Mikipidia:
I finally got new cables but still no luck, again it's a lot less but I think either in the tv or in the master there is a bad ground somewhere. Cat7 between the speakers is fine and so are other cat 5e or cat6 cables, but between the tv and the master is where the problem is... cat 7 gives ticking, cat 6 gives ticking and an electro sound when changing volume and or anything speaker related(data ground) and cat 5e gives the least of ticking and my cheapest cat 5e cable doesn't give any but the most electro sound. Spoke with Willie and he also confirms that's a bad ground on the data channel, so now we have to find out if it's in the tv or in the master speaker. I don't want to burst your bubble, but this is what I am dealing with

What exactly is the problem ?

Are these cables for PL?

@BEOVOX141

 

Sorry I missed it, but it seems like i had a cable issue as in the shielding broke or something but even with the new cables i had the same weird issue and then all of a sudden it was gone. So in short they're fixed now, but we have no idea what the problem was(is/has been) as nothing has changed but the issue is gone. so yaaay and Huh?

Hi

Unfortunately, I'm not the owner of Breolab 50 or 90, nor Beolab 5

But I listened to these..one of the songs on Beolab 50: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtwUyDPXROQ

Amazing ... what a divine sound, The room is very acoustic next to a bottle of 25 year old cognac and a pleasant company :)

No grills yet. They are lost in transit. Along with the microphone. Hopefully they will arrive next week, or dealer is sending replacements. And I disconnected all of the cables to my BV7. Had sat box etc in an old Beosystem 1 cabinet but with the size of the 50s, I decided to get rid of the cabinet as no longer fits well. Have cables all over the place right now. Was planning to post pictures when things are looking a little better. Have not figured out the cable management issue yet. My 20s were plugged in to a Panamax unit in the Beosystem 1 cabinet but my understanding is that 50s need to be plugged in directly to an outlet. Have lots of ugly outlets behind the 7 but using them looks horrible. Am trying to come up with a way to hide everything.

You did the hard part.

White braided sleeve you can find see below. You can buy shorter mains cables in white very cheap from Amazon. If you don't want to pay electrician to move your outlets you can create and paint a very correct-size false wall panel to channel cables from floor. And I WOULD use a surge protector. Good luck.

Hi Raslaw,

Congratulation to your new Beolab 50. I must ask you if you have had any problems with the Slave-speaker looses connection with the master-speaker?

I have had a lot of problems with this. In two month it has happened 9 times!.

I would be nice to know if you have had any trouble with your new speakers.

Best Regards
Martin

I have not had any problems other than on two occasions they both stopped working and I had to reset them. However, on at least one of the occasions I was also experiencing some WiFi problems so I am not sure if the WiFi was the cause, or something specifically related to the 50s. This week I have connected the 50’s to my network with an Ethernet cable and have had no problems since doing that.

I do not recall for certain but I do not think so. The fist time the speakers started cutting in and out and then stopped playing completely while listening to music. The second time they would not turn on either with the Core or the BV7.

The front grill shows an amazing  skill of craftsmanship . Simply wonderful done. 

But I really don’t like that you can see the drivers. Some cloth behind the grill would be (for me) the solution. 

I’ve seen the production of several aluminium parts at the factory last august, but that is intriguing. So much care for details you normally don’t know or are aware off.

I was not sure if I would like seeing the drivers and almost ordered cloth fronts. Now that I have them, I do like them. It is amazing the different effects that different lighting has on them. Last night listening to music in a mostly dark room, what little light there was created an optical illusion of light inside the speakers, almost making it look as if the speaker was hollow. Sitting here looking at them this morning, when I look at one speaker I can see one driver almost as clearly as if there was no grill at all. Looking at the the other speaker, it appears as if the grill is almost solid and very little of the drivers can be seen.
