Anyone know the difference between the MK2 & MK3 Powerlink Speaker Cables? I have ventage BeoLab 3000 Speakers connected to my BeoSound 5 & Beomaster 5. Does it make a difference - MK2 or MK3?

Thanks MM!

I can't believe it is 6 years since I last updated that page for Beoworld

For Beolab 3000 speakers with displays, the simple answer is that the speakers won't work correctly unless you have the thicker fully-wired mk.2 cables all the way from the Beomaster to each speaker:-

Mk.1 or mk.3 cables are usually thinner (although not in every case) and they won't work with your speakers.

Any questions, please ask!

Kind regards, Steve.
