Thank You for the response regarding the MCP for the Beomaster 5500. It did help in finding out before I bid on a unit. ( I got out bid ) I’ll keep looking for the proper MCP or a 6500 MCP . I do have the Beolink 1000, but I wanted to control the loudness switch on the Amp. Yes other aspects as well are better with the MCP.
Your help has been greatly appreciated.

Hi again
Well I took Evans advice and added some damping to the plate.( Dynamat ) The plates were sealed with silicone and air tight for sure. They are now assembled and sound fantastic. They sounded like rubbish before the upgrade and now sound nearly as good as my RL60-2. I think the difference is the woofers. I understand they made a change on the RL60-2 woofers. ( Correct me if I’m wrong. ) But none the less they sound very good AGAIN. Thanks for your replies and advice on the repairs. Went far better, and easier than I anticipated. Another pair of B & O speakers saved.
If anyone has any questions about the repair, please feel free to e-mail me or post it.
My best to all
The system won’t let me post STL files. Here is the site for the plate https://www.thingiverse.com
Search Bang & Olufsen Redline 60 repair plate. For the port I went to https://grabcad.com/library/beovox-redline-60-port-1#! On that web site I did have to make an account to down load.
Both Sites list STL files for 3D printing of the parts. I put them on a thumb drive and my local library printed them for the cost of the plastic.
(Just a note …the 2 holes in the center of the plate need to filled with silicone. They are guide holes if you want to print a filler plate. I felt no need to do this. We will see ..right ? )
Thanks Stephen
Hi Evan
Here are the files for the parts I had printed. Over all the parts came out NICE. A little touch-up with a dremel tool and they fit perfect and tight. I’ll be putting them together tonight with silicone glue and test run will follow in the morning.
Hi Evan
Thanks for the offer to print the parts. I went to the SLC Library today and they are going to try and print one out for me. Not sure if it will fit their machine. They said they would try but it will print on an angle with supports. You probably know more about that than me. If it fails they wont charge me, and I’ll be sending you a note. Either way I’ll let you know what the outcome is. I really appreciate the offer of help. I also found a file for the tube that attaches instead of PVC pipe. It will look just like the B & O replacement part. We will see …..Again Thank You
My repair guy has called me with the same problem. The loud POP when first turned on. I have 2 Beomaster 4000 amps. When I got the 1st one going it did the pop thing. After running it for a while ( days ) It seems to have gone away. ( Just a small click sound on power up. ) On to the next one. It does the same thing after capacitor replacement( audio caps only ) . Have not tried to run it for an extended time. My repair guy had me order the complete set of tune up parts and capacitor kits from Beoparts. We will see if we get the same problem after a complete work over. I’ll keep you posted as to what we find. They both sound fantastic, but he said, pick one and it will sound even better after the overhaul.
