming from a Mac Mini

Thank you for the replies.

The links are useful for basic information, but I still would like to know how to set the parameters on the Tc Impact soundcard. For example: how do I set the sound card to take care of the clock? Not to mention all the other functions and buttons this device has.

Thanks again
