10 Cleaning the BeoLab 1

The BeoLab 1 loudspeaker is

separated in two boxes: one

containing the loudspeaker column,

and the other the base plate.

This User’s guide describes how to

assemble the BeoLab 1 loudspeaker

column and base plate, how to

connect the BeoLab 1 loudspeaker,

and how to adjust it to your

surroundings. Likewise, the guide

gives some advice on how to place

the BeoLab 1.

4How to set up the BeoLab 1 loudspeaker

We recommend that you follow this

procedure when setting up the

BeoLab 1 loudspeaker:

1 Finish unpacking and assemble

the column and base plate as

described on page 5.

2 Disconnect your Bang & Olufsen

system from the mains.

3 Connect your loudspeaker as

described on pages 6–7.

4 Set the L•R•LINE switch and

the Speaker Position switch to

the correct setting on each

BeoLab 1 as described on pages

8–9.

5 Lift the assembled BeoLab 1 off

the packing materials, and place

it. As for the placement of each

speaker, please refer to pages

8–9.

6 Connect both loudspeakers (and

your system) to the mains – and

enjoy!

Before you start…

Here we have a list of things which should

be considered before setting up the

BeoLab 1:

• Make sure that the BeoLab 1 is set up

(placed and connected) in accordance with the

instructions in this Guide.

• Always place your BeoLab 1 on a firm and

stable surface.

• The BeoLab 1 is designed for indoor use in

dry, domestic environments only, and for use

within a temperature range of 10–40°C (50–

105°F).

• Remember that all speakers in a setup need a

connection to a mains outlet, and that they, in

order to switch on automatically, are designed

to be connected to the mains at all times.

• Do not turn the power on for any units in

your system, until after you have all the cables

plugged in (pages 6–7).

• On the top of the BeoLab 1 is a small recess.

This is for ventilation of the powerful BeoLab 1

amplifiers. Do not cover up this recess (and do

not use it as ‘a carrying handle’ when moving

your BeoLab 1 loudspeaker).

• Do not attempt to open your BeoLab 1.

Leave such operations to qualified service

personnel.

to the panel with the sockets and switches.

The use and purpose of the sockets and

switches is described on pages 7–9.

Assemble the column and base plate

To prevent the column from being

scratched, we recommend that you

do not remove the foamy wrapping

completely. Just un-wrap it at the

bottom-end of the column to get

access to the screw holes, socket

panel, etc.

Due to the weight of the base

plate, it is packed in a separate box.

Open the box with the base plate,

find the bag with the screws and

the Allen key, then assemble the

column and base plate as

illustrated.

Assembly: While the BeoLab is still lying on

the packaging, lift it up at the base-end and

place an extra piece of packaging material

underneath.

Fix the base plate into place. The groove for the

cables must point downwards (A), and the base

plate guiding pin will engage the corresponding

hole in bottom part of the column. Fasten the

base with the six screws provided.

Rubber feet adjustment: To compensate for an

uneven floor surface the BeoLab 1 base plate

has been fitted with six adjustable rubber feet

(indicated by the little arrows).

Adjust if appropriate, but wait until you have

raised and placed the loudspeaker.

BeoLab 1 front

6Connect your loudspeakers

You gain access to the BeoLab 1

socket panel through the base

plate.

So, connect the cables (and set the

two switches) while the BeoLab 1

is still lying on the packaging.

The setting of the L•R•LINE

switch is explained on this page,

and the setting of the Speaker

Position switch is explained on

pages 8–9.

Use the overview on the next page

and the graphics imprinted on the

socket panel for reference, when

locating the sockets and switches.

Note: To make a neat installation,

we suggest that you run the cables

through the cable cover as

explained on the next page.

…to a Bang & Olufsen product

Connect the BeoLab 1 to your audio (or

video) system using the enclosed 8-pin

Power Link cable:

• Plug one end of the cable into one of the

sockets marked POWER LINK on the BeoLab 1,

and the other end into any one of the two

sockets marked POWER LINK on the audio

or video system (please refer to the Guide

for the system in question).

• The switch marked L•R•LINE must be set

to either Lor R:

Lfor the left-hand speaker/sound channel;

set the switch to its utmost left position.

Rfor the right-hand speaker/sound channel;

set the switch to its middle position.

Looping the signals through from speaker

to speaker…

To avoid cables running from both loud-

speakers to your system, you can loop the

signal through from speaker to speaker:

• Connect one BeoLab 1 loudspeaker to your

system as previously described, e.g. the left-

hand speaker.

• Make a connection from the first BeoLab 1 to

the other one, using the second Power Link

socket.

You may connect more than one pair of

BeoLab 1 speakers to your system (as many

as ten pairs, in fact). You just have to run a

Power Link cable from speaker to speaker.

Remember though, to set the L•R•LINE

switch to the proper position for the left-

and right-hand speakers, respectively.

…to a non-Bang & Olufsen

product

The phono socket marked LINE must be

used instead of the Power Link sockets if

the BeoLab 1 is to be connected to a non-

Bang & Olufsen product (using e.g. a cable,

part no. 6270595). The signal must be on a

regulated low-voltage level.

• Connect one speaker to each of the sound

channels.

• The switch marked L•R•LINE must, in this

case, be set to LINE on both speakers (set the

switch to its utmost right position).

