My Beomaster is getting very warm in standby.

3 replies

I have just moved thing around a little and noticed how warm the heatsink is on my 7000 even though it hasn’t been used for 2 days. It is just left in standby.  I have never noticed this before. Am I going to be faced with losing my beloved soon or worse even?

’feeling worried.

Most likely a bad power supply relay, causing the amplifier to stay on permanently.
Could also be a problem in the relay control circuits or a dying rectifier and/or filter capacitor in the low-voltage power supplies.

Thank you for your comments Martin. Just to add..... 2 hours later and it’s all gone cool! It performs exactly as it should, there is no issue there. Could it be a faulty busbar feeding all 5 units? Beosystem 7000 and a R2R. Additionally on the PowerPoint is one Beolab 50.
