As far as I know only the 1st generation of A9 worked with Beo4, 5 and 6 as it had an infrared port. Later generations of A9 only work with Bluetooth.
GOLD MemberThank you for all the good work to make the jewel Beoworld happen and keeping it alive.
GOLD MemberThanks for your input. So it seems a little more complicated than originally thought 😉
GOLD MemberHello Johan,
yes, the Beosystem 3 manages the HDMI inputs (Streamer, Blu-Ray…).

*in my native language I know much better words to express my bad mood 😉

According to the site the kids unfortunately must be mininum 12years old for the factory tour. 🙁GOLD MemberModel: BeoSound 1 2nd generation”.
Okay, that was too obvious. 😀 Thanks.
So, MK1 battery required and service manual.
GOLD MemberIs there a service manual on how to dismantle it WITHOUT scratching and damaging? 🙂 Didn’t find one on Beoworld nor online, only for the lovely old Beosound 1 with CD player.
Can anybody tell me if my BS 1 item no. 1665511 is MK1 or MK2? There are two different batteries available.
Currently I didn’t disassemble the BS 1 so I can’t tell whether the internal charging circuit is dead or just the battery.
It’s strange that local control is broken… and even stranger if this has its cause in a broken battery.
Yes, I know that lithium batterys aren’t fun. That’s why I don’t buy an electrical car, too. 😉
GOLD MemberSad news.
He contributed so much to our B&O community.My condolence to his family!
GOLD MemberThe Prize Draw… ist an icing on the cake.
The main reason why I became a Gold member was support and access.
Support of this great B&O forum and
Access to all the information, solutions and data that opens up new possibilities in the B&O world and provides solutions you might not have thought about.Instead of the prize draw a very nice addition would be access to Bang & Olufsen software – as far as this is possible and of course at your own risk if you brick etc. a Beosound while experimenting around with firmware, PUC etc.
GOLD Member4th Prize – Pair of H3 2nd Gen Earphones – Aluminium Need a compact travel companion – or someone to come to the gym with you? No, not a tour guide or personal trainer.. it’s a pair of Boxed ex-display Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H3 Earphones in the classic Natural Aluminium finish. Music to your ears (and other assorted poor jokes) and we absolutely know you’ll love these! The sound from these is as you’d expect from B&O – pin sharp, and they’re just as good for taking the dog for a walk as they are the daily commute.. and the Gym of course. Good Luck! The Winner is… Mr T. Geuting (TWG) from Gevelsberg, Germany Jolly well done to you – what a super prize to enjoy, and happy listening!
Thank you very much! And lucky me it’s my personal color of choice! 😉
Of course I enjoy them. I already have two pairs of H3 because they are very good in-ears!!!
Thanks again, Beoworld and members family. 🙂
GOLD MemberIt’s very nice even without home automation for pure audio control around the house. No “where’s my phone”, just a central HALO on every floor is great and comfortable.
BUT: Please add Alarm control of supported products. Would be nice to just choose e.g. Beosound 1, and turn alarm on/off with the Beoremote HALO, too.
Hopefully Bang & Olufsen has made it reliable this time!
Not as unreliable (mechanical) as the Essence remots that become stiff or leaking grease. That’s nothing but a shame for their brand!GOLD MemberUpdate:
Due to B&Os great multi room system, I’ve found out, that the sound of a bluetooth connected device is shared across all connected NL devices, too. I didn’t know that before.
Very nice.GOLD MemberI’m very happy that Bang & Olufsen was wise enough to choose a LCD instead of OLED display. That way it is ensured that the product will be usable and survive much longer. OLED displays (yes, todays modern OLED displays, too) tend to burn in, dim out etc. while LCDs can last for decades!
Every day usage:
The halo does a good job here and doesn’t act only as a B&O remote.
It works as a Bluetooth remote control and Bluetooth display for multiple devices, including some Sony High Resolution Audio Walkmans.
Streaming via Google Chromecast (which is not very reliable, no matter on which network) we use Bluetooth at home, too.
I don’t care too much about my phone but I don’t want to have my Sony HighRes Walkman laying around in the kitchen when doing the dishes etc. I like it to much! 🙂
Walkman is paired to an Essence in the Kitchen via Bluetooth. When I play music over Bluetooth from the Walkman the Beoremote Halo shows current track, title FROM THE WALKMAN and of course I can skip tracks or play/pause the Sony Walkman! How cool is that? I love it!Beoremote Halo on every level in the house is the preferred solution to control music and music systems/speakers at home.
It cures the unplanned “Damn, where’s my phone?” athletic search tours around the house. 🙂I miss a full screen clock on the Beoremote Halo when approaching it, and Bang & Olufsen should reintroduce the red standby light on every product again. 🙂
Currently we use only a small percentage of the HALOs functionality as a few NL/ML convertes are waiting to be installed and even with our current use case the HALO is a lovely addition at out home.. which will hopefully last longer as a mobile phone.
GOLD MemberI’m clearly aware of the intended usage, yes, but the personal usage in our home shows this as a viable and elegant option. Of course the user can (and should) decide whether to have full screen clock displayed when approaching it or not.
GOLD MemberThe silver one looks very good for me!
