I purchased a few 7 pin female to male RCA adapters to test a Beogram 5005 turntable that I acquired.

So I plugged in the 5005 male connector into the female adapter and then the male RCA into my phono stage input on my (confirmed working) amplifier.

But I get NO MUSIC …just a hum that is consistent with the volume.

Because I ordered a few of the adapters I figured I would try another…same problem.

Does anyone know what could be wrong here ?

The 7 pin connectors only connect one way and I have confirmed that I have it hook up correctly.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated

Thank you

Hi Cavscout,

How sure are you that the leads in your cable(s) are connected to the right pins?
Do you have a scheme of the connections, and where did you buy them? (Did you contact Steven from SoundsHeavely?)

Hi kolfMAKER

I am not at all sure if they are connected to the right pins as the connector only fits one way.

Here is what I bought.

GLHONG MIDI Din 7 Pin Female to Dual RCA Male Professional Grade Audio Cable for Bang & Olufsen, Naim, Quad.Stereo Systems (1.5 Meter) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07W1PKMRQ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_19KTVQ6MH7KAD4CZXXZW

 

I don’t know SoundsHeavily

The cable could be wired for the signal to go in the opposite direction. Have a look at the diagrams here – schematics 7 and 8 may explain the problem (albeit you need to imagine a female DIN): http://www.hifi4all.dk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32157&PN=1

EDIT: The cable that you have bought is for an input into a DIN-equipped B&O amplifier – hence wrong direction. You need one like this: https://soundsheavenly.com/beogram-record-players/14-2244-beogram-to-non-bo-device-phono-pre-amp-receiver-amplifier-etc.html#/2-length-1m/60-grounding-internal_ground_link

Thanks but that was a video.

Where is the price for the cable and for shipping ?

Do you have that link ?

Thank you

Hi Cavscout,

Thanks for your enquiry. If your amplifier has a built in phono pre-amp, then you just need this cable to connect it to the phono input of the amplifier:-

If the amplifier doesn’t have a pre-amp, you will need this pre-amp kit instead, which comes with all cables needed and full instructions, ready to “plug and play”:-

https://soundsheavenly.com/beogram-record-players/12-2196-pre-amp-bundle-for-bo-beogram-and-all-turntables.html#/36-output-5_pin_din_aux/41-power_supply-uk – please choose the “Twin RCA plugs” output option for your amplifier.

If you are unsure about whether the amplifier has a built-in pre-amp, please email me the full model number and I will be pleased to confirm this.

Kind regards, Steve from Sounds Heavenly.
