BeoLab LCS 9000

BeoLab LCS 9000

BeoLab 3500 was the first-ever dedicated Beolink® speaker ever released from Bang & Olufsen.

At first it was designated LCS 9000 (Local Control System 9000 from 1992 to 1993) and was manufactured for the old Beolink® system, Master Control Link. But since one of Bang & Olufsen’s great advantages is compatibility it was of course already prepared for the new Master Link system.

Being a Beolink® speaker it houses all the electronics within it required to work as a part in a Beolink® system. No additional boxes are needed – only a cable between the hi-fi and the speaker. Even an infra-red transceiver is built in. BeoLab 3500 also has a display and a digital clock built in.

BeoLab 3500 is an active loudspeaker with two speakers for stereo sound and an integrated Beolink® receiver-unit complements the unit. It has been specially designed for the distribution of sound to rooms in which one moves around a lot, such as the kitchen. For the bedroom, a workshop, basement or even a children’s room, a BeoLab 3500 could be the right solution with full remote control via Beo4. A dedicated Beolink® loudspeaker, it fits into its standard bracket on the wall, on top of a book case, or over the door in the dining room. Its red LED display keeps you informed about which source you are playing.

With two bass and treble loudspeakers, each with its own amplifier, the sound level can be adjusted independently of the other loudspeakers in the system. Hang BeoLab 3500 on the wall on its standard wall bracket or use the optional polished aluminium stand to display it on a shelf or table.

“When it comes to sound reproduction we believe there’s only one relevant parameter: How close can we come to the originally recorded sound. We feel an obligation not to disturb the intentions of the artist by adding unnatural elements to the acoustic image. Therefore all Bang & Olufsen loudspeakers share the same goal. They differ in size and shape and in terms of sound pressure level. But they are all developed to reproduce the natural, unaltered sound as closely as possible “ – Bang & Olufsen catalogue 2001 – 2002

BeoLab 3500 as part of a Beolink® system:

BeoLab 3500 is an integrated link-room active loudspeaker comprising a Master Link (ML) connection, an IR receiver and a digital display. BeoLab 3500 also has Master Control Link (MCL) connection and a built-in clock.

BeoLab 3500 is supplied with a mains lead, a Master Link cable and a bracket for wall mounting is available as an optional accessory.

Application

BeoLab 3500 is used in link rooms where you wish to have an integrated active speaker. From the BeoLab 3500 it is possible to listen to both audio and video sources from the main room. There is built-in sound control, which means that tone, volume, balance and loudness controls can be adjusted independently of the main room.

BeoLab LCS 9000 FAQs

  • If I have an LCS9000 with version 1.0 software, can I also upgrade it to the latest version 2.1
    • Yes!
  • How can determine the software version of my Beolab 3500?
    • Answer With the Beolab 3500 in standby, using the Beolink 1000, press MENU, then 0, then 0, then PLAY.
    • The software version will be displayed, if you use the up arrow it will then show A xxxxx where the value is audio hours x10 in use, then next up arrow will show B xxxxx the same for Video and the next mark C xxxxx will show the standby time. Press STOP to exit the service menu.
  • When I enter the service menu using the instructions above it does not work.
    • That means you have version 2 software or above installed. So you must press the MENU button twice. The first time you press the MENU button you will see the timer value. So you press MENU, then MENU, then 0, then 0, then PLAY
  • What are the component parts that make up the software upgrade ?
    • You are actually replacing PCB 3 which is the Microprocessor and memory all in one module.
  • When I purchased my LCS9000, I was told it could only be used with MCL (Master Control Link), is this true ?
    • No, All units from day one shipment had both MCL and Master Link, however on the LCS9000’s the masterlink socket was covered with a black plug which made it appear that it only had MCL.
    • To use the MasterLink you need to remove the black plug and enable it via a service menu command. To get into the service menu to switch between ML & MCL press MENU then MENU then 0 then 2 then PLAY, then use the up arrow to switch, then store
  • Can both the Master Link and the MCL be used at the same time?
    • NO, it is one or the other. By defualt all LCS900’s were shipped enabled for MCL and all Beolab 3500’s were all shipped enabled for Master Link.
  • What functions will I notice different between version 2.0 and version 2.1?
    • If you use the SAT or DTV button on your Beo4, then it will now show DTV in the display.
  • What is the part number of the software or Microprocessor upgrade
    • The part number is 8006009
  • Other than software versions, what are the differences between the LCS9000 and the BeoLab 3500?
    • Nothing except the marketing of the product and the user manual!

What’s my Bang & Olufsen worth?

What’s my Bang & Olufsen worth?

Values?

Its always very difficult to give an exact value for used Bang & Olufsen products as tastes and fashions change regularly. However, you can be rest assured that Bang & Olufsen products (in general) hold their money well compared to other brands.

