S/PDIF Digital Cable for B&O Beolab 5 Speakers
This product is a high quality, digital cable to allow you to connect your Bang and Olufsen Beolab 5 digital loudspeakers to a B&O audio system with an S/PDIF digital output to get the absolute best sound possible with no compromise. This cable is ideal for S/PDIF digital audio transmission and will allow the excellent Beolab 5 digital speakers to show their true awesome potential, without being restricted by the limitations of standard analogue sources.
One cable will allow one Beolab 5 speaker to be connected, so two cables will be required for a stereo pair of speakers. To use this cable, your audio system must have an unbalanced S/PDIF digital output. Suitable Bang and Olufsen systems include the Beosound 9000 and the Beocenter 2. Other audio sources with a digital output meeting standard IEC 60958 at 32/44.1/48/88.2kHz with an RCA (phono) output will also be suitable for use with this cable. To connect two Beolab 5's together, simply connect the audio system to the "Digital Input" of the nearest speaker. Then connect the "Digital Output" of that speaker to the "Digital Input" of the next speaker using a second cable. Remember to set each speaker to either "Left" or "Right" channel!
There are two connection options for controlling the volume with a B&O audio system, as you can either use Powerlink cables to do this (the audio signals will go over the digital cables for best quality), or you can use a "synch" cable between the loudspeakers to ensure they play at the same level. If you are using a non-B&O audio system with a digital output, you will need to choose the second option. A Beo 4 or Beo 5 remote control is needed. This listing is for one digital cable, not the Powerlink or synch cables, or the remote controller - if you are in any doubt, please ask!
These cables are not impedance-matched, so they are suitable for use in lengths up to 10 metres. We can also custom-build 75 Ohm S/PDIF cables for use in lengths up to 100 metres - please ask if this is of interest!
