Hi,
I got a pair of b&o 6002 speakers but unfortunately they came without any cables. So now i dont even know if they are working..
I need a weird looking cable for power (to turn them on) for each speaker (220-230v) but i dont now where to find these cables.
Any help would be appreciated!
(Preferably from some EU shop)
hello, the power cables are available from AMAZONs, like this one

So that the boxes can work you need a trigger signal via the 7-pin DIN socket (Powerlink) or an audio signal via the RCA socket.

You need to let us know what you intend to use them with, and then we can suggest the best solution.
Cables are available from our site sponsor at the foot of the page - he will also be able to supply a suitable powerlink trigger solution.
Thank you for answering, much appreciated!
Here are two photos of the inputs and modell nummer:

Notice the weird looking power input (like on a powered taxor, bit with a rounded corner..) :)
I want to be able to hook them Up with my NAD 3020 amplifier, but i have other danish speakers for the amp (Jamo). Most of all i want to use the 6002 speakers with my phone and/or TV.
But first i need to check of they work at all, bought them second hand..
the power cables with the 2 rounded connector sides fit perfectly into the connector!
You can get the special cables for connecting the phones from Steve at Sounds Heavenly.
It should be noted that the speakers only switch on when they receive a sufficiently good audio signal via the RCA (coax) connection or a trigger signal from one of the two powerlink connections
Please never use the loudspeaker output signal of a power amplifier as this would destroy the loudspeaker!
The line-out of devices should preferably be used as an input signal.
With an iPhone, for example, connection via the headphone output is possible!

Please be aware that these speakers are ‘active speakers’ - means that rhey do not need an amp, because the amps are built in to the speaker.
This means that you won’t be able to run them off the NAD (without some trickery).
They need a preamplifier providing a line output!

There is a tv - and there is a BV

... a "variable" or "volume-regulated" line output... Otherwise, it'll be pretty loud... for a little while... :-)

Thank you all for answering my beginner questions :)
Now, i already had a RCA. But i bought one C7 cable in the local shop (sorry Steve) to turn them on. I tried the first one. At first it sounded odd, maybe even broken? Where is the bass? But after i while i got used to the sound and realised that i compared them to my big old Jamo speakers. I tried the next one, it also worked! Now im starting to enjoy the sound.
By the way, i find it really difficult to put on the covers/grills, is that something you can relate to?
Also, how to connect the speakers to my TV?

I dont think that RCA on the TV is output..(?) And no jack for headphones either..

Use the TV's optical output into one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Toslink-Converter-Adapter-Optical-Black-96-KHz-2-0CH/dp/B00KNNSKV0/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=YE404Z6MKC73&keywords=optical+to+phono+converter&qid=1579260487&sprefix=optical+to+phono%2Caps%2C147&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzR1g2MkJEVjVVV0dGJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjM0Mjk5M05PU1g2Q0xOUUdRSiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjE3NTkzMUNVRUxTNEhGREVCQSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
and then connect to one of your aux inputs with one of these: https://soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/52-72-stereo-rca-twin-phono-to-beosound-aux-input-din-socket.html#/2-length-1m
EDIT: Deleted the above as you don;t have a B&O music system. Simply use phono cables to connect the adaptor to whatever amplifier you are using.
Alternatively Steve sells this which has a volume controlled output suitable for feeding direct to your Beolabs. https://soundsheavenly.com/tv-input/180-optical-to-analogue-audio-converter-with-volume-control.html
