Hi Beoworld, and thank you for the membership.
I have been messing around with my "new" stereo for a while, and myt admit to need help.
System: Beomaster 4400 + Beovox s80
My left speaker is very weak compared to my right speaker.
So i did all the things i could think of:
- Checked balance slider. set to 0.
- Checked the cables for polarity.connected the Din 2-pin so that male spade is connected to the bigger female, and the male round pin to the smaller female. vice versa.
- Switched the speakers around. Still the left output was weak. So ruled out the speakers as the problem.
- switched on Mono. Seems to help balance the sound out betweeen the two.
- Tried using both speaker 1 and speaker 2 outputs on the amp. Left side is weak no matter which i use.
So my conclusion is that the Amp left side is somehow not working very well.
Can there be any other explanations? and is this fixable in anyway? Also just contacted a Bang olufsen workshop in town, to hear their perception of it.
Hope you guys got some idea. Kind of frustrated here :S
Welcome to Beoworld !
Your Beomaster 4400 is in need of electronic service.Perhaps more or less a rebuild rather than a repair. It's very common for certain comonents to deteriorate with age,capacitors and trimmers in particular and it's very common to see the symptoms you describe.A servicekit exists for the experienced electronics guy with the manuals, skills, tools and instruments needed.