GOLD MemberThank you very much!
3 June 2022 at 10:21 in reply to: Beolab 4000 – Taugen die was? Vergleich mit Beolab 6000 etc.. #34448GOLD MemberSo unterschiedlich sind die Höreindrücke… ich finde Beolab 4000 und 6000 geben sich klanglich nicht sehr unterschiedlich voneinander.
Von Audiophil kann jedoch keine Rede sein. Die Beolab 4000 klingen bei uns in einer großen Küche aber tatsächlich irgendwie angenehmer als die 6000er die wir dort zum Vergleich ebenfalls aufgestellt hatten.
Die 4000er sind schon relativ warm abgestimmt, daher kann ich den “Schock” zu den schonungslos entlarvenden Beolab 1 nachvollziehen. Die Beolab 1 befinden sich klanglich aber in einer weitaus höheren Liga als 4000, 6000 und 8000. Die Beolab 1 klingen dermaßen analytisch, klar und differenziert, dass sie im Vergleich auch mit guten Studiomonitoren mithalten können. Wenn man das nicht gewohnt ist, ist das wirklich eine Überraschung, für meine Ohren aber eine sehr positive.
Nachteil: Mist rein = Mist raus. Miese Aufnahmen oder Dateiqualität wird bei diesen Lautsprechern auf dem Silbertablett um die Ohren gehauen. 🙂Da sind die einfacheren Modelle 4000, 6000 und 8000 “ohrenfreundlicher” abgestimmt und kaschieren qualitative Probleme des Quellmaterials auf angenehme Art und Weise ohne der Musik den Spaß zu nehmen. Jedoch nur bis zu einer bestimmten Raumgröße. In unserer Küche (ca. 30 Quadratmeter) wirkt der Klang o.g. Lautsprecher schon etwas verloren. Da musste ein Subwoofer dazu und schon passt’s. Ich hätte auch Beolab 1 in die Küche gestellt… aber dann hört die Toleranz meiner Frau doch irgendwo auf. 😉
Immer unter der Voraussetzung, dass keinerlei Klangeinstellung an der Anlage erfolgt und das Signal neutral wiedergegeben wird (ohne Loudness, verstellten Bass oder verstellte Höhen). Da spielen die Beolab 1 alles an die Wand, benötigen aber – wie auch die anderen B&O Säulen – einen Subwoofer.
Natürlich spielen immer auch die Räumlichkeiten eine nicht zu unterschätzende Rolle. Im alten Wohnzimmer mit offener Galerie und Dachschrägen haben die Beolab 1 trotz Subwoofer nur an 2-3 Hörpositionen Spaß gemacht – selbstverständlich NICHT da wo man sitzt. 😀
Im neuen Haus mit “normalen” Räumen in Reckteckform ist es weitaus unproblematischer und macht wieder Spaß.Man kann die 4000er sehr wohl mit Subwoofern eines Fremdherstellers bereichern um ihr Klangbild nach unten hin abzurunden und ihnen durch die Entlastung mehr Volumen zu spendieren. Die Auswahl an Subwoofern ist doch gigantisch groß! Von Designervarianten bis zum Erdbebenkaliber ist auf dem Markt alles verfügbar.
Die teils konträren Höreindrücke von “Die Bogener” verdeutlichen, dass der subjektive Höreindruck wichtig ist.
Die eigenen Ohren sollten das “Werkzeug” Deiner Auswahl sein.
Wenn die Möglichkeit besteht:
Alle Wunschlautsprecher in den Zielraum stellen und dort miteinander probehören. Alles bei gleicher Lautstärke, keine Klangveränderung (alle Regler, Einstellungen neutral) und an der selben Position.
Dann hörst Du sehr schnell welcher Lautsprecher dir in dem Raum zusagt und welcher nicht – mitunter mit überraschendem Ergebnis.Wichtig ist doch, dass jedem “seine” Lautsprecher Freude an der Musik bereiten!
GOLD MemberSteve you lucky bastard! 😀
Enjoy your trip and please share photos and videos!
GOLD MemberYes, I’m still using one, too. I don’t even think of the possibility to sell it.
Keep in mind that the Beosound 9000 is a delicate piece of equipment! It’s like an oldtimer that needs care from time to time and there are no more spare parts available from B&O according to information of my dealer in 2020. So if you want one, you better buy a serviced one with warranty from a B&O dealer.
I’ve just installed a Beosound 9000 onto a wall in our new house’s living room.
It’s nice to touch and doesn’t feel cheap, it’s beautiful but not too flashy and yes, especially in the evening it looks some kind of calm and “technically cozy” when the lights are on and the disc is spinning.
I guess that’s what the vinyl enjoy when they’re listening with their turntables watching the record spinning.If you listen to many CDs it’s not the most comfortable CD player as changing the discs is not as easy as on standard tray loaded or slot-in CD players (depending on the chosen mounting option of a BS 9000).
Hundreds of CDs in the house and the BS 9000 plays music burned to CDs from online sources like Beatport, Soundcloud etc. where (unfortunately) pure digital downloads are dominating.
The BS 9000 is not the main source of music in the house but one of the lovely ones I love to keep maintained and serviced. -
