Beolab 8000 MK1 Foam Replacement – Original Foam Specs & Templates?

[Leo Axelsson]

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to renovate a pair of Beolab 8000 MK1 speakers. From what I understand, I’ll likely need to replace the internal foam damping material since the original foam tends to deteriorate over time.

Does anyone know the technical specifications of the original foam that Bang & Olufsen used?

• Foam type/material
• Density
• Thickness

My idea was to buy a larger foam sheet and cut the pieces myself instead of buying the pre-cut replacement kits, since those seem fairly expensive.

Also, does anyone happen to have:

• Templates or blueprints for the different foam pieces?
• Measurements or diagrams for the internal foam layout?

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated 🙂
