in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 16, 2011 16:30Hi Ray, Welcome to the forum! I've sent you an email to advise on how to adjust the volume levels of your Beolab 5's, also how to calibrate your AV receiver. Beolab 5's can overwhelm smaller speakers in surround sound sy…
Beolab3 - RCA/PL adapter and Line switch
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 9, 2011 13:23Hi js, I don't think that B&O have a product that will work as an adapter in this situation with your existing cables. As Beolab 3's need careful grounding to prevent induced noise reaching the digital amps, I would advi…

in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 21, 2011 11:46Hi Lars, Sorry for the slow reply. You need the Line in cables for Beolab speakers to connect the Beolab 3's and 5's to your AV receiver. The Beolab 5's need to be switched on with a Beo4, as they won't automatically swi…

Help please! How to connect Beolab 5s and 3s to AV Receiver Yamaha RX-V1071
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 17, 2011 12:48Hello Lars, The Sync cable is not a standard minijack cable, it is a specially wired version. I have these available if you need one. It is worth noting that use of this cable requires the Sync function to be enabled on …
Help please! How to connect Beolab 5s and 3s to AV Receiver Yamaha RX-V1071
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 15, 2011 11:10Hello Lars, Welcome to the forum! Beolab 3's have power amps built in, whereas Beolab 5's have both pre AND power amps built in. Hence, you can use Beolab 5 on Line Out (fixed volume) outputs from your receiver and contr…
Designer David Lewis has passed away
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 12, 2011 05:58David was a true genius, a man who many of us in the industry have looked up to and admired for his decades of inspirational work. I think his ideas have shaped Bang & Olufsen more than those of any other individual. My …
Audio with BL9: Better on BS9000 or BV10-40?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 27, 2011 14:19Hi Edouard, I think that the extra bass and different sound from the BV10-40 could be due to the audio processing when listening to Dolby-encoded surround sound movies. Each audio format seems to have slightly different …
20m Masterlink Cable
in Wanted · Oct 27, 2011 14:12Hi, If you don't find anyone with spare lengths to give away, I can build any lengths for you from 0.1m up to 100m, either with or without plugs. As I would need to charge for this, I'm guessing that you will want to wai…

Bluetooth & Beocenter 2300/2500 strange behaviour
in BeoApp · Aug 23, 2011 17:07Hi, This is a puzzling problem! The first thing to say is that you should not get any grounding problems with the lead from the Bluetooth receiver to the 2300, so I would suggest changing this (although this won't solve …
Beolab 3500 active speaker HELP!!!!!!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 20, 2011 16:04Hi Monkab, There is no difference in sound quality between the RCA and the Powerlink inputs (at least to my ears anyway!). The main difference between these is that the Powerlink input is meant for use with a B&O system …
Beolab 3500 active speaker HELP!!!!!!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 20, 2011 08:30Yes, its mono, so ideal as a centre speaker! The only issue is that the tweeter is slightly offset from the middle of the speaker when it is hung horizontally...... (as is the centre of balance, due to the power supply b…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 20, 2011 06:34I know this is a little off-topic, but I had a spare Beolab 6000 lying around, so I've fitted it with a Beolab 3500 wall bracket, relocated the wiring to the centre of the column and added an extra end cap (where the bas…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 16, 2011 15:13Hi Jonnie, Peter is quite right - virtually ANY speaker can be used with your Beosound 2300. Active speakers can normally be connected directly (with the right cable) and the cable that Peter linked to on my site allows …
