Using the beam control setting within a sound mode (not within the settings/configuration portion of the app) would frequently cause the app to lock up if adjustments were made.

Yes, I have tried the Beolab 5 setting. I use that mode probably 50% of the time.

As you have 50s, perhaps you could tell me if my memory is correct. When turning on music,

I thought the tweeters rose before the music started. After the update, the music starts and then the tweeter rise. Maybe I am remembering wrong and that is the way they always worked.
They rise before via my harmony the rise while playing theough the beogram 🤷🏼‍♂️

So i guess it depends on when they sense the signal
Mine now rise after they start playing both from the BV7 and from the Core.

Speaking about this. I realized my tweeter is not perfectly centered. Not the speaker itself but the lens that moves up and down is a little more leaning towards the left side of each speaker. It has been driving me nuts.

I saw my friends beolab 50 yesterday and they were the same so I guess it’s a design issue. How does your look when turned off? Is the gap between the circle perfect or tighter at one side?

I had never noticed that, but I would say yes. If I look very closely, a vey slight lean towards the left.

BL50 bug fixes for the below are provided in 3..0.0.444

- Speakers are losing connection to each other 
- Distance, Level, and Role not working 
- Auto-calibrate does not work 

Hi,

 

There is also a 3.1 software out for Beolab 50. I wrote to B&O support and asked for the new software. One our later I got first 3.00 and after that update I got 3.1 update.

My impression is that You now can start and put the speakers in standby with Beoremote one or the B&O-app.

What I also noticed is that with those calibrations I have made with the old software (2.3.4.7045) the BASS is lighter with the new software than with the old software. There really is a difference.

I have also had some trouble with the new software were the speakers lost all of the calibrations I have made. I have then to make new calibrations again. So the new software is maybe better in some terms but there are new bugs. I have never before experienced that the speakers lost some calibrations.

Ah, you know... A little B&O here, a little there

Does this mean one should connect the microphone and do the calibration again with the new software?

Hi,

I think something happend to my speakers that should NOT happen. At first after the update the calibrations was there. Then I tried to change a calibration to a preset (using the APP) and suddenly all calibrations dissapeared. So, YES there is some bug and You might need to re-calibrate the speakers after the update.

My 50s have been working flawlessly since I updated them. Maybe I will hold off on the two newer version 3 updates. They have sounded even better after the update.