…to the mains

Connect the enclosed mains cord to the

socket marked POWER, but do not connect

it to the wall socket yet.

Running the cables

You might find it easier to “thread” the

cables into the enclosed cable cover before

you connect them to the BeoLab 1.

Cable cover: Use the enclosed tool to “zip up”

the cable cover when you have placed both the

mains cord and the Power Link cable inside it.

8Adapt the BeoLab 1 to its surroundings

The BeoLab 1 can be placed almost

anywhere in your room. However,

the most natural sound and best

stereo perspective is obtained if

the BeoLab 1 is set up according to

the guidelines on these two pages.

To filter out the natural bass boost

obtained if a loudspeaker is placed

e.g. in a corner – compared to a

more freestanding position – the

BeoLab 1 has a three-position

switch referred to as the Speaker

Position switch.

Note: As the Power Link cable

carries both the left and the right

sound channel it is important that

you remember to set the

L•R•LINE switch to the correct

setting on each of the loudspeakers

(further explained on p. 6).

Setting the speaker Position

switch

The purpose of the Speaker Position switch

is to ensure that the bass level suits the

placement of the BeoLab 1, and thus the

surroundings. Which switch position to

choose depends on the distance from the

BeoLab 1 to the walls and corners of the

room.

The Speaker Position switch has three

settings:

• FREESTANDING: This is the neutral setting,

i.e. no filtering at all. Use this setting if the

BeoLab 1 is placed more than 40 cm from

the wall (shown by the large lightest grey

area in the overview on the next page).

However, we recommend that you do not

place the BeoLab 1 more than approx. 1 m

away from the wall as this gives a lower

bass output.

• AGAINST WALL: The next level of filtering. Use

this setting if the BeoLab 1 is placed closer

than 40 cm to a wall, and no closer to a

corner than 130 cm (shown by the light grey

areas along the walls in the overview).

• IN CORNER: This is the setting with the most

filtering. Use this setting if the BeoLab 1 is

placed in a corner (shown by the darkest

grey areas in the overview).

The examples, and the dimensions shown,

are meant as guidelines only. You may, of

course, set the switch to any of the three

positions you prefer.

How to measure? The measurements are

both ‘taken’ from the edge of the BeoLab 1

bottom plate which is placed closest to the

wall (the zone along the walls of the room is

approx. the width of the BeoLab 1 bottom

plate).

Example 1: The loudspeakers are placed in one

end of the room (but not against the wall), and

not near the side walls. Thus, the Speaker

Position switch should be set to FREESTANDING

on both the left- and right-hand loudspeaker.

Example 2: One loudspeaker is placed against

the wall, and the other is placed in a corner of

the room.

Speaker L: Should be set to AGAINST WALL.

Speaker R: Should be set to IN CORNER.

Example 3: As in example 2, one loudspeaker

is placed against the wall, and the other is

placed in a corner. The shape of the room has

no influence on the settings.

Speaker L: Should be set to AGAINST WALL.

Speaker R: Should be set to IN CORNER.

Placement/listening position. To obtain the

most natural sound and best stereo perspective

set up your favourite listening position

according to the guidelines shown here.

10 Daily use

When you have finished setting up

your BeoLab 1, connect your entire

Bang & Olufsen system to the mains.

The stand-by indicator lights up in

red, indicating that the BeoLab 1 is

in stand-by, ready to be used.

As the BeoLab 1 speakers are

designed to be left in stand-by mode

when not in use, i.e. the power

should not be switched off at the

switch on the wall.

Please note: The BeoLab 1 is

designed to protect itself if the loud-

speaker units or the amplifiers

become overheated. The loud-

speaker protection circuits will

become active after a period of

playing very loud music, etc. at a

high level.

Switching on and off –indicator

When you switch on your music system, the

BeoLab 1 loudspeakers switch on simul-

taneously. The red stand-by indicator light

turns green, indicating that the speakers

are switched on.

When you switch off your system, or mute

the sound, the red indicator light appears

immediately, indicating that the BeoLab 1

speakers are not in use.

If the BeoLab 1 speakers are connected to a

non-Bang & Olufsen system – via the phono

socket (LINE) – they switch on automatically

when a signal is received from the system.

They switch off automatically a few

minutes after the signal has disappeared.

Loudspeaker protection

If the loudspeaker units become overheated,

the BeoLab 1 will instantly reduce the sound

level. When the situation has stabilised, the

sound level is slowly returned to normal. If

the loudspeaker is played constantly at such

a high level, the BeoLab 1 will eventually

mute the sound completely.

If the amplifier units become overheated,

the BeoLab 1 will reduce the sound level

and mute.

Should the BeoLab 1 mute, the sound will

fade and the indicator light turn red.

To restore the sound:

• Disconnect the BeoLab 1 from the mains.

• Allow the loudspeakers and amplifiers time

to cool off.

• Reconnect the BeoLab 1 to the mains.

Should the problem persist, please contact

your Bang & Olufsen dealer.

Cleaning the BeoLab 1

Clean the surfaces of the BeoLab 1 using a

soft, lint-free cloth which you have wrung

firmly in a solution of lukewarm water

containing a few drops of for example a

dish washing detergent.

The front speaker cloth may be cleaned

with a vacuum cleaner, set to the lowest

level.

Note: Never use alcohol or other solvents to

clean any part of your BeoLab 1!
