Neo Hub Retro™
Give classic B&O new life
Short description
Neo Hub Retro is designed to connect older B&O music systems – with passive speaker outputs – to modern active Beolab speakers. An elegant solution for those who want to preserve their vintage B&O sound source and enjoy it with contemporary sound quality.
Technical description
Neo Hub Retro allows you to connect a traditional B&O power amplifier (or any other amplifier with speaker outputs) directly to active B&O Beolab speakers via Powerlink.
It receives the signal from the Speakerlink output – a classic B&O standard with left, right and data channels – and adjusts the level internally. It is designed to handle output powers from 1 to 80 watts, making it extremely versatile and compatible.
The output is a standard B&O Powerlink 8-pin DIN connector, optimized for active Beolab speakers.
