Our beolab 6000 is also had some problems in the woofers. I was so happy to watch your video and I finally got a lot of informations how to repair my audio
This was excellent. It's the exact sound problem that I have! I guess there's hope for me for returning my Beosound 4000 system back to it's original incredible sound. Cheers.
Great video. I've done a few refoaming of speakers recently you did one thing wrong and that must have left alot of glue residue. The way i do it I put glue on upper side and lower side of surround then straight onto speaker and done. You put on one side then brush glue on other side whilst one side was glued down which left alot of glue this was wrong. My way you have to do it quickly before glue dries but no glue residue also i use less glue. This is just better for cosmetic appearence. Great job.
I am new to bang & Olufsen and bought these 6000 speakers and when I play a song with a lot of bass the one speaker crackles hisses and you can hear the vibration do I need this rubber seal repair or could it be something else as I am not sure I could tackle something like this. Although I am good with my hands etc do a lot of crafts jus scared of damaging something or not being able to put back reconnect.
Anyone who follows this video, should also remove the "rotten foam" decomposing inside the speaker. it is conducting while decomposing and once gets contact with the PCB's will etch away their copper and cause malfunction. Very important! Also the Electrolytic capacitors on the PCB's need replacement. They have dried out and do no longer have their original values = distorted sound. Also, some trimmers are not good, and need replacement. Once all this is done = job done!
Thanks for the great instructional! Did you reuse the gaskets or install new ones? If you didn't use any, are the surrounds holding up? Gotta say salvaging the gaskets was a huge pain. If the speakers preform well over time without them I'm thinking of skipping them when replacing the surrounds on my 8000's. Thanks again ;)
Can you explain please how to replace the metal wire on my Beosound 3200 that opens and closes the glass doors. Also recommend where I can buy new wire ? Thank you
Thank you for the advice! I have done some refoaming in the past and am now working on my Beolab 6000: My question: There's a cardbord ring that holds the surrounds in place on the frame. On other speakers, I'd carefully remove it and put it back in place after replacing the surrounds. With the Beos, I don't think I'll be able to take them out without destroying them. It seems you just removed the rings without replacing them after the surrounds were mounted. Is that right? I'll try it that way too, if it worked for you.
Kai, I removed the gaskets on my BL 6000's by carefully working a thin xacto blade with a narrow profile around the surround. Start on the sides, there is no lip to deal with. Carefully work these areas free 1st. Angle the blade slightly toward the plastic body of the speaker. Take care not to use too severe an angle or the blade will bite into the plastic. I worked the areas at the top and bottom where a lip is located by working with the blade facing toward the lip, wiggling it 40 deg from either side of the lip, meeting in the middle. Don't rush. I spent a good 5 min on each gasket.
Thanks for your reaction. I could not save these cardboard rings, They broke apart. I wander if it has a real function. I don't mis it in the sound. I did not know where to get replacements. Regards Paul
Hello, Happy New Year 2016! Greetings from Canada :) Very interesting and helpful video. I was very happy to see someone do this. Can you please tell me where did you buy replacement foam, glue etc that you needed for repair? How is sound quality after replacement? From online forums I heard mixed reviews. Most of them they said sound is not so great anymore. How is your feedback? Did you have to calibrate them? I have same problem now with my woofers foam is cracked hairline as well. How much was total cost for your experience and what was the best source for spare parts? B&O store wants $500+ for replacement new speakers and they said that they have to calibrate them as well. Please let me know. Thank You very much. Regards, Mike
+LeskoSpeedway Thanks for your positive reaction. I bought the foam at www.speakerrepairshop.nl The site is also in English language. It is the webshop of the site www.goodhifi.com This was my first refoaming. I hope this helps you, good luck!
Thanks for your update. How do you like speakers sound now are you happy with performance? Do you think it will sound better if you recone foam on top? Your suggestions for me would be to put foams on top? Please let me know soon as i get foam would like to know what is better way of doing it. Thanks again. Regards, Mike
+LeskoSpeedway The original quality returned as far as I am able to just that. I don't think there will be a sound difference between foaming on top or underneath the cone. Roaming on top is a lot easier. The B&O was original refoamed underneath. Next time I would put the foam on top of the cone and not underneath the cone.

Thanks for posting this very useful reference.
Great video, I also enjoy listening to Jean Michel Jarre on my own Bang & Olufsen speakers. Always sounds heavenly 👌😊
Well done. Thanks!
Hopefully doing this on Monday 🤞🏻

Did you remove the old surround material from the underside of the cone before gluing the new surround to the underside of the cone??

Thank you for your comment on removing the gasket! I'll try that.
Where we could buy the spare parts and any particular brand glue you recommend?
Can you explain please how to replace the metal wire on my Beosound 3200 that opens and closes the glass doors. Also recommend where I can buy new wire ?
Thank you
Thank you for the information given in this video! Where did you get the spare parts?
I got the parts from www.goodhifi.com.
Don't you have to adjust the db or dash bell?
Thank you for the advice!

Hey we're did you get the gaskets
Hello, I just bought this speaker. The seller said you can connect to the phone, but I can't connect, what could be the reason?
What brand of glue did you use? I want to try to fix my speakers soon!
I used glue from www.goodhifi.com. It is dedicated for these kind of repair. If you put it on it is milky but it dries colorless transparant.
My 6000 beolab 1 of the transformer went out i cant seem to find one. Help can someone please help

By the way, next time I would put the foam on top of the cone and not underneath the cone as is the original B&O.
Thanks for your update.

wat music is this
On the first part I used Oxygene part2. On the main part I used music from "The famous Unknowns", a local street band I bought a CD from.
