I worked on the motor drive design for the aerial and cd loader mechanism of this device. The aerial was a real pain to achieve the smooth glide without any hint of juddering which is eventually achieved using B&O s custom hard anodising finish and a version of teflon linear bearings. The aerial has a slight radius domed finished to the top that matches the EN standard finger dimension. The unit has a finger grip just above the cd loading tray to assist with single handed transportation. The led display is hidden behind a black acoustic gauze that both hides the display and diffuses the led lights making them appear as joined up. The front grilles are interchangable for the different colours by B&O service. The sound quality is not particularl;y high end audio but very pleasing and surprising quality for such a small box which is achieved with quite a labaryinth of molded in ducting for the bass unit. I do not own one but still quite fancy an overture as they are more iconic B&O
Thanks for sharing on the design. I have one of these I picked up preowned, and had it restored. It sounds really good and has surprising bass. I compared it to the Apple Hi-Fi and this seems to have a much nicer sound and bass presence. I have it integrated into my Sonos with aux adaptor that Steve recommends. Curious to see how this sounds next to a Beosound Level.
I am glad that people enjoy the sound from the small box although not Audiophile and apart from the top end B&O equipment this probably applies to most B&O equipment they are not really designed for that but to present a good quality audio reproduction with a degree of styling and ease of use. Yes the bass is surprisingly deep and well defined -controlled and at an appropriate level for enjoyment whether on low or high volume. It does make use of the built in what used to be called Loudness function on other equipment but B&O's is an active version that mutes the effect as the volume is increased. I am not a personal fan of it but have to admit it does sound pleasing. I would be interested to know if the aerial up down motion retained its smooth action having spent several months working with the Danish mechanical engineer on trying to perfect it I seem to recall it ended up with a modified version of B&O patented super hard anodising on the rod and PTFE slide bearings along with a sprung loaded tensioned tooth belt actuator for the motion. No oil grease or lubricant used so should last until it wears out.
Yes, I can report that the aerial on the unit that I tried was silent and smooth in operation! I found the sound to be pleasant and enjoyable, maybe not an audiophile tone but really nice to listen to
I bought my first B&O system during christmas, it is a Beocenter 9500 with Boelab Penta 2. Now comes all the recaping and refoaming work on the speakers, can't wait for that to be finished.
Looks a solid unit Steve and I imagine not particularly expensive as used . An excellent first introduction to BnO and how flexible a unit of you connected to a core !!
I have the Beolab 4000 (2002) connected via phono to the tv, with a KOSS line-in volume controller (vol. wheel). Better than MANY new active speakers regarding Design (white), price and sound ❤️
Another great feature of the AUX input is that if paired with a B&O cassette deck like a Beocord 6500 not only will it playback tapes but it can also record from the CD or Radio of the Besound 1
Hi Steve, I just bought one and with a cd it sounds amazing! But I cannot plug in the radio antenna cable anywhere since there is no more analog signal coming from “the wall” any antenna ideas to make the radio work? Hoping to hear from you. Kind regards. Dion
You can always add an external digital radio tuner or music streamer via the Aux input if you don’t have FM radio in your area, please ask at soundsheavenly.com if you need help with cables for either option
Hi, here is the cable you need: soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/67-298-minijack-to-aux-in-ipod-to-beosound-beomaster-beocenter-using-aux-din-socket.html#/2-length-1m
Hi Joe, if you have the version of Beosound 1 in this video with a CD player built in(not the later wireless Beosound 1) then you can play the Ouverture to it with this cable from the Ouverture headphone jack: soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/67-298-minijack-to-aux-in-ipod-to-beosound-beomaster-beocenter-using-aux-din-socket.html#/2-length-1m
