Beolab 4000 -- hiss from speaker
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 12, 2021 13:41Can't be this simple? I opened up the speaker and noticed that there's a small metal strip of copper under the center screw located under the bottom of the aluminum plate. This strip is held in place by one of the fasten…

in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 9, 2021 18:25Hi all, I have a pair of MkI Bl4000 that have worked perfectly. One of them now gives a low hiss (static noise) when on (connected to a Beosound 3000). Does the same when not connected. Have tried switching Beolink conne…
How to remove plinth on Beogram 4000?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 24, 2017 13:24Thank you very much, Peter. I came across an excellently maintained Bg4000 and couldn't resist, particularly as I have a donor unit for spares. You're too kind!
How to remove plinth on Beogram 4000?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 24, 2017 11:40I came across a very nice Beogram 4000. I have another "donor-unit" that has a very nice palisander plinth and want to put this on the new player. It's straightforward to unscrew the fasteners, but the plinth is "stuck" …

Beolab 90
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 7, 2015 11:15The form of the BL5s was dictated by the sound reproduction goals and requirements, from top to bottom. Traditional "monkey coffin" loudspeakers have made us expect that form/function when judging new speakers. But throu…

Beolab 5: VRMS, confused
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 17, 2015 23:13Either set the volume at max, and then use an attenuator that halves the output level from your RCA out connectors on the preamp. Or don't have the volume knob over 50%. Here's what an attenuator does: http://www.rothwel…

B&O actively searching a buyer...
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 29, 2015 12:00B&O has done a very bad job of telling their brand story to the world. Failing to get this right has resulted in almost non-existent recruitment of new customers to the brand together with a loss of the added value that …

Awkward....
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 22, 2014 22:09No. They originally used Beo plus a descriptor in lowercase - Beoxxxxx. In the early 1990s they changed to BeoXxxxxx. Just wasn't certain about the year.
