Hi everybody,
At XavierItzmann, Thats a nice project and it will be good that if could upgrade that lovely system and make it life for years more. I’m looking forward what you’ll find.
I have two A3’s, one has an iPad 1 64Go and works basically as a giant iPod with built in (B&O) speakers. The other one has an iPad 3 and is used as a mobile Beovision: I use it to watch through VLC, movies or tvshows streaming from the main media server.
Honestly I can’t say that they are the most useful piece of B&O hardware I use today. Its more like Millemissen said, nostalgia (appart from the giant iPod that is use on vacations).
Nevertheless, I’ve notice a small issue thought: when the iPad and the A3 are low on battery (you never actually know how charged is the A3 battery…), the touch function of the iPad become erratic. You have to let it plugged for a while before it start to behave like it should again (on both A3’s with different iPads).
The strange thing is that the channel plays on both speakers and when I dial down the balance both speakers go quiet.
Ok, I read too fast again. Then just do as Guy told!
Sorry.
Can you please explain?
I understood that you have a balance problem only when playin an AUX.IN source.
Then DIN adapters sold on the market are not always correctly wired, sometime AUX.IN, sometimes AUX.OUT, sometimes exotic combinations of both: better make your wires yourself or talk to a specialist!Now if the problem is there even when playing a CD that’s another story. Then I would for from more simple to the more complicated:
1-Check with an headphone.
2-Check the line in switch of your Beolabs as suggested by Guy above.
3-Check the Powerlink cables by inverting them from one speaker to another.
4-when you’re certain the wire is not the problem, check the Beolabs by inverting them again or using the line in socket if they have one.If no one of this works, then it may be an internal problem with your 9000 and it’s beyond my knowledge.
Good luck.
Hi,
Glue it with whatever glue is relavant and punt something around it to make it stronger, from a pipe ring to an O’ring, or a very little rislan if you can conceal it. Maybe also orthodontist wire wrapped around…
Maybe not the best solution, but dismantling this part involves taking off the thin wires from the head and after that, adjusting all the arm mechanism. Definitely not something I would do unless mandatory.
[…] where you can select how/where to direct the sound, […]
Doesn’t this require more than a woofer and two tweeters?
Um 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).
My 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.
but the styling really doesn’t do anything for me.
I agree it is a little bit to much “hippie” looking.
From 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!
Hi 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.
Pretty 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?). 😉
Thank 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.
Hi 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.
Shooting from the hip, here is my view-point: –
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%
Hi 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.
May 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.
The 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.
