Yes, in his email to me, the B rep assured me their engineers had tested the 
speaker for heat and were satisfied about its safety. I still like to err on

I raun my computer with the MM1's 24/7 for a week to see how they would hold up

The speakers came out of it all okay and it seems I was right in thinking that

Re: B MM1's Observations

[Dane Trethowan]

I raun my computer with the MM1's 24/7 for a week to see how they would 
hold up given the heat in the right hand speaker and the fact that we've 
had some extremely hot whether last week.


The speakers came out of it all okay and it seems I was right in 
thinking that the alaminium top dissipates the heat.


Unfortunately B was rather vague on the subject of the right hand 
speaker getting warm, all they had to say on the subject was that, "This 
is perfectly normal", well perhaps that's all that needs to be said.

Jamie,

I've been looking for the answer I once got to your concern about the heat in the

when the computer shuts down, but I now think B made it automatic. Please 
feel free to test this and, if I'm wrong, please re-post. I don't think I have 
more, but I'd double-check.

Meanwhile, I've found on my Windows 7 system where you can find settings for 
the MM1 speakers.

Via the Windows search field, go to "devices and printers" and arrow down 
through the list. Assuming you find MM1 there, as I do on my system, right-click for your 
options.

I also find my MM1s in the " device manager" list. On my windows 7 system, I type "driver" 
into the Windows search field and arrow down through the results. Once I find "device manager," I press 
enter. I then press tab, and then I'm in a tree view. I press s for 'sound" to get close to the sound 
devices, where I press enter. I then arrow down to MM1. At that point I either press enter or right-click. (I 
can't remember which as I write.) Here, you confirm whether the drives are up to date.

If you don't find your MM1s in these two places, here are instructions I received 
from B all the way back in 2012. The man who wrote knew I was using a 
screenreader, and so he took care to give directions with which I could work. 
However, I don't know if his instructions still apply, since I haven't needed to 
use them since. My system then was XP. The rest of this post is his words:

If you have the front of the master speaker facing you, there should be 3 
cables coming out the back on the bottom of the speaker.  With the front of the 
speaker facing you, reach behind the speaker on the right side. The power cable 
will be coming out of the right side, on the back. If you follow this cable 
towards you, into the bottom of the speaker you will hit the power jack where 
the cable plugs into. Although the power cable can be a little difficult to 
remove I suggest unplugging this end instead of the end that plugs into the 
wall outlet.

Once the power cord is unplugged hold in the power button. You can find it on 
the left side of the speaker, where the end of the metal band that wraps around 
the speaker runs into the cloth grille. You should hear it click when pressed 
in. Now reinsert the power cord on the bottom as you hold in the power button. 
Once the power cord is plugged in all the way and you let go of the power 
button the light should turn white.

Now it is a matter of going into your device manager and looking for device with a 
yellow exclamation point under “Unknown Devices” then right-clicking on it and 
choosing “Update Driver Software”. Now choose to manually select the driver 
software from the directory where you installed the MM-1 Programmer. The directory 
name is usually  “C:\Program Files\Bowers & Wilkins\MM-1 Programmer”.

I’m a little unclear as to what the next steps would be for Windows XP, but 
after you choose to manually install the drivers and then select the MM-1 
Programmer Directory then click “Next” it should ask you if you’re sure you 
want to install the drivers although they are not digitally signed. You will 
want to select “Install anyway”.  After you select that then the drivers should 
install and you should be able to go back into the MM-1 Programmer application 
and then update the firmware with no problems.

I would say that - given what I've already written - its automatic 
though you may have to manually power up from standby as I had to do.


I'm thinking of getting a second pair for the lounge, the MM1's are 
impressive though they do have some competition from Keff, Focal and a 
couple of others which I'm going to chase up in a moment.

Jamie,

I've been looking for the answer I once got to your concern about the heat in 
the right speaker. I can't find the instruction for how to have the speaker 
turn off when the computer shuts down, but I now think B made it automatic. 
Please feel free to test this and, if I'm wrong, please re-post. I don't think 
I have more, but I'd double-check.

Meanwhile, I've found on my Windows 7 system where you can find settings for 
the MM1 speakers.

I also find my MM1s in the " device manager" list. On my windows 7 system, I

Once I find "device manager," I press enter. I then press tab, and then I'm in

press enter. I then arrow down to MM1. At that point I either press enter or 
right-click. (I can't remember which as I write.) Here, you confirm whether the 
drives are up to date.

If you don't find your MM1s in these two places, here are instructions I 
received from B all the way back in 2012. The man who wrote knew I was using 
a screenreader, and so he took care to give directions with which I could work. 
However, I don't know if his instructions still apply, since I haven't needed 
to use them since. My system then was XP. The rest of this post is his words:

If you have the front of the master speaker facing you, there should be 3

will be coming out of the right side, on the back. If you follow this cable 
towards you, into the bottom of the speaker you will hit the power jack where

Once the power cord is unplugged hold in the power button. You can find it on 
the left side of the speaker, where the end of the metal band that wraps around 
the speaker runs into the cloth grille. You should hear it click when pressed 
in. Now reinsert the power cord on the bottom as you hold in the power button. 
Once the power cord is plugged in all the way and you let go of the power 
button the light should turn white.

Now it is a matter of going into your device manager and looking for device 
with a yellow exclamation point under “Unknown Devices” then right-clicking on 
it and choosing “Update Driver Software”. Now choose to manually select the 
driver software from the directory where you installed the MM-1 Programmer. The

procedure I outlined above - and I’m willing to bet that the same will apply to 
your model given the update was released nearly 2 years ago - march 2015 -.
So do enjoy your speakers please! .

Someone on list mentioned that they managed to get their B MM1’s to go into 
standby mode when the computer shut down.
I’m running my MM1’s through my Mac’s USB port and I have noticed that - by default - 
they turn to standby mode when the computer itself is shut down however one has to 
remember to power up the MM1’s, its a bit disconcerting to turn on and boot your 
computer not to hear any speech from the Voiceover Screen Reader when the computer is 
booted, thankfully I have a Braille display which I use frequently so it didn’t take 
me long to spot the problem .

Ideally they should power on automatically. Well I have looked high and low on 
the B pages and archive and can not find the links to download the PC 
software to update the firmware anyware. Manuals and other documents no problem.

Someone on list mentioned that they managed to get their B MM1’s to go into 
standby mode when the computer shut down.
I’m running my MM1’s through my Mac’s USB port and I have noticed that - by 
default - they turn to standby mode when the computer itself is shut down 
however one has to remember to power up the MM1’s, its a bit disconcerting to 
turn on and boot your computer not to hear any speech from the Voiceover Screen 
Reader when the computer is booted, thankfully I have a Braille display which I 
use frequently so it didn’t take me long to spot the problem .
