If you can get them to tender all the cable manufacturing to you, you’ll be onto a winner!

Gosh, what a lovely treat. You must post lost of videos and photos!

Hi Steve,

Looking forward to this - hope you enjoy all the technical and learn lots about some of the techniques used to make these products so beautiful. The fact that our favourite a/v maker still employs movement in its products is one of the main attractions for me.

Thanks guys,

I'm really excited about this! I did supply the adapter cables for Beogram 4000c to B&O and it has been an honour to be able to support them with their Classics programme.

I last visited Struer with the Beoworld trip back in 2012 so it will be interesting to see what has changed in the past 10 years. I'm also looking forward to meeting up with a number of good friends at B&O and to introduce them to you on camera!

There will be LOTS of photos and videos from my visit appearing on my YouTube channel and Instagram feed, I want to share the whole experience so that other B&O fans can enjoy the visit as well!

Full details of the visit to follow once I arrive on 20th June...

Good morning Beoworlders! I will be heading to Struer in a few days time and you will be able to follow my visit on my YouTube channel once I arrive.

Please can you let me know what you are most interested in hearing about? (eg. the journey to Denmark, interviews with Geoff Martin and other key B&O people, factory tour, life in Struer, the B&O Museum, etc) I can then try to tailor my videos to meet the most popular topics!

Please check out my YouTube channel for all the details!

Steve,

I'd like to know what the situation is with the Cube measurement chamber. I remember a rumour from a few years back that the Cube we all know and love was going to become part of an open-house style acoustic design centre for any company to use and that B&O were working on a new, bigger and better Cube of their own.

I've never been able to corroborate this, though, and am beginning to wonder if I imagined it!

Hi Adam,

I had a demo in "The Cube" way back in 2012, so I will be interested to see how B&O's measurement facilities have evolved since then.

Full details to follow on my YouTube channel!

Kind regards, Steve.

@AdamS

What you are asking about, is this (in which B&O is deeply involved):

https://soundhub.dk/about/

You can read a lot on the website there.

The Sound Hub is located in the old facility, that B&O did not need anymore after concentrating a lot of the activities in the Fabric 4 (previously used for A/V production).
Fab5 is the aluminium production facility….for your information.

…..and I can asure you that B&O is still using the Cube as before.

No ‘new Cube’ there, but a part of the Fab4 is now used for testing/Acoustic Department - this is a big upgrade to their previous possibilities.
(I am sure that you will learn about this in the videos that Steve plan to publish).

Thanks MM!

That is very interesting. I am looking forward to visiting again, to see what has changed since I was last in Struer back in 2012. I am hoping to be able to share my visit on video very soon!

Kind regards, Steve.
