ModeratorUm I don’t know what bluetooth really has to do with the battery?
Nothing, just that those two speakers are used as still speaker and placed where they cannot have a power cord. I already had to find tricks to hide the Airplay brick but the two speaker still rely on their batteries to work and requires being charged like twice a month (not working daily).
Location: Paris FranceMy problem is that I have a 6-year old A6 in the bedroom and a P6 , couple of P2s and an A2 all minty good condition in storage box somewhere doing very little.
It’s all said, you are just not a Bluetooth guy! I have A1 an A2 but booth feed with an Airport express. Quite convenient in terms of placing but not that much when it comes to power.
Location: Paris FranceSeen that on my very smart cell phone…
Location: Paris Francebut the styling really doesn’t do anything for me.
I agree it is a little bit to much “hippie” looking.
Location: Paris FranceFrom the pictures I find it nice (I always have loved the Beolit 12 form factor and thought it dis loose something by going bluetooth only…). I rather the nordic wave version but I should change when seeing them in real.
But the pictures with the designers holding it over the shoulder like an old gettoblaster is… Too much cheesy!
Location: Paris FranceHi enrob,
It was there a spamGPT answer that point to a faulty ribbon cable and warning you to be careful when opening the device to check this part.
I mention this because this is not totally dumb. Nevertheless I believe those answer are as useful as a picture of the Pope in white puffy jacket running away from the police.
You’ve already explore the old forums so you may already know most of what wiz know on this common issue, most digitizers ends up developing a touch fault. Sometimes its the ribbon cable but sometimes it’s not. Think someone explored another track on this but I dont remember he found a solution.
Good luck.
Location: Paris FrancePretty amazing for the size
Sorry it ends up on you, but I’ve always found this is the silliest, most useless and still most used argument to describe B&O stuff: the P2 is “amazing for its size”, the A1 is “amazing for its size” the P6 was “amazing for its size” (noticed how we don’t ever more heard of it?), the Emerge is “amazing for its size”… Etc.
Does this make the Beolab 90, after all “not so great given its size” ?
You buy B&O and the B&O signature sound. Whatever the size it should sound great (or B&O like at least) and size must not be an excuse for sounding a little bit under the expectations.
So if a speaker sound “amazing for its size”, make it a little bit bigger and sound just “amazing”.
My point of view (photographers around?). 😉
Location: Paris FranceThank you Wilderwein for your kind and peaceful answer.
It turns out that I’ve heard about member status not being updated because it is a manual process that sometimes may fail. Anyway, I suggest you to contact Keith Saunders and it will sort this out.
About the price, I can’t really help. In my country B&O stuff have stupid second hand prices.
But I also understand that people sometimes need to make money and are not responsible for the market value.It’s up to you, I can’t help there.
Location: Paris FranceHi Wilderwein,
Welcome to Beoworld. The rule here is that Bronze members are not allowed to post sales/wanted add. It is still possible for technical reasons and no moderators will remove your post. That said, if you ever sell your cartridge through the forum, please consider a donation to the forum since it is currently under financial difficulties.
In the meantime you’re gonna endure a little bit of “brainwashing” from me. As Alan parson would sing: “that’s the price to pay…”
Whatever prices eBay have, 600 or even 400€ for a MMC20S is crazy. Even for a cardboard box fetishist like me this is too much by far. You could find refurbished MMC20E for close to half that price.
And that leads me to another point: a Cartridge, be it NOS, or never open ro brand new never used, etc has still aged and the suspension may be from dry-ish to rock hard, making it less compliant that it was designed to be or even, useless.
A lot of people isn’t aware from that or doesn’t care. Here we mostly all do.

Everybody should think twice when he daily drives a Dacia and he quotes a guy who drives a beautiful Aston Martin…
Nevertheless Mr 10 Percent has said every little bit of what I would want to say but better than I would do.
One thing only on your/his first point about moderation: as a freshman moderator I do know that some of the more delicate point are always a big talk between moderators to find the best compromise. The ‘incident’ you talk about hasn’t leaded to any post moderation or deletion after we talk between us and agreed on what yourself conclude: if it’s on Beoworld it is already somewhere else. I can’t remember, but maybe I’m just not aware of it, content being deleted because it was to early disclosing. That said, I aisles agree on the fact that Beoworld is not the place to know about future products or rumors or Beogossip.
We, here in France are wondering if this this not the end of the fifth republic, a system that has ruled us for years but may not work anymore… I wonder if Beoworld is not, the same way, at the end of an (good willing) era and make some (common monetizing) compromises to keep the knowledge alive.
Thank you Mr10%
Location: Paris FranceHi and welcome to Beoworld,
You should start by downloading the service manual from that model or a similar one (most Beogram have many variations and sometimes diagrams can apply to different models). If you plan to repair/retore the deck, the service manual will be a great help.
What I would also do is to do a google image search: there is plenty of beogram guts pictures around and they are often very helpful when it comes to put back a lose component.
