A friend of mine has 4 Beolab 8000 speakers. But recently his Beovision TV broke, now he bought a Samsung TV but he wants to connect his speakers again. Is there any way possible with some kind of adapter for the B&O 8 pin connectors?
I found these, but the thing is, he has 5 speakers: https://soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/11-312-7-pin-aux-splitter-dual-aux-tape-input-sockets.html#/20-length-02m

Please help!
Please note that the Beolab Speakers need a controlled preamp output from his source (TV in this case). Not a set output. (Most audio jacks on TVs have set outputs, except for headphone jacks) That allows for volume control from the source.

Contact Steve at SoundsHeavenly. He will be able to provide a list of suitable options. If you want true surround sound though (like would have been in place with the old BV) then the best thing would be to add a A/V receiver that has surround sound pre-outs and connect the 8000's to these pre-outs.
If he can afford it, an Almando 5.1 channel AV system, has Hdmi Arc to allow TV remote to adjust volume. Plus its super small so can be hidden away
I recommend these to clients and the ones that purchase, love them!
