Hi Guy.

A.Option setting to 4 does not work : 1,2 & 5 or 6 do work.

Thanks Guy.

Hi alls,

Just to confirm that the PCB14 in Beosound 9000 MK2 indeed looks like the picture above.

After replacing both 22 microfarad SMD capacitors with regular ones, the IR board calme back to life.

Thanks to everyone who helped.

Congratulations,

Every single new owner of a pair of Beolab 18 (the whole pair) should have a song in his name.

I’d like to have a song in my name!

Congrats again.

Don’t know what you mean by “poorly fitted” but what pushed me to design this clamps was that the ones on the market have a bulgy look, too round, too thick, too ‘not elegant’. So I tried to reduce the arc of the grid as much as i can.

In the first post you have have a top view and also the template for the cardboard top plate that should give you an idea of the whole render.

Maybe it can answer your question.

Cheers.

Hi,

A power failure of a Beosound 9000 is my worst nigthmare about this unit I pretend to know a little bit though.

For anyone to help you better, what mark is the 9000: some do have a power switch and it may be the easier place to start.

PS: to your other enquirie about the french branch, Yes it do exist but the main action is there in the internationals threads. Nowadays with the integrated traduction tolls it should be easier for anyone to follow. Tell this to your french mate. By the way, I’ve pushed a lot of french people to this forum about the Beolab 8000 clamps to make wooden frets. Maybe your friend is one of them?

How much I wish it was the same thing to remotely control or even just monitor iTunes from a mac to another…

I like that kind of “attention to details”!

If it may be of any help, here you have the round and rounded square versions of the logo: it may help make it blend a little more…

(They look the same here because of the white background, but they are round and rounded square!)

Hi and welcome to Beoworld,

Do you have sound from the headphone socket?

Do you have sound from the radio?

I think that the Beolab 50 is one of the best styled speakers that B&O has ever made.

I think nothing can compete with the visual refinement of the Beolab 18 or in a different way, the non-speaker neo-retro-futuristic look of the Beolab 5.
The Beolab 90 has for it the eye-catching, mind-wondering look but it cannot be called “beautiful” in my opinion.

The Beolab 50 looks more like a Dyson X Brabantia air conditionner even if I would gladely welcome a pair in my living-room (thing I wouldn’t do with the 28)…

That is why I try to avoid “as much as I can” to rely on a third party provider of any kind: sonner or later business deals and stock market arrangement may left you on the side of the road because of any promised compatibility that is no longer on the agenda of the company.

Nothing more safe and efficient than a local storage full of files and Millemissen* as an algorythm to advice you on new content throught the “What are you listening right now” thread.

*Friendly and respectfull joke.

I don’t have a spotify account so I’m unable to provide any link.

The first seconds of the first track of the album Re:member from Olafur Arnalds.

Also the very first note from the track First light from the album First light from Jonsi.

Both make the woofer vibrate.

Hi Alls,

I joined the discussion since I share the same issue than KolfMAKER. Maybe I’ve already talked about that somewhere but in a nutshell my solution was to stick à little piece of soft foam between the fret and the surround of the scratching speaker. It must be a sacrilege but since I never listen very loud it did work to me for a while.

Now If there is any solution that do not involve tearing appart the woofer, I would be happy to hear it.

Today I noticed something that may help maybe: I dont need heavy level to make it happend. It will be very noticeable at low level in piano parts, like in some pieces of Olafur Arnalds. It is more like a vibration like if something was flapping on the cone but I’m not very good a describing that kind of noise.

Hope this helps.

Breaking News (like if my last post brought me bad luck)…

The remote does’nt even last few hours nor even minutes. I used it today in Apple TV mode and after few clics both went dead.

I suspect this being related to the aTV IR command but I dont know how to tell for sure.

A little feedback on the CS batteries,

They are still running fine but they discharge a lot faster than in the first weeks of use.
To the point that I need to have two Beo6: one on the table the other on the charging dock. Average swapping is two days.

I’ve also noticed that it never charge at full: on the Beo6 red battery indicator there is always one or two millimeters black even though the remote sits on its craddle for days.

For the record all Beo6 are full of third party IR codes (Samsung & Apple) and all screens use full screen images.

Nevertheless, those batteries are still the better option to date.

Another flat fallen joke: I did’nt see the attachment and your message only reminds me the scene in “Le Mans 66” when Ken Miles advices Leo Bebee from Ford about how to improve the Mustang…

With regard to the sports vehicle I recommend this. Better aerodynamics, more impressive, more sportive (24 hr world record 1,250 km  exactly this type), price only 7 to 8 H 100.

[…] And you would still buy a Chevy Chevelle, and it’s a F* terrible car?

I must say that as an auto-sense line-in device connected to powered speakers, it worked 100% absolutely perfectly.

Then you are both lucky. Mine is a little bit “temperamental”. Appart from the issue described above (needed to turn off Auto Airplay Connect on all the phones from the house but not sure yet it solved the problem…) it also not always revert to airplay after playing a record (meaning auto-sensing the analog input).
