Hi Esax,

Have You experienced the same as me with much lower BASS-response with the new software 3.0.0.0527?

Have experienced other problems than the "BASS" problem?

Best Regards
Martin

I just want to say I experience more bass. I have turned it down from two plus to zero in my beovision. My friends who listened to them both yesterday and the day before also like the sound. I guess maybe it’s a new calibration that would be helpful your you people who experience a lack of bass perhaps?

For me they sound good now anyway. Sorry to see not everyone has the same experience. But I’m hoping that it will be resolved.

I’m going to get a microphone soon so I can start doing calibrations for my house.

My guess:

There are quite a few beolab 50 for sale. I would think that many have complained that it is not possible to use them without neighbors being disturbed. It feels like B&O has changed the base due to that.

The sound also changed in my setup - to less bass. A bit surprising - did Geoff get new ears? 😮

I've been listening to them for a while. The punch is gone and also the sub bass.

Maybe my neighbours like them, I don’t.

Have any of you retuned them with the mic?

I lost my setting pre sw upgrade, then upgraded sw and then re tuned them and they sound bloody fantastic. Even more so than before and the punch is still there, so maybe it’s the “old” tuning file with the new sw that makes it sound extra different? Just a thought.

I have not. The sound is so much improved from the update I have seen no need to, although I am a bit curious if I would notice a difference so I may do it.

Have tried - find I have to use the ‘BL5 sound design’ to get sufficient bass. May have to try a few more times.
