Connection of RoomBox 6 to B&O Powerlink
From Living Control
The DIN connectors that provide line and pre-amp level signals out can be connected to B&O powerlink speakers using the following connection scheme.
| B&O function | B&O DIN plug pin | Powerlink cable colour | RoomBox DIN plug pin | RoomBox function |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Powerlink on | 1 | Grey | Do not connect | x |
| Audio ground | 2 | Shields | 2 | Audio ground |
| Left pre | 3 | Brown | 5 | Left pre (variable) |
| Trigger | 4 | Yellow | 8 | Trigger +12 v |
| Right pre | 3 | Green | 5 | Right pre (variable) |
| Data | 6 | White centre | 6 (not required) | Not used |
| Data ground | 7 | White braid | 7 (not required) | Trigger 0 v |
| Not used | 8 | Pink | Do not connect | x |
This can be most easily accomplished by taking a standard Powerlink cable and:
1) Cutting the grey wire.
2) Cutting the yellow and pink wires.
3) Connecting the yellow from the B&O end to the pink from the RoomBox end. Leave the other ends disconnected.
However this swaps the right and left channels. For correct channels make up a cable exactly as shown on the diagram above.
