Sounds interesting but unfortunately "Access Denied"

Get a lead made with Sommer LLX cable and Neutrik NP (Professional) connectors. Top specification. It doesn't kink or curl, doesn't remember it's been coiled and lays out flat on the floor when you unwind it.

Very sad news indeed. RIP Martin.

a. I have these on my own board In most cases you cannot see both ends of the cable so it doesn't really matter unless you have severe OCD, just be ure to put them all the same way round. The first cables I started making for sale were adaptors to go from Boss 2.1mm co-ax plug to EH 3.5mm jack. Initially I would solder both connectors but then I realised that by buying a moulded male to female 2.1mm extension lead and by using 300mm from each end I could make a male Boss to 3.5mm jack and a female Boss to 3.5mm jack for only half the effort. The offcuts were kept for one-off custom dc leads. b. A small multimeter is essential to check and test the final result. I used to buy almost all my bits for these from CPC/Farnell. Get them to send you a catalogue, it makes great reading.

I think you'll find that it's 1+ and 2+ at the amp end and normal 1+ and 1- at the cabinet.

We spent the last year in limbo waiting to sell and move. Since we got here we've got planning permission for an extension and internal changes so we're back in limbo again waiting for a builder to become available. Due to lockdown we've not been able to get out and about and the weather has been dreadful but hey ho lockdown is ending and the summer is coming and hopefully the temperature will rise so things are looking up. Absolutely no regrets at all. 😁

I still have a few bits so could convert to right-angle Speakon if you want.

I only ever used Klotz LY240 4-sq.mm. Subwoofer cable.

It,s a custom job made in China. Has 3 wires but seeing as there are no schematics available and I, ver never been able to charge it properly I don't know exactly what voltage it is supposed to be. It has 3 terminals so dual voltage. If I can get a working one I can find out. One idea is to use it as the basis for a DIY project.

Thanks for the info @bigRedX. I was going to send it to the Netherlands however this doesn't seem like a good plan at the moment. I bought this Backbeat on the Forum a few years ago . Apparently it was one of the early Crowdfunded Backbeats some of which have developed a known fault which means the whole board and possibly the battery need changing i.e. over 50% of the parts need replacing. I've been in contact with Backbeat and they can send me a replacement board from the USA which I could fit but there is no guarantee that my battery has not been damaged, however they cannot send me a replacement battery unless it is inside a piece of equipment, so the only way is to send the whole thing back to the USA and have it updated. So I am in a bit of dilemma. 1. Buy a new board and hope that the battery is OK - $130 plus duty plus admin plus VAT 2. Send it to the Netherlands and deal with all the extra paperwork - 145 Euro plus postage plus admin plus possibly VAT on its return. 3. Send it to the USA with hopefully simpler paperwork. $130 plus shipping to USA plus admin plus possiblt VAT on its return. 4. Put it back in its box and wait for the world to settle and buy a new one. £334.00 Regretably I'm thinking option 4 is probably the best and easiest option.

I have a faulty Backbeat. They sent me a new battery which I fitted however it is still faulty. Battery is not charging so only works for about 30 seconds after a very long charge. They are telling me send it to the Netherlands to be fixed which raises all sorts of administrative questions regarding paperwork, Customs, etc. Has anyone had to send something to Europe for servicing since Brexit?

This looks like it's what you want https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC14V-2A-UK-EU-US-AU-Adapter-AC-to-DC-Converter-Power-Supply-Adapter-5-5-2-PCL/154233414667?hash=item23e907240b:g:CnIAAOSwylpfz0LV&var=454339966712 Select UK version from drop-down box. Just need to double check that the DC plug is the correct size.
