What loudspeakers are you using?

Is the line in/out dummy plug in place on the connection panel?

Line in/out connector was only on the 9500, not the 9300. (nor the 9000)

Only on the '9300 and '9500(American versions) in fact,None of the European versions had these connections as far as I can tell?

We saw them with BM6000 and Beocenter 7700,and of course Beomaster 6500 too.Can only wonder why they were only fitted on some model's?

Discuss?

The white DIN plugs were fitted to every 9500 that I ever had and they were all UK models.

The dummy button made the difference.

Thanks a lot.

Type number and/or location would be an enormous help.

Should be compulsory to put location under the avatar as mine is.

Oops, sure enough, from the 9300 setting-up guide: "LINEIN/OUT - Type 2518 only".  I.e. USA.  I had only seen the GB and EU models of the 9300.  But on the 9500, I think all country models had the DIN Line In/Out jack and the white crossover plug.  Certainly EU (Type 2506) did.

EDIT: So does anybody have the answer to Nick's (implied) question?  Why *did* B&O leave the plug in the US version of the 9300 when they "value engineered" it away everywhere else in 1993?  OK, yes, *I* personally did happen to install a multi-band equalizer on my 9500 (before the 9300 came out), but was this *so* common in the States that they couldn't remove it?  Or was there some B&O product that one was intended to plug in to that jack?

[Off-topic: Ultimately I unplugged the EQ because (as it turned out) I was wasting time trying to correct room modes for more than just the main listening position.  It's a living room, and everywhere else it was just as "lumpy" as before.  Plus the old analog equipment was adding noise, actually audible when silence was playing.  Just last year, I figured heck, 25 years of technology later, maybe I'd try again.  So using a MiniDSP DDRC-24 with Dirac Live and a calibration microphone, I tried its automated measurements & correction.  Yikes, what a mess: It did fix two room modes, and flattened out some higher frequencies too, which I could never have done by ear before.  (And if you believe Floyd Toole, maybe I shouldn't have.)  But then it (seemingly) delayed the signal from one speaker, and did automatic impulse response correction.  That gave everything a "hollow" sound -- just awful!  Sooo... back to the white crossover plug!!!]

Yes indeed,it's another of those "what if" type questions!

I assume that B&O had foreseen a development that they thought they should prepare their systems for?

Equalisers were the big thing for a while,but seemed to be at odd's with the B&O ethos?

Hey ho,they have alway's moved in mysterious way's of course,and their current moves continue to baffle?
