3. BOSSCOM

BOSSCOM The digital world of consumer electronics offers high-quality devices, technologically sophisticated devices, devices with great design and easy-to-use devices.

And there are a few devices that combine all these in one, to cater to all needs of the customer - like BOSSCOM devices of

ip media systems GmbH.

This requires exploring new and unconventional ways and being able to rely on years of experience.

BOSSCOM Thank you for purchasing this automatic source-switch

Powerlink with 8-pin DIN and RCA jacks. The BOSSCOM

Switch Powerlink-Switch is to 100% compatible with B&O audio sources to B&O ® systems, connection of B&O

to the audio devices of other manufacturers, etc.

® devices.

This device provides you the solution to many problems

of audio installations, such as feed-in of any

Speakers

The examples shown in this guide represent only a small part of the many possible uses.

BOSSCOM The BOSSCOM WirelessPowerlink System was especially

developed for your B&O ® and is the way of signal transmission

Wireless from the system to the speakers, wherever a wired

Powerlink connection is not possible or simply too expensive.

The transmitter of your B&O ® TV and the receivers of the rear speakers, for example, are constantly connected

- This means you can enjoy wireless surround sound in absolute

CD quality. The automatic frequency change always guarantees the best possible transmission.

BOSSCOM A digital receiver of BOSSCOM can be controlled with a

Receiver Bang & Olufsen

B&O

compatible

® remote control, such as the Beo4 ® .

This makes the use of multiple remote controls a thing of the past. Our receivers can easily be integrated into the time-controlled programming of a Bang & Olufsen

The full integration into a Bang & Olufsen ®

® system.

link-system is possible without any problems. Image and sound of the receiver can thus be transported to other rooms, and the simultaneous full operation of the receiver from there is guaranteed.

4. Examples of Use

I. Converting LF-Signals (Stereo RCA) to Standard-Conforming

B&O

Powerlink Signals

B&O

Speakers e.g. BeoLab 8000

B&O

Speakers e.g. BeoLab 8000

® any stereo source such as

BOSSCOM

Powerlink-Switch

SONOS

Zoneplayer

Connect any stereo source with an RCA cable to INPUT 1 of the

BOSSCOM Powerlink-Switch, via the adapter cable (included) and use the device as a Powerlink converter.

Once a low-frequency signal is present, a standardconforming B&O

Powerlink signal (including switching signal) is sent.

If the source does not send a signal (e.g. it's turned off, or muted), an intelligent switch provides a delay of about 1 minute

- only then will the Powerlink signal be switched off and the

B&O

speakers will go into standby mode.

This is necessary for longer pauses in audio books for example and allows you sufficient time to select the next songs to be played from your music library.

5. Examples of Use

II. Feed-in of LF-Signals (Stereo RCA) to B&O

Automatic Switching (without trigger signal)

® Systems with

B&O

Speakers e.g. BeoLab 6000

B&O

Speakers e.g. BeoLab 6000

Any stereo source, e.g.

SONOS ® Zoneplayer

BOSSCOM

Powerlink-Switch

B&O ® System e.g. BeoSound 9000 ®

Interconnect the BOSSCOM Powerlink-Switch between your

B&O

system and your B&O

® speakers. Connect any stereo source with an RCA cable to INPUT 1 of the BOSSCOM

Powerlink-Switch, via the adapter cable (included).

Once a low-frequency signal is present at INPUT 1, it is converted to a standard-conforming B&O

Powerlink signal

(including switching signal); otherwise INPUT 2 (Powerlink) is passed through. CAUTION: If signals are present at both INPUT 1 and INPUT 2, INPUT 1 always has priority!

If the source does not send a signal to INPUT 1 (e.g. it's turned off, or muted), an intelligent switch provides a delay of about 1 minute - only then will the Powerlink signal be switched off and the B&O

speakers will go to standby mode, or INPUT 2 will be passed through (if a signal is present).

6. Examples of Use

III. Dolby Surround Setup for LOEWE ® TV and B&O ® Systems with

Automatic Switching (with trigger signal)

Front Speakers e.g. BeoLab 8000

TV with Dolby

Surround decoder, like

LOEWE

Individual

B&O

System e.g.

BeoSound 3200

2 x BOSSCOM

Powerlink-Switch

Rear Speakers e.g. BeoLab 3

Use two BOSSCOM Powerlink switches and connect for example your

LOEWE ® TV to your B&O® system and your B&O® speakers. Connect the two front channels of your TV to the front speakers, via INPUT 1 of the first BOSSCOM Powerlink switch and the two rear channels to the two rear speakers, via the second BOSSCOM Powerlink switch.

7. Examples of Use

III. Your stereo source - in this example, a BeoSound 3200

switches. You will need a Powerlink Y-cable.

® - is going to be connected to INPUT 2 of both BOSSCOM Powerlink

You can also create a trigger level, by connecting the adapter cable (included) to each INPUT 1 of the BOSSCOM Powerlink

switch, if the audio source provides such, like the LOEWE ® TV in the example shown. The voltage must be provided to both

BOSSCOM Powerlink switches with a Y-cable and the short circuit plug must be connected to the RCA cable with the description

Trigger ON/OFF, of both adapter cables. The advantage of using the trigger level on INPUT 1 is that is the automatic switch to

INPUT 2 is no longer initiated after a lag of about 1 minute without audio signal, but immediately when the trigger level is no longer present - this way you don't need to wait, to be able to listen to the audio source of INPUT 2.

In the example shown, you can enjoy Dolby Surround Sound for

TV and Speaker-4 sound when listening to the audio system - and all this completely automatically. You do not need to unlock the source on the B&O system with the B&O remote control - you simply turn on the TV and the B&O speakers are turned on automatically.

The following applies: If both sources are active, INPUT 1 has priority!

8. Safety Instructions

Connect the device to the mains supply, via the supplied power cord. Do not repair damaged cables.

The operating voltage must match the local mains voltage.

Protect the device from humidity and moisture. Do not operate the device in the rain. The device may not be used near water, bathtubs, washbasins, kitchen sinks, wet rooms, swimming pools or damp rooms.

Do not place objects filled with liquids such as vases, jars, bottles, etc. on the device.

Avoid direct sunlight and placement near radiators, heaters or similar devices.

Condensation may form inside the device, if it is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm place. Wait until the device has reached room temperature, before turning it on.

The device should be unplugged, if it is unattended or not used for prolonged periods and to protect it during lightning storms.

This will prevent damage to the device due to lightning and power surges in the mains.

Improper use will void the warranty!

Frequently asked questions

The Powerlink Switch is a stereo audio switch that allows you to connect two audio sources to a B&O system. It has an automatic switching feature that will switch to the source that is sending a signal.

Connect the Powerlink Switch to your B&O system using the 8-pin DIN jacks. The Powerlink Switch is compatible with B&O devices.

The Powerlink Switch has two inputs (INPUT 1 and INPUT 2) and one output (OUTPUT). INPUT 1 is a standard RCA input, while INPUT 2 and OUTPUT are both 8-pin DIN Powerlink jacks.

The level increase feature allows you to adjust the volume of devices with reduced line-level, such as MP3 players. The right and left channels can be adjusted independently.

The Powerlink Switch will automatically switch to the source that is sending a signal. If both sources are active, INPUT 1 will have priority. The Powerlink Switch also has a delay timer that will switch to standby mode after one minute if no signal is received.
