Has the front grill cloth on your Bang & Olufsen Beolab 8000 speakers become worn and unfastened over time? You now have the chance to alter that. In this video, I demonstrate how to replace the grill fabric on your Beolab 8000 speakers.
I used 5 mm double-sided tape and acoustic speaker front cloth in the video.

I wanted to thank you for posting this video tutorial...
I have just finished restoring my first series Beolab 8000 and the result is really excellent!
Thank you!

Well done! Already wondered how to do this..

Hi usmanalivirk

Nice , 👍👌
Hi Ann Juweliers
Thank you.
Very nice result and great instruction.
By the way, I think the top-inside is the most difficult part, but looks great on the outside.
Question: how did you cut away the excess material/fabric on the inside of the top corners?
Hi Ernst Kolvenbag
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad for you like the video. Yes the top-inside are the difficult section. But when you have tried 3-4 times it will be easier.
You can just use a scissors to cut it, but something it's not necessary to cut it.
If the fabric has very little sag can you use the same original material but stretch it a little more? my only concern is that when the fabric is removed from the sides it may damage and stretch the original fabric too much?
Yes, you can do that. I have tried that before. But you need to be easy on the fabric when you are using that method.
I've seen much better results.
My covers have been renewed last year by a guy in Netherland and look like new. And he can deliver many colours.
Hi kolkira
Thank you for your comment. This is just one way to do it.
Link for him, please?
Looks good, and a big thank you for the video. I'm however a bit concerned by the fabric, which looks pretty 'thick' to me... are you sure it's as 'acoustically neutral' as possible ?????
Hi John
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad for you like the video. Yes, it's very hard to find a fabric to match the originals one. This fabric in the video was the best I could find but I'm sure that there are many other options.
I didn’t look so far, I had rather some nylon stockings in mind, because I think that it should be as ‘acoustically transparent’ as possible… maybe I’ll check at some professionals to have their opinion on this …
Yes, the top is very tricky. I moved away from using speaker-fabrics for the beolabs. Most of the fabrics were too thick for the top.
So, i went for a opaque pantyhose/nylons (40 to 60 DEN). One leg for one grill.
Go for the lager sizes and do not be suprised the salesperson observing you... if you spend 1h testing and selecting the right color and look. 😂😂😂
Yes, the tricky part is on the top.
Pantyhose/nylons trick and also be used. I have done it ones and it was actually look to the original look. I was very happy with the result.
Hehe. I hope salesperson was understood it was to a speaker frame :D
@KoseTrading 🙃🙃🙃 she was getting suspicious when I asked for oversize 🙈🙈🙈 ok, it was my first time... 46-48 is fully sufficient
@@oly7744 Haha :D It's also very odd for a man for looking for pantyhose/nylons in the girl sections :D
Link for the fabric?
Hi. Thank you for your comment.
Here is a link you can use to find some fabric on Amazon.

You take cover oaks and and you solved the problem for ever……and you have better appearance 😉
That will be a great move :)
slightly clumsy work
Thank you for your comment. What part of the video are clumsy.?
Bit harsh? be more specific if you wish to criticise. He has done a great job with making videos restoring Bang and Olufsen products as a whole.
Just don't have nothing to say. why not stay away we like what he has done. Some people are never happy. @@KoseTrading
