3D printed CX100 and CX50 grille frame replacements
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 15, 2021 23:41Just a heads up for anyone with cracked or broken CX100 or CX50 grille frames. Two years ago I received a pair of CX100s from eBay that had brittle/broken grille frames, and needed new cloth anyway. I have a good 3D prin…
Beocenter 9500 no sound at low volumes
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 15, 2021 00:00Thanks for the offer to help. I think my post wasn't clear. I wasn't planning to do any calibration on the laser/pickup. My concern was that moving the mechanism out of the way to access the PCB might cause it to get out…
Beocenter 9500 no sound at low volumes
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 9, 2021 20:00Ok, I did some more testing and I'm pretty sure it's the relay so I ordered one (G2R-2-DC6). I skimmed the manual and found the advice for accessing this particular PCB. I have lifted it and tilted the unit out (with the…
Beocenter 9500 no sound at low volumes
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 8, 2021 00:15I recently bought a really nice Beocenter 9500 with a pair of mint brushed aluminum CX100s. I was really only trying to get the speakers but the seller thought it would be hard to sell the 9500 separately so I made a dea…
Beomaster 4500
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 25, 2015 04:28Sorry, the glass panel part has all been fixed! The most recent issues are that the FM tuner isn't picking up stations (AM works) even with the proper antennas, and the AUX to RCA input doesn't seem to work. I've got a m…
Beomaster 4500
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 23, 2015 04:59Two more things: I've got the 4500 set up with my refurbished CX100s and they sound great together, and it's pretty compact. Now, I just tried to use other sources besides the 4500 CD and had some issues. The Beomaster 4…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 15, 2015 19:56You're right, it's actually fine. I didn't realize the green indicators were buttons too :) Thanks!
Beomaster 4500
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 15, 2015 19:25I managed to find another (minty) Beomaster 4500 on ebay for $120 that was great except for loose glass (that I fixed). Now that I've started using it, I noticed a second problem. I can adjust the bass/treble/loudness ju…
CX100 removing drivers
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 12, 2015 02:12Quick question, what wire gauge do people use to connect the CX100s to a receiver? My speakers didn't come with cables so I bought some female DIN connectors to make up some cables, but the screw terminals inside these c…
CX100 removing drivers
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 21, 2015 21:47The CX range was produced for almost 20 years so I'd imagine there were some changes in the build process over the years which would explain the difference in connections. I think I will put in inline connectors since I'…
CX100 removing drivers
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 21, 2015 18:54I purchased a pair of very nice bare aluminum(?) CX100s yesterday for $100. The seller said the foam was rotten and so I knew this going in and was looking forward to a project. I've ordered new foam and grille cloth and…
Beomaster 4500
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 23, 2015 07:01Bad news. I took the Beomaster 4500 to a guy that was semi-retired and used to do warranty work for B&O. He seemed like he knew what he was doing, but a full month went by and I had to keep calling (once a week) to find …
Beomaster 4500
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 24, 2015 21:20Anyone happen to have recommendations for service in the Seattle area? I called Northwest Audio Service which was highly recommended but that guy no longer services B&O. Should I trust anyone willing to work on it who ha…
Beomaster 4500
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 23, 2015 18:55I have two partial Beosystem 4500s that I purchased used in the early 2000s. I have never had a good place to set them up, and didn't have speakers for them, so they have been stored away in boxes for quite a while. Rece…
