BeoSound 3000 - Type Numbers

17 replies
I would look for a later software version (or latest SW, like Carolpa's) if I was looking for a BS3000, rather than worrying about clamper size. Obviously the earlier 'small clamper' versions are more likely to have earlier software, unless they have been updated.

If you search BS3000 on UK eBay they often show photos of the labels so you can get a good idea of Type Numbers, SW versions and clamper size.

The small clamper version is shinny and the big clamper is mat. EDIT: unless you replace the whole fascia, sorry.

Are the software versions and their differences listed somewhere?

I’m offered a BS3000 with identical Type and Item numbers then Carolpa only Sw and Serial are different:

carolpa Sw 3.4 and 1761… serual.

mine: SW 3.1 and 1691… serial

Only 1 year difference and 3 SW versions is that right?

And what about changing the SW chip?
  1. I have got the BS3000 now and it looks very nice.
The FM Antenna is missing, does somebody know where to source one? EDIT: This is realy of topic here, so I will start a new topic for the antenna.
