Beolab penta mkII backlight intensity

5 replies
Hi Forum ,   Is there a way to give the backlight more intensity ??
left one is rather dim .
 
Is there any chance the 'brighter' one is presenting through a replacement (thinner) plastic window?

no , both have new lenses , the bright one is a newer lcd module .
Are your speakers MK2? If so, the glasses seem to be very dark - perhaps they are in fact mkIII glasses. See here: https://www.dksoundparts.com/?s=penta+display+covers&post_type=product Martin.
martin ,   those covers are used , their MKII versions . the right one has a new lcd and is much brighter . I wondered if there was a way to make the other one a bit brighter
