Beovision 6 stand reduce height

[Madskp]

Does anyone know if it is possible to reduce the height of a Beovision 6 stand? Is it at all possible?

I guess it would involve some metal cutting in the bottom of the pole, but what about the attachment of the pole to the rotating mechanism?

Thanks in advance

The metal of the pole is a constant cross section and if I recall correctly there are four screws that go into the pole from the base vertically from below.  With a very neat (accurate) cut this should be very achievable.  I assume that you need somewhere between table stand and floor stand height?

EDIT2:  I think (not 100% sure) that the screws are self-tappers hence no need to make a new internal thread in the pole.

EDIT: Zoom in on the one that is missing its pole and you will see the screw holes:

Thanks for that.

I am thinking about a 10-20cm reduction to make it usable under an angled roof.

Great if the screw situation is not a problem. I will try to disassemble and look into it

When upside down you will see an opening (hole), possibly covered by a sticker. Rotate the stand on its base until the hole lines up with the pole and you will see the four screws. As you can see in my photo, there is usually a DIN connecter within the pole to lengthen the motor control cable for the floor stands.

My photo was from a job lots of 5 stands (plus wall mount) that I bought from ‘cashconverters’ for about £40. The 5th stand was for a BV10-32 which was all I wanted, so I sold all the others, got a ‘free’ BV10 stand and made a small profit!

Great info when tI’m going to take it appart.

Yeah sometimes you can be lucky. My BV6 stand only cost  me 10€ in a trift store and it have som scractches in the big round plate so no gonna cry if this is not going to end up well

Ok so I got it disassembled. Pretty easy when using your instructions.

But I can see that even though the cross section is the same in the entire lenght of the pole the threaded holes is only about an inch deep and stops where a reces is cut into the cross section

So in order to cut down the lenght of it new holes will have to be drilled and threaded at the place where it is cut.

This would require some drilling equipment that I do not have, so I guess this will not be the way to go.

The reason for investegating this option was that I have the stand and might as well use it if possible. However I might look into other placement options, and/or maybe the smaller BC6-23 as an option

That’s a shame.  But a good exercise in Beovision stand disassembly!

How about trying to find a BV6-26 table stand, Type Number 4092? That’s significantly shorter.

Ok I was not aware that existed. Haven’t found any pictures of it (or sales adds for that matter)

Thought that the only table stand for the BV6 was the non rotation one with the raised feets.

Have a look on the back of the BV26 Service Manual. This has diagrams of all the stand options with Type numbers. However, I can’t recall ever seeing one in person!

EDIT: I am pretty sure that the same table stand is used for the BV7-32. It has attachment holes for the Beolab bracket, although I think these are covered when the BV6-26 is mounted.

Yes I found that diagram when you first posted the type number. But might not have been a very used stand option judging by the lack of pictures of this setup type.

That might also be an option. Was not sure about the BV6 would be the  covering the Beolab bracket holes though.

Hi Madskp, hi Guy, the BC6-26 does just not cover the BeoLab bracket cavity. It is very unobtrusive though. See below image of my 6-26 on a BV7 motorized stand. I sat on the floor taking the picture.

Hopr this helps, J.

Great picture to show this, thanks ?

And I guess that on a table stand it would be even less noticable.
