Greetings -
I have a pair of beolab penta ii's that I am trying to "properly" connect to my beocenter 9000. The wire that I am currently using is a 2 prong DIN that plugs into the back of the beocenter. The other end of the wires is just bare wire that go into the black/red sockets under the speaker. It looks like there are other sockets to plug into on the bottom of the pentas, but i cant seem to locate the proper ones -- the socket on the bottom of the speaker is different then the 2 prong DIN. There is supposed to be a digital display on the penta speakers that communicates with the beocenter, but I need it wired properly for this to be visible.
Does anyone have any insight or advice?
Thank you for your help!!
I think you will need a converter lead as the output on the 9000 is for passive speakers and the Pentas are Active - there are people on this site that can supply them and I'm sure will reply
thanks for the info. i am fairly new to the B&O world and am working on optimizing my setup. Does the fact that the active speakers are connected to a passive speaker mean it could be detrimental to the speakers in any way? What exactly is a converter lead? Are they scarce?
hello,
Best way to connect BC9000 and BL Penta II´s is to use speakerlink cables. They look a little like Din ones but have three pins. I´m not sure if they are still available from dealers. This way you get the displays working as well.

Four pins, actually. Email Steve at soundsheavenly.co.uk. I think he has some.
