Beomaster 1600 (1980) Type 1703 Repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 11, 2016 18:41Hi Jaime, Actually, I haven't touched by BM 1600 in over a year. Picked up a twin unit about year ago but never delved into switching the parts over to the better one. Now that winter is upon us and the weather for worki…
Beosystem 7000 Question
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 14, 2013 01:48Thanks MediaBob, I found a few pages with info on the AV 7000 and it looks like I'd need an amp hooked up between the AV 7000 and the Beovox speakers which sort of defeats the purpose for me. Currently I am running a BM …
Beosystem 7000 Question
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 14, 2013 00:00Awesome! So now I have a few more questions... what is the difference between the AV 7000 and the BM 7000? Would one be more suited to hooking up to my iMac and Beovox speakers than the other? Also, it looks like the AV …

Beosystem 7000 Question
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 13, 2013 22:26After spending months buried in my school work, I finally have time to finish putting together the audio systems in my apartment. I have been sitting on a Beomaster 1600 (1980) for many months that has an off button issu…
Beomaster 1600 (1980) Type 1703 Repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 5, 2013 16:12Martin, There is definitely space between the undersides of the aluminum buttons and the square switch heads. I would guess (without taking it apart again) that the space is about 50-75mm. The problem appears to be that …
Beomaster 1600 (1980) Type 1703 Repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 2, 2013 16:02Well, I received the unit and attempted the spring fix. After loosing the spring for a brief period of time (talk about nerve-racking!) I was able to try the fix Martin suggested. The problem has persisted though.... Her…
Incorporating beautiful design in the era of digital music
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 25, 2013 16:37MM, Great points! I guess what I was getting at is that I'd like to see something more innovative using Airplay/Airfoil. As for the line-in on the Beosound 5.... for that amount of money I would hope to see something nic…
Incorporating beautiful design in the era of digital music
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 25, 2013 15:34WIthout telling the fine individuals in Struer how to do their jobs, I think the Beosound 5 was the complete wrong direction. Five years ago it would have been advanced but the user experience is clunky and is not a part…
Beovox S45.2 vs. Beovox S-45
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 23, 2013 23:23Piaf, I think this is a very healthy discussion and I am finding all the points valid. One other thing I might add is that the mids are much more apparent in the original 6302 than the 6427s. I'm sure most on here would …

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 23, 2013 23:16Double thanks, Martin! Sounds like a simple enough repair and I'll make sure to post pictures of what I do. I suspect the unit will also need a good cleaning upon arrival. Wade
Beomaster 1600 (1980) Type 1703 Repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 23, 2013 17:33Thanks, Martin! I will check those items as soon as it arrives and post whether or not any of those are the issue. Out of curiosity, where would I buy a replacement spring? Wade P.S. You are such a valuable resource here…
Beomaster 1600 (1980) Type 1703 Repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 23, 2013 16:34Hi all, I just picked up a 1980 Beomaster 1600 on eBay for what seemed like a reasonable amount. Until now I have had BM 2400s and have been quite happy. The unit I purchased, according to the seller, has buttons that do…
Beovox S45.2 vs. Beovox S-45
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 23, 2013 16:26I started out with a set of type 6302 S-45's (the earliest style) and recently picked up a set of type 6427 (the later early 1980s style with the split front). The type 6302 and 6312 have three components and the 6427s o…
New products in the next 6-12 months
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 14, 2013 15:10I had a listen to the new H6 headphones a few weeks ago in the NYC Flatiron shop and was told that the shipment was en route from Denmark. While they still are not listed on the online store, I am very excited to get my …
Beolit 1000 Restoration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 11, 2013 19:32I second Peter. I have dealt with Atlantic Systems multiple times with both Beomaster 2400s (yes, I have multiples) as well as Form 2 Headphone cord replacement. In each instance they proved more than competent and the w…
S45 Type 6427 Whoops...
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 31, 2013 22:20Martin, You are a life saver! If you could give me a price I'd be interested in doing it. It would be terrible to let these speakers sit idle. I presume you could glue the magnet so it doesn't move in its trans-Atlantic …
S45 Type 6427 Whoops...
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 31, 2013 20:38As another alternative, I see that I might be able to retrofit these woofers from S30s http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bang-Olufsen-B-O-Beovox-S30-Woofers-Part-8480152-/230990454921?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item35c81aa089
S45 Type 6427 Whoops...
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 31, 2013 20:31Hi Guys, So long story short I picked up some S45 Type 6427 speakers for around $75 (US) shipped and knew that they would have to be refoamed. Unfortunately USPS dropped them and the one had a magnet issue. I mistakenly …
