Hi guys!

Can anyone help me out on what is probably a simple question? I have bought a used Beocenter 2300, and paired with my Beolab 3's I find that the sound is a bit thin. It's like the Beolab 3's don not reach their potential. Things get even worse when audio is streamed to the set via Apple Airtunes or from Spotify using Airfoil. Even when spotify is set at high bitrate on a premium account.

Anyway - I have found that enabling Loudness at least helps a little bit. Does anyone know how I set the 2300 to have Loudness constant on? I have no problem turning it on from day to day, but it seems to disable itself when the Beocenter is put to standby.

Also. If anyone has ideas about how to match the two pieces (BC 2300 and BL 3) better than just hooking them up it would be highly appreciated!

Thanks!

I had the BC2300 with the Lab 2 and Lab3 so I can't say if it is a bad match. Loved mine.

 

When you make sound adjustments you need to hit "store", it might been a different key - it has been a bit. Just follow the instructions in the manual how to adjust the default volume etc.

Cheers

Thanks for answering guys.

I should have clarified, I do not have the manual at hand.

Bass and treble levels are set to mid.

Thanks,

Jesper

What positions are the 'position' switches on the BeoLab 3's ?  Try setting them to 'free' and let us know what you think.

I think the button is set not store. It will keep the loudness. Just play with sound vlume and set and see how you can modify the standard settings.

 

I have to shill, we do have the manuals online here for gold and silver rmembers.

 

Cheers
