Evening everyone...
I recently moved house and to celebrate replaced my Beovox Pentas with a pair of Beolab Penta 1s. When hooked up using a 2-pin DIN cable (tracking a wired 4-pin is proving fun) things start to go a little odd!
One speaker has a habit of providing some white noise that grows, pops, and then goes away. This doesn't happen all the time, but really affects the listening when it does. Both speakers also pop when a music source is turned on or off, or the system is muted, and provide a very noisy hum
So my question is this - given the system worked with a non-amp speaker set, are the new pair in need of some serious TLC? I hope it's not the BM7000 that's giving up the ghost
If the consensus is that the speakers need attention, does anyone know of a reputable engineer or service around the Worcestershire area that they would recommend?
All help greatly appreciated!
Mike
Hi Mike and welcome to Beoworld.
Are all of the settings on the Penta amps set as they should be for a BM7000? e.g. the sensitivity. Did you turn the power mode switch to 'off' before connecting the speakers to the BM7000?
Can you try running 2 core speaker cable into the other two inputs from the amp and make sure they are in-phase, i.e. +ve to +ve and -ve to -ve. Do you still get a problem?
Dave.
