Retro-fitting DSP to classic Beolab speakers?

12 replies

Hi Steve,

I really appreciated your insights on adding DSP. My setup is a BV 7-40 mkIV with BL 7.4, Sonus faber Concerto fronts and BL 4000 rears, plus Apple TV 4k. After watching your video I wondered if I could use a miniDSP nanoAVR DL (https://www.minidsp.com/products/ht-series/nanoavr-dl) to connect  the ATV and internal Blu-ray player to the BeoSystem 3 in the BeoVision. If it worked it should allow me to have reasonably inexpensive room correction for movies and music.

Any advice on feasibility would be appreciated.

Regards, Daniel

 

Hi Daniel,

Glad you liked the video!  I haven't used MiniDSP myself, but it should be possible to connect this between the Powerlink outputs of the Beosystem 3 and the speakers to manage the sound.  If you decide to go ahead, please let me know and I can help with cables to get everything connected.

I will be interested to hear how you get on!

Kind regards, Steve.
