How can I connect my Marantz receiver to the BeoLab 6000 speakers? What cables or wires will I need? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi emeraldskies74,

Welcome to Beoworld!

If your receiver has pre-out sockets (these MUST be variable, volume-controlled outputs, NOT Tape or Line outputs), then you can connect a pair of Beolab 6000 speakers to these sockets using this cable:-

However, if your receiver doesn't have pre-out sockets fitted, you can still connect the speakers by one of the two methods below:-

1) Connect two speakers to the headphone socket of the receiver with this cable: https://soundsheavenly.com/line-in-connection/77-241-minijack-to-beolab-line-in-using-phono-rca-sockets-one-cable-for-two-speakers.html#/2-length-1m

2) Connect two speakers to the red and black speaker terminals on the back of the receiver using this special Attenuated Converter: https://soundsheavenly.com/line-in-connection/33-power-amplifier-to-beolab-line-in-attenuated-convertor-kit.html and then use this cable to connect the speakers to the output sockets of the Converter: https://soundsheavenly.com/line-in-connection/6-30-av-processor-pre-amp-sonos-to-beolab-rca-line-in-one-cable-for-two-speakers.html#/2-length-1m

Option 1 is cheaper, but the cable will be visible at the front of the receiver and this will disable any other speakers connected to the receiver.  Option 2 allows the cables to be hidden and the Beolab speakers can be used along with your other speakers for surround sound if required.

Please set both speakers to “Line” mode using the small switch near the input sockets.  Please let me know the model number of the receiver if you need any further help.

Kind regards, Steve.
