BeoLab 2 Crossover question (setup switch)
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 25, 2020 20:31When I had a BL2 and BL8000s, I did some tests and verification (RTA) during set up. The wall, free, corner only adjust some notching filters, not the output cutoff. 1,2,3 switch simply adjusts the relative volume, not t…
BeoVision 7-32 stand and sound bar with modern tv?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 20, 2019 16:33STBbrackets. I had them create a custom VESA mounting plate to mate a LG 55 OLED to a 7-32 stand (motor does not work of course). Looks great.
Mean price for second hand Beolab 9?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 13, 2019 21:20I have one of the last runs Beolab 9 2015. Fantastic. Far as I know there is no real revisions with them apart from later models available in different coloured fabric fronts. They're completely analogue so there's not m…
Beolab 2 Even when played at full volume I can just about hear it.
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 9, 2019 14:50BL2 should be quite noticeable, I used to have one paired with BL8000 as you have. Ideally a sub should simply 'support' the mains and not draw attention. But the BL2 has limited controls so a bit of trial and error. Set…
Beoplay H9 - can't use mic and headphones at the same time
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 23, 2019 21:12Maybe something to do with how the PC pairs its BT. Pairing my H8 to my phone no problem, I can receive a call, answer it, and have two way voice. Once done, it goes right back to music. Never tried pairing it to a compu…
Eclipse V 2?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 3, 2019 21:57I would have expected this eventually. b&o stock of C7 (custom) panels has finally run out and they need to get another run of the current panels made today - C9. Any consumer television manufacturer makes a run of a cer…
What is going on with B&O’s current TV lineup?
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 5, 2019 21:43[quote user="Millemissen"] Now where do you see the (big) difference/s in the C7 and the C8 panel of the LG part - and a real need for an exchange? [/quote] Not to pick on you, but the thing is LG like most mass consumer…
Dect phones unsafe for you? Affecting your health
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 25, 2019 15:56Oh man, this sounds similar to the fear years back about mobile phones' risky use at gas stations. I little knowledge of RF and the concern is clearly overblown - there far worse things. ISM band "wifi" runs at 2400-2475…
Beosystem 4 and LG OLED65 display
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 15, 2019 15:36I don't have the most recent LG OLED but the IR codes I would imagine have not changed. Yes their official remotes use a proprietary bluetooth remote, they still have IR receiver. Even an old LG IR remote does work with …
BeoLab 6000 and Yamaha WXC-50 - any advice or alternatives?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 18, 2019 20:05As noted above, the WXC-50 can be set to pre-out (volume controlled). Also it has a handy 12v trigger output, with the correct adapter cable, you can have triggered "powerlink" to your BL6000s.
Need recommendation: Non-B&O TV connect to Moment/BL18/19?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 6, 2019 21:36[quote user="mbolo01"] The Moment is not good for what you want to achieve... [/quote] Have to agree, for a time I was considering buying a Moment (back when they were still current but buggy) and the integration with no…
Beolab 2 resonance
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 15, 2018 02:00As suggested, is it the BL2 or your room, I'm going to immediately assume it is the room. I had a BL2 and because of its strong sub output (I would hope so) I recall the room responded at something like 80 and 40hz. Even…
Beolab 90 and MQA
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 6, 2018 18:23Isn't MQA just a weird upsampling lossy codec? So then it doesn't matter so long as the streamer and BL90 support the digital bit rate and depth, for example 44/16 or 96/24. No different to low bit rate 128k MP3 playing …
moving to Europe from USA, converting Beolabs?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 17, 2018 14:09[quote user="macjonny1"] Thanks for the note it sounds like shipping and any mods/transformers wouldn't be worth the trouble. [/quote] If I were you, I'd sell them and just buy them locally when you're there. B&O in Nort…
Wireless 1
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 15, 2018 16:39[quote user="elephant"]and so I have 3x2.4GHz on channels 10, 8, and 4. One neighbour is using 8 and the others don't overlap. [/quote] You are causing overlap for yourself and your neighbour(s). Only 1,6,11 don't overla…
S8 connection hub and LG oled
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 13, 2018 18:59[quote user="trackbeo"]OT, David, but I actually wondered (and never had the time to test): Is Emil *technically* correct, i.e. is the remote issuing *only* RF commands like always, and no IR mode exists in the remote [/…
S8 connection hub and LG oled
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 12, 2018 18:23[quote user="trackbeo"]Nor am I 100% certain, but the Magic Remote definitely *can* do IR. [/quote] Yes that was me, the LG "magic remote" does defiantly output IR if you fake a receiver in TV menus as stated. The TV con…
BeoLab 1 moving from Sweden to USA: 240v to 110v
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 8, 2018 19:22I always thought that the BL1 had the same basic electronic chassis as the BL9, which would make them worldwide 100-240v capable? Check on the rear if that's true, if so a simple power cord change is all that might be ne…
H9i drains iPhone X battery
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 10, 2018 18:58I have an iphone x and H8. Personally I don't notice any difference in battery when using BT or simply nothing. But I do feel the battery on the X is much worse than the 6 I had prior. What does use lots of battery (at l…
Can we say the beolab 9 is second best beolab in old beolab?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 9, 2018 15:47I'd also say yes but I am tad biased that I own a pair of BL9👍 For a full range loudspeaker from B&O there's really only the BL9 and 5 of the 'old' series.
