Razlaw, are you using Wpl or powerlink, what tv are you using?
mine still has problems after 3.0.0504 software, slave speaker is intermittent. Altering on and off. peter
I am going to hold fire on this update. I have no desire to add to my issues with BL50. Why do these companies think it acceptable to use their customers as their testing/proving ground? Personally speaking, being treated like a lab rat just makes me want to abandon the brand?

Razlaw:I hope you get it soon. I am curious to hear your opinions of it. It is probably my imagination along with the fact I have not been listening to the 50s as much during the summer, but to my ears, I hear a significant improvement in sound. I would not have thought that possible so it must be my imagination?

Hi Michael,
It seems that 3.0 sw for BL 50 is out now. Can you try to see if you have got the new update?
Best Regards

Michael:Update done and they sound like new speakers. Maybe placebo, maybe not.
Michael:the speakers could download on their own 3.0.0.527.
Razlaw:I looked at mine and they are on 3.0.0.257. Is the 527 correct and there is a newer version than what I have? Or was 527 just a typo of 257? Thanks!

I also got the software 3.0.0.527 and have also tried other variations of the 3.0 software. My feeling is that the BASS is much less with this new software tnan the old 2.3.4.7045. What is your opinion about the Bass response?
I dont feel that the sound quality is improving. I have rolled back to 2.3.4.7045
Best regards

Hi Michael and Raslaw,
When I updated my BL50 a couple of weeks ago with software 3.0.0.444 I found out the following strange software behaviour:
1. After update, the sound was almost exactly as with the old software 2.3.4.7045
2. I went to the settings menu (WEB-UI) for the Beolab 50 and checked all settings there. I found out that all "tick in the box" for ARC-calibrations was "un-ticked". But the sound in the speakers was AS the ARC calibrations was "ticked in the box" for every presets. I then "re-ticked" the ARC-calibrations for every presets that I have and then the strange behavior occur: THE BASS RESPONE IS ALMOST GONE.
3. I tried after this to make a total reset of the speakers and make new ARC-calibrations but still the BASS RESPONSE was very weak and NOT as it was with the old software 2.3.4.7045.
Therfore I can not understand in what way You experience a better sound quality with the speakers. Have you checked if the "ARC-boxes" in the settings-menu are ticked or un-ticked in the BL50 setting menu? If they are ticked in the box, try to un-tick the box and then tick it again to see IF you have the same soundstage as before.

Thanks for your response.
Can You please check in the BL50 settings menu IF the tick in the box for ARC-calibrations on your presets is still there or not.
My dissapeard after the software update. And when I "re-ticked" the ARC-calibrations on each preset again then the soundquality (especially the BASS response) went down.

Razlaw:Upon updating the speakers, the sound improvement was immediate and very noticeable. The bass is still the same as it was before as are all presets. I don’t know how to describe the improvement other than to to say when I upgraded from 20s to 50s there was obviously a huge improvement in sound. The improvement after the software update was similar. I was very much surprised when I heard them after the update. I can try to look at the boxes you mention, but how do I do that?

Hi Raslaw,
What I mean is when you connect an ARC calibration to a preset. If you go into the settings menu for BL 50 and choose one of your presets, click on that preset and click after that on "room calibration". Now you will see all of the ARC calibrations you have made and one of them should have a "tick in the box".
what happend for me is that I lost all tick in the box for every presets Arc calibration when I made the sw update. When I after update tticked the right Arc calibration to my different presets I found the bass response dissapear alot.
Michael:Just to clarify, you also updated today to .527? Or you also found an instant sound difference with the firmware you’ve had a few weeks now? I like the explanation of 20-50 and feel about the same. Very weird. But also, I felt my 50 sounded very good when I got them and that they somehow lost something after a few days of setting settings. Maybe it was a bug that caused worse than expected sound quality (still good though) and the new firmware perhaps remedies this. Just a thought and nothing more.

Razlaw:I am still on .257. My speakers have not yet shown .527 as available. The improvement in sound occurred when I updated to to 3.0.0.257 from 2.0..........don’t remember the exact version.

Both my Lab 90s and Lab 50s are still on version 2.3.4.7045 and not showing an update as available. Is there some kind of special trick to get this new software? Do you specifically have to request it, and if so, from whom?

Thanks for the feedback. Wonder when they'll show up on my speakers?

Michael:For me it came after sending my serial numbers and asking about updates.
I might try the same. Which email address did you use, or was this via Facebook?

Thanks! I'll drop them an email.
I have now downloaded and installed sw 3.0.0.527. According to my dealer this is an officiel release and not a Beta sw. Everything works as it should after the update BUT I can not hear that sound quality should be better. It just sounds as it did before. I have very sensitive ears and are used to and skilled to hear very small differences in sound quality. But I can not hear any change in sound image.
What exactly do you guys feel is the difference in sound image between this new software and the old one?
