Wanted modification for Beolab 1

9 replies

Hello!

I found a modification for the Beolab 1 made by Glenn Guillot (Beo Tech) its a 3steps guide.

http://www.beoworld.org/beotech/beolab1.htm

The problem is that there is only part 1 & 2. Part 3 is missing.

Where can I find this Glenn Guillot? I would like to do this modification, but I need part 3.

 

Have you guys try this mod, and does it work good?

 

 

 

 

179 views and still no luck to find Glenn Guillot. 

If you guys have a smallest hint, let me now :)

 

Double post

G'day, i've done this modification (the improvements in sound are subtle, and possibly psychosomatic), what parts of the modification have you done already? It will refresh my memory. :)

Ah! There was no Part 3 :)

 

Add a beolab 2, mate :)

Did you already tried part 1 and 2?

I tried part 1 and iT really didn't make a lot of a difference.

Adding a receiver with room correction XT32 audessey did a lot more for me.

But I'm curious for part 2.

 

oh..... And there is no such thing as part 3.

I have not tried any modification yet. 

Glenn Guillot says: Stay tuned for modifications Part III ;)

Thats why i haven't tried it, and I still have warranty on the speakers.

Desmo: Part 1 didn`t do much? thats to bad :( Glenn maybe didn`t do any part 3, its that what you mean?

Yep.

 

and changing The pots is audible, But it's not really doing good, because you are changing a whole range, not doing room correction, or finetuning The sound. The beolab 1 are actually very good, But they are really hard to setup, because they have a very small sweetspot and you end up with a out of phase sound.

try to download a audio sample for a phase test and make sure it's right. Thats making a whole lot of improvement.

Okey :)

I have tried som audiotest, but i have also moved the speaker and now they play much better.

The bass i deeper and the midrange sound really good now :) its almost like a new speaker!

 

thank you! Case closed ;)
