Troubleshooting Beolab 1 static
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 3, 2016 00:50My pleasure. I'd add the difference against the other speaker in the pair (that has no faults per se) is really, really audible. Enough to justify recapping the PCBs - something I might look into shortly. I run mine off …

Troubleshooting Beolab 1 static
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 2, 2016 15:33I though I'd provide an update for anyone interested - the speaker was fixed easily in the end. The culprit was one bad capacitor. A few were replaced, and now side-by-side with the second speaker in the pair this one's …
Troubleshooting Beolab 1 static
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 29, 2016 04:57More clues! It'll still play music OK, just with this rustling noise as well. The local B&O shop estimates A$1300 to ship the board back to Denmark for repair, which hurts - this has to be a component failure! Any help a…
Troubleshooting Beolab 1 static
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 29, 2016 02:11Hi all, hoping someone can help. Woke up this morning to find one of our Beolab 1's turned on (green light) with a kind of 'rustling static' noise coming out of it. It makes this noise whether or not there is a source co…
Where can I get decent foam surrounds for Pentas
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2014 21:06Fred, there's nothing special about the speaker size - they're certainly standard-sized foams. Whether they're mounted above of below the driver really doesn't matter. I think above is aesthetically better as we're mount…
Which capacitors and where to get them?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 7, 2012 17:29Dillen was my first stop; I was told that the kit was being upgraded and is currently not available... hence the route I took. Thankfully this Beoworld community is sufficiently big that there are multiple options for an…
Great sales experience with Leslie
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 6, 2012 10:11Just a quick note - mods can move this wherever it belongs. Had been looking for a 4500CD and some Beovox 4500 for a while. Send an email out to Leslie initially just out of interest - didn't think that anything sent fro…
Which capacitors and where to get them?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 6, 2012 09:59Right - done! Many thanks to egoh for assisting here with his own experiences. Ended up mixing PulseX (3%), Dayton 5% (on the biggest values) and Dayton Precision (1%). Resistors are Mundorf 10W (2% parts; 1.8ohm to be r…
Which capacitors and where to get them?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 4, 2012 22:00No problems! Send one on, I've got time to rebuild these in the next few weeks, keen to get started. Penta 2's. Currently just looking at replacing everything with poly versions of what's there. Looking at Jensen Crossca…
Which capacitors and where to get them?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 4, 2012 21:45All - help! About to rebuild my Penta crossovers - was told to go get some Audyn capacitors - which range? On paper the Audyn Q4 range should outperform the original units - am I wrong? What are people using/what's recom…
CX100 replacement drives
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 10, 2012 16:15Can only echo the last two comments: foam material is tricky to get right, as are foams that actually fit. I started out a skeptic about reshimming and the Dutch foams alike (still have them here) and ended up getting di…
Does anyone have Thiele/Smal parameters for the Penta midranges?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 10, 2012 16:03Jeff, what an awesome bit of kit. Failing a few leads I'm going to give this a try. Many thanks.
Does anyone have Thiele/Smal parameters for the Penta midranges?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 4, 2012 04:17Does anyone have Thiele/Small parameters for the Penta midranges? I'm investigating putting together a recone kit for these for a small project.
Really silly Penta question, hope someone can help

Where can I get decent foam surrounds for Pentas
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 4, 2012 02:42Of interest, two more photos showing shimming. The Penta midrange with the dustcap cut out (this one was in pretty good condition to start with - no contact/misalignment). The small imperfections on the former (the metal…
Really silly Penta question, hope someone can help
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 3, 2012 01:23What's the best way to orient the mid/tweeter 'panels'? Facing same direction, tweeters 'in', tweeters 'out', ideas?
Where can I get decent foam surrounds for Pentas
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 30, 2012 00:59[quote user="Søren Mexico"] [quote user="GTS"]Did the Penta 2 set similarly. It's so easy and effective, I'm not likely to not shim ever again.[/quote] We love pics, good job- [/quote] Sure. Here is a brief problem defin…
Where can I get decent foam surrounds for Pentas
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 29, 2012 08:21More latest. Bear in mind I have a pair of Penta 3 that were professionally refoamed and are well run in as a benchmark. So the process is run one speaker at a time, compare to a Penta 3, etc... Put the Penta 2 back toge…
Where can I get decent foam surrounds for Pentas
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 28, 2012 04:18Give me a few days - I've got two more of these to do - my housemate spilled red wine on the last two foams (!) and having doubts about their structural integrity from there, I've got a few more coming via mail. I'll tak…