Thank you Steve for this video, was my first B&O item 15 or so years ago and now have one in each room, yes I like them so much. Only negative is keeping track of the PINS. Has anyone any experience in external highish end CD players linked to the BS1 as one of my units has developed a fault to the CD mechanism. Overall a superb item, pure B&O. Thank you for the cables linking a BV7 to a BeoLab soundbar.
Yes these are great products, you can easily add an external DC player via the Aux input with this cable: soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/52-72-stereo-rca-twin-phono-to-beosound-aux-input-din-socket.html#/2-length-1m
I seem to recall that the pin code be turned off as you can imagine during development of the units the PIN was more than irritating. Unfortunately I can not remember what value the PIN was to stop it from working?
Yes, the PIN code can be turned off, but only by entering the correct code. You will need to contact your B&O dealer with proof of purchase if you don’t have the code
The cd mechanism should be the Philips cd pro which is mechanically very robust with die cast ali body and chrome slider bearings. It is common to the overture family and even the multi disc player.. However you have to watch if you buy a replacement as there are 2 versions with different sw and different data interface.
@@soundsheavenly thanks Steve there was a bit of a debate about the pin over ride code whether it should bein the production unit or not. In won as the unit is portable and that meant each power cycle required the pin re entry. You can imagine if you were design testing modifying the electronics and mechanics for weeks on end you grew to hate the Pin code🤣
I’m sure that this speaker reproduces excellent sound, to an extent. But can it reproduce traditional left and right channel stereo, which is how most entertainment media is created, particularly music media?
Hi, yes this speaker produces full stereo sound. You won't get a traditional wide sound stage from any single-box speaker, but you do get the stereo effect due to the left and right drivers being well separated and pointed outwards to expand the sound stage.
Hey Steve. I have watched many of your videos recently, and I think it was kind of funny when you visited the candystore (Bremdal radio) in Denmark. I bought my first B&O produkt in 1976 ( Beomaster 1900, Beogram 6000, Beocord 5000, and 2 Beovox S60). Today I use my Beosound 9000 mk.2 and Beolab 1 and 2. And now to my question. Is there a Big difference between the Sound from Beolab 5 and my setup? With best regards Helge Jakobsen, Skive, Denmark
Hey Helge, thanks for watching my videos! I loved visiting the store in Bremdal, that is a wonderful place. Beolab 5 are incredible speakers, they are a big step up from anything else that B&O made at the time. You really do need to hear them, but once you have heard them you will want to buy them...
Hi Steve! What would you recommend for a first stereo B&O purchase? I already have a Beosound 2 (2nd. gen), but I’m not sure I enjoy it that much in stereo when I try them paired at my local store. I mostly stream music, but I would also love to buy a record player at some point. I have considered buying older products and connect them to a core maybe(?). I don’t have a lot of space, and floor standing speakers will be difficult. Do you have any recommendations, older or current? Thank you!
Hi, if you check out my recent video covering all the current B&O speakers with Alfie from B&O Nottingham, this should help you to see the options available. Here is the link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/712JfPtPdlU/v-deo.html
I am sorry that I don't stock any B&O spare parts or offer repairs, as I just make cables. I suggest contacting Multi Care at www.multicare.org.uk for B&O parts or repair advice. If you need any cables for your B&O system once you have got this working, please ask and I will be happy to help!
@@anhminh1286 You can only get the code from the seller or from a B&O dealer, no-one else can get the code for you. The B&O store may ask for proof that you are the legal owner of the item, eg. receipt or invoice.
Power units seem to be a weak spot on these after 20 years. Recommend recapping if it’s in your price range or looking aftermarket for a power board replacement.
Steve - possible to ask a B&O specific question here ? I own a 1998 Beosound Century and a BEO4 remote. I cant sync the remote with the Beosound. I have searched and tried a few suggestions but still can't get them synced. Any suggestions please ?

