Arvid Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I have a pair of vintage banger olofsen speakers and on the end of the cabel its a unfamiliar input adapter. And My question is if i could cut the adapter of and skin the cabel and just use the two copper wires to plug into My stereo/amplifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 A belated welcome Arvid Sorry for the delayed response and please ignore the crass sales pitch from the first person who answered. That response will probably be removed by the moderator. I'm not real familiar with B&O speakers (this is a New England speaker forum and those are European) but I think at least some of them are active (i.e. powered) speakers and they use a DIN connector. In that case--no. You can't connect them to your receiver as you describe. The first photo below is a DIN connector. It has the silver collar and 5 to 8 pins. OTOH, some B&O speakers are passive and use a 2-pin connector. In that case you could cut the wire. The second pic below is a 2-pin passive speaker connector. Best bet is to post a photo of the connector. -Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analogman Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Where did you find those photos Kent? "Stock", or do you know a vendor? The last two pin plugs I bought I had to get through a Telefunken collector friend in Germany (they are easy to buy there at brick and mortar electronic shops for just a few bucks) - the German version of a Radio Shack or a Best Buy is where mine came from The asking here was insane (at least when I was looking for them) Thank you Kent Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Sorry to disappoint--those are stock photos. But look for "2-pin speaker plug" on ebay. I see lots of them, cheap (like 10 for $7). Good luck. Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Thanks Kent, I'm good for now, have two sets stashed, was just wondering I did search your image and it led me to one of those vendors asking an arm and a leg Thanks again Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
