Take a closer look at a legend in the turntable category: the Beogram 4000c. The revival of the unique pickup with the innovative parallel transfer head is a fact. From 26 to 30 August our store will host the Beosystem 72-23 complete sound system. Join us in celebrating the revival of a historic product, where beloved classics meet modern innovation.
Redefining the future
In 1972, designer Jacob Jensen envisioned the evolution of sound engineering and created the Beogram 4000. His own achievement was to completely change the turntable and build a better performing product that would stand the test of time.
“The point is to find out the best possible way to get to the other side, instead of just worrying about how to build the bridge,” he said. This radical spirit has always been at the heart of Bang & Bridge. Olufsen – in its DNA – as well as its commitment to technologically advanced products that stand the test of time.
The first Beogram 4002 was also ready for the future: the extra space in its architecture allowed the addition of technological upgrades that had not even been invented at the time.
Reconstruction of the Classics
Looking to the future, the B&O engineering team modernised the Beogram 4000 at the same factory where it was originally built, in Struer, Denmark. They thus created the Beogram 4000C The first of the Rebuilt Classics.
A Complete, Collectible, Classic
The rebuilt version of the Beogram 4000c turntable – with the addition of aluminium and solid wood – combined with the modern Beolab 28 wireless stereo speakers and the Beoremote Halo remote control, is a complete and integrated music system. It incorporates Jacob Jensen’s genius vision from 1972 and redefines it for the discerning music enthusiast of 2024.
The system features a wooden furniture stand for the turntable, a charging station for the Halo remote control and a wireless interface centre.
When the turntable is not in use, it is a digital music streaming system – proving that for Bang & Olufsen, classic design must coexist with modern innovation.
The furniture features record storage – and, a carefully selected collection of four albums, all-time classics, released in 1972 – a year that was in many ways a defining year for music. One Classic befittingly sits within another Classic.
