Mac / beolab 18/19 full fat hook-up
in Other · May 18, 2018 00:07I ditched my Beolab T1 for the same reason. WISA is not reliable....I went to great lengths to "make it work" with no success. I even got the WISA boards straight from the manufacturer(that supplies B&O as well) thinking…
How to connect a 5.1 (Beolab 17) to my mac? Is there a powerlink ethernet hub?
in Other · May 17, 2018 23:36Hi, How can I connect my 5.1 (5 x beolab 17 , 1 x beolab 19) to my mac using digital connections only ? Currently I'm using an AVR(HDMI out into the AVR) and use the pre-outs to connect via RCA to the speakers. Given tha…
Beolab 14 as ceiling speakers?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 31, 2016 17:38Hi, I have 4 x beolab 17 and a Beolab 19. Beolab 15 is able to handle only frequencies above 130 Hz so my concern is that Beolab 19 would not be able to hande well 130Hz and even if would do the sound would be localized.…
Beolab 14 as ceiling speakers?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 31, 2016 15:31Any idea if it's possible to set-up beolab 16 somehow just to augment the pair of beolab 15? I see that beolab 15 range ends at 130Hz which I think would be localized if it's redirected to the main subwoofer.
Beolab 14 as ceiling speakers?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 23, 2016 15:18The manual says that the receiver/T1 must have line of sight. How do you aconplish that if the receiver 1 (I assume)is in the ceiling ?
Beolab 14 as ceiling speakers?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 23, 2016 00:14Thanks for the heads up. Indeed the amp is built-in the subwoofer not the satellites. I guess I have to just wait for some active/wisa ceiling speakers for a while...
Beolab 14 as ceiling speakers?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 22, 2016 15:30I'm considering a pair of Beolab 14 satellites as rear ceiling speakers(+ receiver 1 to make them wisa) in a 5.1.2 set-up for dolby atoms / dts:x. They are great because of the builtin amp and there is no need to make wh…
Beolab 17 vs Beolab 10 as center speaker
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 22, 2016 15:00They need an Amplifier1 and along with the receivers and wholes in the wall they are a bit too much for me. I would rather prefer Beolab 14 which are active and don't require wholes in the wall. I will create a new threa…
Can I use beolab transmitter 1 in a dobly atmos set-up?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 22, 2016 14:43Seems are right! If you have enough Beolab T1s in theory you can each up to 72 sound channels(each country seems to have about 9 channels available on the 5Ghz band).
How to debug Beolab Transmitter1 / Beolab 17
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 22, 2016 14:29I've got the 2nd pair of Beolab 17 and I experience the same issue so it must be Beolab Transmitter 1 faulty. I will run few more tests before to send it into service. Beolab Transmitter 1 is placed just above the a/v re…
How to debug Beolab Transmitter1 / Beolab 17
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 17, 2016 16:43Not yet! I'm still waiting for the 2nd pair of beolab 17. Apparently it takes longer than expected as the dealer is waiting for the wall brackets from B&O.
Beolab 10: Should I remove this sponge below the acoustic lenses?

Beolab 10: Should I remove this sponge below the acoustic lenses?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 15, 2016 04:26I've got a brand new Beolab 10 and I'm wondering if I should remove the stuff below the accoustic lenses. There seems to be a bing piece of sponge in front and two smaller behind it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/00fdlqdf5qw…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 7, 2016 12:50I guess I stick to Beolab 10 for now...

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 6, 2016 20:57I can't agree more! Personally I got stuck with an LG OLED TV( B&O still doesn't have an OLED or HDMI 2.2) so a center speaker is imperative. Recently I've purchased a beolab 10 but I would have preferred a WISA speaker …

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 6, 2016 19:29I'm wonderinf if this could be used as center speaker (i.e replacing beolab 10)
How to debug Beolab Transmitter1 / Beolab 17
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 4, 2016 17:46@Tifoso48 I've got the cables from B&O but the issue is still there though a bit different which might be due the cables: Instead to play very low and distorted it has a strong background noise. It seems the a/v receiver…
How to debug Beolab Transmitter1 / Beolab 17
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 2, 2016 18:56Hi Tifoso48! Thanks a lot for the research! You are right that I've connected the RCAs from the receiver to R/L RCA input on the back of the T 1. I've read the T1 manual twice but it seems I missed this. I didn't have rj…
Beolab 17 vs Beolab 10 as center speaker
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 1, 2016 14:05I'm working on a 5.1.2 surround system. So far I have two pairs of beolab 17 and one beolab 11. I didn't decide the ceiling speakers yet. I previously had a pair of beolab 18 too but I sold it to get the second pair of b…
How to debug Beolab Transmitter1 / Beolab 17
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 1, 2016 10:18The cables are RCA(Hamma brand) at both ends as I currently have only two speakers. They are connected to the pre-outs of the Marantz. I'm confident that Beolab Transmitter is set up properly because sometimes it works f…