Can I use this with the new Apple TV 4k connected with HDMI ARC to a TV and a currently available Airport 2 streamer like the WiiM Mini or similar without getting lipsync-delay for movie-watching? If so, is there any cheap streamer you could recommend? Will it work without lipsync problems even if I have two BL 8000-speakers connected? If so, can I still control volume with both my TV remote and Beo 4 Remote? Huge thanks for eny help or suggestions! Best regards /Johannes

B&O if you’re listening I have a question. It’s confusing because in the United States I have the B&O upgrade for my Ford truck, but OTOH it’s not possible to listen to your speakers in person. I just ordered the Beolit 20 speaker and enjoy it very much. I think the sound is very nice. But strangely in the states here, it’s hard to find anyone that sells your Bluetooth speakers. I wish more retailers would carry them so people can listen to them before they make a decision. I think you would give competitors like HK and Bose a run for their money.
I know that B&O do watch my videos, so I hope they will take your comments on board. They are opening up a number of new stores in the States, so hopefully there will be a store near to you very soon. Glad you like Beolit 20, this is a great speaker!
@@soundsheavenly Good to know about the new stores. I think there’s an untapped market of people who want more than a $200 small, average quality speaker but don’t want to spend thousands on a whole system. Most of these portable speakers are marketed to the crowd who wants more bass at all costs.
Congratulations Steve, great review! You are made for this sort of thing. In the future, please could you provide us with the following things: 1) TELL US THE UPSIDES AND DOWNSIDES OF THE SOUND QUALITY. 2) GIVE IT A STAR RATING FOR PERFORMANCE ((e.g. 4 stars or 5 stars)) Finally, it would be fascinating to plug up both 8000 speakers to it using your cables, and play it on camera for us the viewers to hear. ((I wonder if it would sound as good as the 8000’s connected to a Beosound 3000 unit??))
Thanks! I am sorry that I couldn’t give a full sound test in this review as the store was on a main road and was quite noisy. I will certainly try to follow up with a sound test in a future video if I can get the speaker to my workshop!
The cd player uses the same integrated mechanism from Philips as used on their cd juke boxes the radio is specific to the unit and is as good as any other B&O device but has enhanced radio reception and selection over previous units. Not sure if the external aerial socket made it from prototype into production but the development testing proved it was more than sensitive enough for most locationswithout the external aerial. In fact it worked quite well with the aerial down or up.
@@andrewmackay2001 Yes the external aerial socket (under the base of the unit) made it into production, so the internal aerial can be changed to an external one when required

@@Backwardlooking Thanks for your purchases! Please feel free to get in touch via the contact page at soundsheavenly.com and I can help with your enquiry, this is a bit too detailed to cover in UA-cam comments!
Honestly, all of B&O products look amazing but they sound kinda cheap (not even close to the original recording with boomy bass and some harshness in most of their speakers that I've heard), considering that I can get a Vifa speaker for the price, B&O doesn't really make sense. 🤔

I have one of these with the stand and different colour grilles. Given today’s Gloom and Doom political‘reporting I don’t use it with the radio.
I agree, it is still great for music radio stations and CDs though!
@@soundsheavenly I’ve purchased your cables many times for systems going back as far as the Original Beolab 5000 & Beolit 1000 of the early 80’s. If I purchased a Playmaker and the RJ45-5 Din and don’t use the Ethernet connection with my iOS iPad how will it connect and play from Spotify on my wireless speakers such as my Beolit 17 orBeoplay P6 without the B.&O. App which I don’t use relying instead on Bluetooth?. Thank you for your time and help.👍🏴

@@soundsheavenly Tat is using any system’s 5 pin aux or tape socket?
@@Backwardlooking Thanks for your purchases! Please feel free to get in touch via the contact page at soundsheavenly.com and I can help with your enquiry, this is a bit too detailed to cover in UA-cam comments!

Why is bang& olufsen no longer in north america? They closed the Toronto store and I cant get service no more
Sorry, I don't know, I don't work for B&O! I suggest asking B&O via their website...
Honestly, all of B&O products look amazing but they sound kinda cheap (not even close to the original recording with boomy bass and some harshness in most of their speakers that I've heard), considering that I can get a Vifa speaker for the price, B&O doesn't really make sense. 🤔
Which B&O products have you heard? That certainly doesn't match my experience of B&O...
