    BC 9500 wall mount

    What's the maximum angle that I can hang a BC9500  from the wall???? It looks like some have hung them at about 65 or 70 degrees....yes??\

    Thanks,

    35 degrees from horizontal.

    Was this an official B&O figure or one being marketed by the guy who made the brackets?

    The CD mech itself will work on the bench at 90 degrees but I suspect that problems may be encountered with the CD drawer opening/closing mechanism at anything but flat on a shelf. This is especially so with the mechanisms now not being in their first flush of youth!

    The CD mechanism is not actually fixed in the chassis but is free to float on rubber/spring mounts. As the 9500 mounting angle is increased there will be a tendancy for the CD mechanism to "slide" or "lean" towards the front of the chassis and put additional strain on the Door/clamper operating system which may lead to unreliable operation.

    Was the figure of 35 degrees suggested in the days of the 9000? This would make slightly more sense as the sliding door mechanism is independent of the disc clamper on these models.

    This is merely an opinion based on my experience with a number of 8500/9500/9300 models with unreliable CD door mechanisms. They have to be just right to work in a reliable manner even when flat on a table.

    Regards Graham

    Hi Graham...so you'd suggest mounting flat only, yes??? or with a well tuned door it's okay to tilt a bit....thanks..

    My personal recommendation is flat but I'm sure that there are others who would not agree. Suggest you wedge your 9500 up at an angle with some books and see how you get on!

    Regards Graham

    It was the figure touted by the guy who made the brackets Graham. I'm assuming he'd done some research into it before releasing them onto the market. It was sold to fit all of these beocenters so it may well have been based on the worst case scenario.

    They were very well made and thought through which led me to believe he knew what he was doing.

    Do they bolt up from the bottom...or do the legs of the Beocenter just sit in the holes???
