  • Re: schematics of BL 1000 or deep knowledge of it?

    I'm not sure what type of project you're working on, but you might want to consider hacking with the B&O protocol instead...might be more elegant than hacking a remote. Check this guys site for info: http://www.ivor.it/beolink/

    BTW, the speakers are wired in two sets: each set in series. That means they will be connected + to -. The inner set: Green goes to negative (opposite phase) The outer set: Blue goes to positive

    Definitely check out the wiring diagram in the Service Manual to be certain - that's what I did. Perhaps my picture might help a little....although it's hard to trace the wires.

    Sorry, no CAD drawing. I carefully pulled a top piece and brought that to the local shop for measurement. It's a little easier in case we ended up switching thickness, etc. In the end, I decided to not to do the little edge bends. The shop could only really do about 5-6mm lip and the design of the speaker can only allow for about 3mm max. We had

  • Re: Bang and Olufsen Beosystem 2500 and Penta Speakers

    Hey guys, Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I'm having issues connecting my Penta MKI to my Beocenter 2300. I've wired up a powerlink to speaker link adapter but can't seem to get the displays to work. Using the same wiring, I the displays work perfectly with my Beomaster 4500. Is the protocol not compatible? It's also possible my 2300

    Thanks so much everyone for the kind words. I do need some help though. I can't get the displays to work with my Beocenter 2300. However, they work perfectly with my Beomaster 4500. I've wired up an adapter just like the one IkeA bought from B&O: Left side: Pin 1 - Pin 2 - Outside of RCA Pin 3 - Center Pin on RCA Pin 4 - Pin 5 - Pin 6 -

    Thanks Rich, they sound fantastic. Better than I remember when I auditioned a new pair back in 1990, but we all know sound memory isn't very good. My wife and I were worried we'd upset the neighbors as we were really "enjoying" them until about 11PM last night. It's been very rewarding seeing them go from such a sad state to almost

    Completed (mostly) Twins: I'm waiting on a part from my local B&O dealer so I can install the final amp trim piece: Lock for Lid 3024066 (which has been updated to part #3034003) The Twins are back!

    Prepping and painting plastic. The satin black came out great, but the reflective nature of the satin picks up surrounding colors. If I were to do it again, I'd do flat black to de-emphasize the plastic parts of the speakers.
