That’s weird! If you’ve been using the converter through a Powerlink wire and the converter cliks in/cliks out, it means the powerlink socket is correctly passing sound and power (right now I’m wondering if there is the same pin that triggers both devices beolab or converter…).
As for the headphone socket, I dont know if it’s a relay or just a switch built-in the jack socket. When I tried it just before posting, I didnt hear any relay appart from the loud ones from the beolabs just there.
Hi, I’m not good at this but what comes to my mind:
Do you have sound from the headphone socket?
Did you deactivate the converter as mentioned above?
Do the mute light light on or off accordingly, meaning could it be a stuck key on the keyboard?
Could it be the headphone switch that is stuck?Hi and welcome to Beoworld,
Any MMCx (1/2/3/4/5) will fit: they all look like the same, they differ in diamond shape and cantilever material, in short, in quality (MMC5 is the lowest, MMC1 is the best).
They must not be mistaken with MMCxx (10/20) or MMCxxxx (5000,6000,…) that are bigger in size and older.
Sadly, there is no cheap alternative to those cartridges. Sometimes you may find a bargain second hand but they would not be at their best. Beside the electrical part and the needle condition, there is a rubber part inside that may be dry and limit the quality of the sound.
Honestly I have old cartridge and I’m not sure how it does affect the sound that sound pretty good to me. However, it is something to consider.The cheapest way I’ve found to get a good MMC was to find a broken one for cheap and having it rebuilt by a specialist, Then you get a new tip, a new cantilever and a new suspension, in other word a brand new cartridge. But this still have a cost, more than 150€ depending on the initial cost of the cartridge, the shipping cost, etc…
From memory the 2200 is an entry level, Japanese in disguise Beocenter.
It would be easier to sell if it has the cartridge. Cartridges have a more resell value.Hop this helps.
Is this the Technical Sound Guide you are referring to? https://tinyurl.com/4a72t56v
I think it must be that one instead!
This one was used by my father for demos (he was a B&O dealer in the 70’s). Below all the faces, including tracklists.
Thank you YannChris.
I really love this stylus tip graphics.
The record as it, as un object is a beautiful thing.Did you try it?
Found it but no letter. Henrik.
Hi Henrik, thank you for checking.
Hi Geoff,
The black one is listed on discogs:
About the white one, I believe I’ve seen a test record with this sleeve design, but I can’t find it. Is this the one you’re referring to?
Thank you.
It’s a “test” record.
It as music tracks to display Hi-Fi quality but also “technical” tracks to adjust turntable settings.
So there will be music tracks along with sine tones, white noises, things like that. I don’t know really. But it seems that the letter gives hints on how to use it.
They are many test records of every brand, that one is of course, iconic to us.
Regards.
That’s amazing, I understand it all now…
Thank you for the heads up Steve,
Happy birthday B&O and happy birthday to all of us.
And I’m sorry too but you dont seem to understand what a forum is all about: common knowledge, future help, things like that…
The important thing is not that the output is doubled.
It is important for people who try to understand what you want to achieve or may want to do the same in the future. That may “interest them” as well…
I suspect you’re talking about a BeoSOUND 9000, multi CD player, right?
If so, I suggest you edit your post title and you may then have more answers.
Most likely the belt yes, google Beoparts, I’m quite sure they must have correct belts.
From memory you just have to remove the top parts and it’s not a big deal.
Hope this helps.
We don’t watch Star Wars and expect to think that Luke and Leia are in your living room…
Well… Actually, when I watch Miss Sloane on TV I would like Jessica Chastain to pop up in my living room… But that must not be what you’re talking about…
…to hear the sound of a foot tapping, coupled through a stage floor, mechanically shaking a vocal mic and resulting in a rhythmic rumble that probably wasn’t supposed to be there…
Isn’t this part of the “full Unpluged Experience”? Like if you where there sitting on the carpet? I was reading about acoustic guitar mic placement and use and was surprised to learn that sometimes “parasite” noises like fingers sweeps on wound strings or hands tapping the guitar body are wanted because they enhance the acoustic warm feel.
Pfffffff,
I was after an IR eye since forever just to make something with that big heavy black box and know I learn it won’t work… I was ready asked member CB if he still had his essence MK1 to use it along the eye like a big Playmaker but it was gone too.
Hopefully, I will find a use someday… The other one (MCL/ML) his currently triggered by a Playmaker and driving rear speakers.
To be continued…
Did you try Test Mode on the Passive?
Yes I just did and it worked. The Passive cliks in and the sensor react (blinks) to IR commands.
Tnak you Guy.But are you saying It can not be turned up with a simple key on the remote and fed by power link? So long standalone Passive…. 🙁
The easiest way to do this would be to add an MCL2AV together with the sensor.
Or use one of the spare 2500 I have. 😀
No, what I wanted to say is more: I’d like to make something af all this…
Thank you Guy.
