Connect vintage B&O systems to modern BeoLab speakers

Neo Hub Retro makes it possible to connect classic B&O music systems with modern BeoLab active speakers.

With this smart adapter, older B&O amplifiers with speaker output (Speakerlink) can be used with speakers featuring Powerlink input – without changing the original sound experience.

This allows older B&O amplifiers to play directly with modern speakers – without altering the sound character.