The best way to get an indication of the current market price is to look at places such as eBay UK making sure to check the sol prices rather than what is currently for sale. Do a product search, but remember not to take one price as gospel.. Each auction end value for the same product can sometimes differ wildly for no apparent reason (mainly due to an excellent description and photos on a particular listing or a bidding war between potential buyers!) – so its always best to work out an “average value”. You can also get a rough idea from pre-owned Bang & Olufsen specialists, and part exchange products that Official Dealers are clearing – but remember these people offer guarantees and have overheads so prices may be slightly higher than a private sale.

Condition

One thing to always remember about Bang & Olufsen is that Condition is Everything. People who buy B&O are generally perfectionists when it comes to their AV – so expect a lot less than market price if the item is in poor condition. On the flip side – if you have an absolutely Mint Condition product, you can more often than not attract a premium. Mint Condition means not a mark on it though… some peoples ideas of Mint can really vary!!

One last thing to remember is to clean the products before you offer them for sale. So many times people offer for sale a dusty, dirty and fingerprint covered piece of Bang & Olufsen and wonder why nobody wants to buy it. A little time spent carefully cleaning will pay dividends!

BeoVision Capri KJ

BeoVision Capri KJ

Once the post-War TV boom was over, many of the manufacturers which had emerged during the 1950s disappeared, frequently because the market had become saturated. Others, including B&O, survived because of their foresight. They had begun to focus on other product areas.

Beovision Capri TV was as a result of this foresightedness. It came in various guises, including the Capri KJ (1962 – 1965), Capri SJ/FM (1961 – 1965), Capri Moderne (1963 to 1965) and Capri KL (1964 – 1965), Capri TV 611 FM (introduced 1964)

B&O engineers, for instance, had seen that transistors would replace radio tubes – and realised that a new and exciting future lay before them. Radio with FM, stereophonic music and, perhaps later, even colour TV.

The television of the 1950s had every chance of becoming popular – and it did. Capri was an elegant little television that was available with a trolley, with fixed legs or as a shelf model. The cabinet was made of teak or high-gloss walnut, as used in furniture production. Because of innovations in the furniture industry in the use of materials, more and more furniture was being made of teak, but the products of the radio sector were walnut. Bang & Olufsen needed to adapt the products to the furniture that people had bought for their homes. Teak became popular. Over the next 6-7 years, Bang & Olufsen changed the selection of materials for its products from walnut to teak. Later, the more exclusive Brazilian rosewood came in the 1960s as an alternative to teak -cabinets. Capri was available in two different sizes, 17 or 21 inches.

One of the first major lessons learned about television was that reflected light could spoil the picture. People would often switch off the light in the room to give the picture some contrast while watching television. To protect their eyesight, people were advised to leave one lamp on in the room. To counter this problem, a solution was developed in the form of the ‘Bang & Olufsen Spectral Filter’ in anti-reflection curtains. It was a slightly tilted greyish screen in front of the picture tube. “Your eyes are protected and you can enjoy the programmes in a living room with full illumination,” the 1959 sales brochure stated. The spectral screen was a simplified version of what is today called the contrast screen.

Once the post-War TV boom was over, many of the manufacturers which had emerged during the 1950s disappeared, frequently because the market had become saturated. Others, including B&O, survived because of their foresight. They had begun to focus on other product areas.

Beovision Capri TV was as a result of this foresightedness. It came in various guises, including the Capri KJ (1962 – 1965), Capri SJ/FM (1961 – 1965), Capri Moderne (1963 to 1965) and Capri KL (1964 – 1965), Capri TV 611 FM (introduced 1964)

B&O engineers, for instance, had seen that transistors would replace radio tubes – and realised that a new and exciting future lay before them. Radio with FM, stereophonic music and, perhaps later, even colour TV.

The television of the 1950s had every chance of becoming popular – and it did. Capri was an elegant little television that was available with a trolley, with fixed legs or as a shelf model. The cabinet was made of teak or high-gloss walnut, as used in furniture production. Because of innovations in the furniture industry in the use of materials, more and more furniture was being made of teak, but the products of the radio sector were walnut. Bang & Olufsen needed to adapt the products to the furniture that people had bought for their homes. Teak became popular. Over the next 6-7 years, Bang & Olufsen changed the selection of materials for its products from walnut to teak. Later, the more exclusive Brazilian rosewood came in the 1960s as an alternative to teak -cabinets. Capri was available in two different sizes, 17 or 21 inches.

One of the first major lessons learned about television was that reflected light could spoil the picture. People would often switch off the light in the room to give the picture some contrast while watching television. To protect their eyesight, people were advised to leave one lamp on in the room. To counter this problem, a solution was developed in the form of the ‘Bang & Olufsen Spectral Filter’ in anti-reflection curtains. It was a slightly tilted greyish screen in front of the picture tube. “Your eyes are protected and you can enjoy the programmes in a living room with full illumination,” the 1959 sales brochure stated. The spectral screen was a simplified version of what is today called the contrast screen.
