I have noticed a very faint hum when my Beolit 12 is turned on.

The hum is there wether airplay is on or off.

 

Does anyone else experience this?

yes .But as I've said in another post its gone back to B&O now. the white noise was a little irritating next to my ear throughout the night as we used it for netradio at night. Will the A9 be better?

Not really. Id not thought about it too much . However, it never did airplay for us and was hard wired ,which was not good. When the catch on the side door failed that was too much though.

Ok..I am a bit afraid that it is some capacitor or something going bad, and that it will get worse with time. Maybe I should ask my dealers service man to check it just to be sure.

Mine hummed from day 1, silent, but audible when not playing music, or at the lowest possible volume setting. I can hear it from a few meters away, if it's really silent at home.

I did not find it to be a big issue. Mostly, when the beolit is on, it is playing music, otherwise I shut it down.

I've had three different BeoLit 12, all makes that noise. It´s audible from about two meters distance easily if you sit in ear height against the tweeters. It is a common sound on amplified speakers. Some are louder than others. 

Beolab 50, Beolab 8000 x 2, Beolab 4000 x 2, 
BeoSound Core, BeoSound 9000, BeoSound Century, 
BeoLit 15, BeoPlay A1, BeoPlay P2, BeoPlay H9 3rd Gen, BeoPlay H6, EarSet 3i, 
BeoVision Eclipse Gen 2 55", BeoPlay V1-40, 
BeoCom 6000 and so much else :)

My friend wanted it, so I sold it to him very cheap.

But I checked my A2, and even that one has the white noise when on.

Have to check if that it the cause with the demo-models in the store when my Beolit 15 arrives. Big Smile
