POWER LINK and LINE 1–2 

switch 

Connect to a Bang & Olufsen 

system: 

You have two options for 

connecting your loudspeakers to 
your Bang & Olufsen system:

1) Run a Power Link cable from 

your Bang & Olufsen system 
directly to each loudspeaker. 

You can use either of the two 

sockets.

2) Run a Power Link cable from 

your Bang & Olufsen system to 
the first loudspeaker, and then 
run another Power Link cable to 
the next loudspeaker. 

Choose the option that suits your 
setup best. Set the switch to 
POWER LINK. 

Connect to a non-Bang & 
Olufsen system: 

Use a special cable with an 
ordinary stereo mini jack plug in 
one end, and an RJ45 PL plug in 
the other (optional accessory*

).

Set the switch to LINE 1 or LINE 2: 

–  Use LINE 1 as default setting.
–  Use LINE 2 if your loudspeaker 

does not switch off or if the 
volume is too loud. The sound 
volume will be reduced. 
Loudspeakers must use the  
same line

 

setting. 

LEFT/RIGHT switch

This switch sets the loudspeaker to 

play either the left or the right 
sound channel on a Bang & 
Olufsen system. 

Set the switch to LEFT or RIGHT, 

respectively, when connecting the 
loudspeaker using any of the 
sockets marked POWER LINK. 

Connections and settings

The loudspeakers can be used 

with Bang & Olufsen audio, 
video and link systems. They 
may also be used with non-
Bang & Olufsen systems.

The loudspeakers are designed 

for wall placement. The most 
natural sound is obtained if 
they are set up as explained on 
these pages.

You can access to the socket 

panel from the rear part of the 
loudspeaker.