Good luck and congratulation for your find.
Location: Paris FranceMay it be a need for multi-room setups up there.
I had a little “silent friction” with him when he repost a photoshop picture of a Wall mounted Beovision Harmony that looked like an Ikea foldable side table I did without crediting me.
Appart from that I believe his drawings are still constantly looked for by guys like me, Guy, Madskp and many others…Thanks MM.
I’d like to know many of you before having to read your life on Beoworld because you’re not there anymore.
This is Beoworld.
Location: Paris FranceThe B&O setup iPad App is useless: it don’t add no or out any feature at all.
The only thing that happens when you dock an iPad to the A3 is a specific speaker adjustment for voice or music that appears in the settings section.
This appears whether the app is installed or not.Location: Paris FranceC’mon Guys, I’m screaming this since forever: prices here in France are ridiculous!
You’ve seen a Beogram 4000 for 580£, really? I can show you 4002s at more than 1000 € with a little note “the tip shall be replaced cheap and easy to find”. I even saw one once sold for 800€ with the main plate (the one where the platter sits and not the ones on the right) painted in turquoise blue!
Anything that holds the B&O logo is sold for money only, Beolink converter @100, Beocom @600, Any Beogram is above 200€, LC2 @100, Playmakers no less than 80-120, etc…
Only common Beolabs seems to follow the market prices even if 3500, 2000 are mistakenly sold as standalone speakers at stupid prices.
And don’t even dare to call the seller to tell the item is not fairly priced!
Sometimes you can find good prices, bargains, even gifts to give away. Yes it happens and most of the time from owners who have enjoyed their things but don’t anymore. But too often people don’t even know what they’re selling, they just know that “B&O is an expensive brand”.
Sad…
Location: Paris FranceHi Tuttivini,
They are stunning! I’m close to ashamed of the rendering of mine now!
The hardwood gives really a different look and is definitely an improvement.
As are the rounded slats. All in all these “details” make them closer to the Beolab 18 and less “its-just-a-wood-grill-on-90’s-speakers”. Congratulation and thank you for pushing the idea further away.I didn’t realize before, but now I recognize you: I remember when you first posted your living room in the old forum “flash your B&O”. I really liked the fireplace and the whole setup in general, simple, clean, wires concealed. It’s an honor to be from very far away, a little bit part of it.
For all the other members, could you specify if these are 4 or 5 mm wood bars?
Thank you.
Location: Paris FranceFrom google pictures there is at least the dark wood version with black top and bottom plate and the coarse beige fabric version with white top and bottom plate and a oak wood handle.
Location: Paris FranceHi alls, me again,
Thanks to member ebnrob, I was able to activate the iTunes remote app to remotely control iTunes from any iPad or iPhone.
So I can now confirm that the setup works in distribution mode (DM) with full control from an iPhone (a 3Gs to keep up with the youngtimer mood!) or an iPad (1).
A.MEM is configured as “iTunes (external)”.
Browsing, selecting tracks or albums is made through the iTunes remote app (IRA) interface.
Beolab volume control is through the Beo4 but you can adjust the iTunes volume on IRA.Beo4 STANBY key do standby the system and stop iTunes playback.
When calling any source from Beo4 to wake it up, it will play the track that the system was playing when you stopped it: radio or song.Selecting RADIO while playing an album track do switch to radio mode and play the radio streams set in iTunes.
Selecting A.MEM while playing a radio track do switch to album mode and play the last album played.
The Beoremote also start and stop de iTunes.
Of course album browsing is not possible from the beoremote (only possible if A.MEM is mapped MUSIC, that is when LM plays the tracks directly, but then you browse in the blind with no direct access to a specific album).
But track browsing within the same album is possible with the Beoremote and reflected in IRA.
Still a pity track names are not displayed on the Beolab 3500.
Location: Paris FranceNo, thank you to you ebnrob,
I’ve just tried to enable iTunes remote again and it did work.
I’m sorry I can give the accurate procedure because I did it just like that, without making screen caps. But it’s an obvious path if you’re not distracted by the feeling Apple gives you it’s not supported anymore. Look in the corners, launch the iTunes remote app on your phone and add a new library from there. It will work, period!
Now I need to dig out my Beoport and the 3500 to see how it works all together.
Any useful find will be reported in the Mac/Beoport thread.Ebnrob, thanks again!
Location: Paris FranceThank you ebnrob. I’ll try this and will report.
Ive set the mac to auto-login at boot, just need to figure out a way to load itunes at login next.
Go to General Preference>User and groups and select your main account. Then in the “opening” tab add iTunes. (Names may differ a little sine I use a French OS but you should find your way.
Annoyingly though the mac is forgetting the time after being powered off.
Thats an usual behavior on a laptop when the battery is dead but I never experienced it on a desktop machine. Nevertheless the battery is a CR2032 and can be replaced. But opening those minis is a pain.
