Bang & Olufsen - BeoVox RL 35 DIY Active Speaker

Bang & Olufsen - BeoVox RL 35
This video shows how I transformed my passive RL 35 speakers to Active Bluetooth.
Let me know what you think

Wow! Really love it ❤️ you did a great job 👍

[@BangOlufsenHome]

Thank you so much

Use a piece of scotch tape wrapped around the end of your finger and touch it to tweeter dome to pop it back out.

Thank you I will try that.

[@BangOlufsenHome]

I did it thank you!!!!

Assuming that the speaker drivers are 8 ohm, then a 12V power supply will only provide roughly 1.5 amps of current, and your power output to the speakers will be limited to probably 15W. That assumes that the power supply can provide that sort of current output at 12V.

[@BangOlufsenHome]

You are awesome the speaker drivers are 8 ohm 35 Watt as per spec of RL 35. The DC power is 12v at .5 amps, the module provider says they support 8-24v but did not mention amperage. So are you suggesting that if I use a 24 v adapter the speaker will output 35W?

[@scottjarriel6761]

It's more about the available current output than the voltage of the power supply. Look for a 12v supply that can deliver 2 amps or a bit more. The sound level you will perceive with a power supply delivering 35w will be little different from what you will perceive at 18w (only 3dB louder). Because of the logarithmic nature of sound level perception, you would need a 10x increase in power input to perceive a doubling of the sound output.

@scottjarriel6761 thank you so much will give it a try

Really nice project,well done.i want to try something simulare with beovox cx50. I see you have beolab 3. Is it true that there is no spare parts available?

[@BangOlufsenHome]

@@yvindFriksen thank you so much. I love my Beolab 3's both look and sound wise, and yes it seems harder and harder to get parts for it, I spoke with B&O tech here in Canada a while ago and he was telling me that the parts are scarce and if you find the part you are still better off to just buy another set rather than getting parts to fix it.....

[@annjuweliers2481]

Very inspiring , would it also be possible to connect more than two bluetooth modules? Greetings from Belgium

[@BangOlufsenHome]

I am not sure that would be a question to the seller of the module this is the one I bought Each module can support two speakers BT Amplifier Board Module Speaker Audio Receiver Supports Tws Pairing a.aliexpress.com/_m0yYSAY Thank you so much for watching

To me when people don't use the correct drill bit,it's like the sound of finger nails scratching a blackboard,I'll never understand why people find it so difficult to match the bit to the screw.

Sorry 😞
