hi guys and girls new member here with a quick question. i currently have a beomaster 5000 with 2 beovox s55 speakers, however as i have another 2 kicking around is it at all possible to run 4 speakers from the beomaster 5000? i see it has 4 sockets but only one set seem to work, any help would be great, thanks in advance.

Hi, and welcome to Beoworld. Yes, your BM5000 can run 4 speakers. Try pressing MUTE on and off a few times. You may a stuck muting relay. These only work on one pair of speakers. So that may be your problem.

Which one works?!! You can certainly run 4 speakers - the system is actually designed so it can run a houseful with the right equipment. If only speaker 2 works, either speaker one is muted (you cannot mute speaker 2) or the mute relay is stuck - a common problem! Try attaching the speakers to speaker one and press the right hand coner of the amplifier - where it says mute.  That should un-mute it!!

thanks guys this seems to have got them working, however the right hand side are running considerably quieter then the left hand...any ideas? 

Try opening the control panel and then press  NEUTRAL. This will return balance to neutral and also sets tone controls to flat. Welcome to Beoworld.

doesn't seem to help it,  there still a hell of a lot quieter.

Do you have the the matching Master Control Panel; if so can you equalize the balance that way? If not it may be in need of some new capacitors, well worth the investment.
